MADISON, Wis. (AP) — State Sen. Chris Larson says his decision not to seek another two years as leader of state Senate Democrats was a purely personal one, and he doesn’t know if he had the votes necessary to keep the post. Larson announced Tuesday that he was bowing out of the race to be Senate minority leader, leaving Sen. Jennifer Shilling, of La Crosse, as the only announced candidate. Larson says Shilling will be unanimously elected when Senate Democrats vote Wednesday. Larson says it became obvious when he was making phone calls and preparing for the next two years as minority leaders that his wife was hoping he would lose. Larson says, “That’s not a recipe for long-term success.” Republicans increased their state Senate majority from 18-15 to 19-14 following last week’s election.
