Update: Here is the Journal Sentinel story.
South Milwaukee will have new representation in the state Senate.
Milwaukee County Supervisor Chris Larson rolled past incumbent Jeff Plale, a 4th District resident, in the Democratic primary on Tuesday.
With 99 percent of precincts reporting, Larson had 7,607 votes (60 percent) to Plale’s 5,033 (40 percent).
As expected, Plale did well in South Milwaukee, topping Larson 1,157 to 658 — a huge margin that shows just how wide the gap was in the rest of the 7th Senate District.
Larson will face Republican Jess Ripp in November and be a heavy favorite.

It’s really too bad he lost.
Unfortunately, the governor race took precedence and people were more worried about the Republican nominee and therefore couldn’t vote for Jeff.
Jeff has been out of touch with his constituents and what they wanted. Try calling his office and see if you would talk directly with him or if he would call you back. New blood is needed in government and the people have responded. Can’t wait until November!!
Jeff always responded to my concerns, even when I was snippy, angry or sarcastic in my correspondence to him. He called me a few nights before the election and spoke to me at length about questions I had regarding positions he held. Now we will see how a real liberal (Chris Larsen) votes, i.e., green energy bill, (skyrocketing utility costs for the poor, the middle class and business) and hi-speed rail, (a complete waste of Federal tax payer money, which will need to be almost entirely subsidized by Wisconsin taxpayers, like middle class families struggling in a recession.) I agree with Keri as to why many did not vote for Plale in the primary.
