MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Former state Rep. Duey Stroebel credits hard work and a good message for his win in Wisconsin’s 20th Senate District. Stroebel collected about 67 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s special primary election, easily beating Ozaukee County Board Chairman Lee Schlenvogt and military veteran Tiffany Koehler. No Democrats are running in the April 7th general election, making it all but certain that Stroebel’s win will increase the Republican majority in the Senate to 19-14. The Cedarburg real estate developer couldn’t beat Glenn Grothman last year in a run for Congress, but he’ll likely take Grothman’s seat in the Senate. Stroebel thanked his opponents and said it was a clean race with the focus on the issues. In unofficial returns, Schlenvogt trailed with about 24 percent of the vote and Koehler brought in about 8 percent.
