MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Another Republican senator is calling it quits.  Terry Moulton of Chippewa Falls announced Monday that he won’t seek a third term this fall.  He said that he has accomplished his goals of working for smaller government, a reduced tax burden and a better jobs climate. Republican state Rep. Kathy Bernier’s office said she plans to run for the seat.  Moulton is the fifth senator to decide not to seek re-election. Democrat Kathleen Vinehout is running for governor. Republican Leah Vukmir is running for U.S. Senate. Republican Frank Lasee resigned in December to join Gov. Scott Walker’s administration. Republican Sheila Harsdorf quit in November to join Walker’s cabinet.  Harsdorf’s seat was filled in a special election in January. Walker has refused to call a special election to fill Lasee’s seat.
