KAUKAUNA, Wis. — Rep. Jim Steineke, the majority leader in the Wisconsin State Assembly, will not seek re-election.
In a statement Tuesday, the Republican leader said that it’s time for someone new to take over.
“Serving as an elected representative has been one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences of my life,” Steineke said. “However, I firmly believe the time has come to pass the torch and allow for others in our community to step forward and serve their neighbors.”
Steineke was first elected to the Assembly in 2010, representing the 5th Assembly district. In 2012, he was elected assistant majority leader, and then majority leader in 2014.
“Through bold, conservative leadership, we’ve been able to accomplish so much,” he said. “I’m extremely proud of the results legislative Republicans have been able to deliver over the past decade.”
The former Outagamie County Board member indicated that he will return to the private sector at the end of his term.
