Updated: Big Victories for Larson, Honadel

Democrat Chris Larson will replace Jeff Plale as state senator in the 7th District. And Republican Mark Honadel is returning to the Assembly.

The Journal Sentinel has declared Larson the winner over Republican Jess Ripp. With 99 percent of precincts reporting, Larson had 56 percent of the vote to Ripp’s 44 percent — a bit smaller margin than he rode to victory over Plale in the September primary.

Here is the Journal Sentinel story.

Also, Honadel was rolling to victory in his race to represent his hometown in the 21st Assembly District. With 96 percent reporting, Honadel was leading Democrat Tom Michalski, an Oak Creek alderman, 63 percent to 38 percent.

Larson or Ripp? Endorsements Roll in in State Senate Race

The teachers like Chris Larson. Police officers like Jess Ripp.

Both candidates in the 7th Senate District race — Larson, the Democrat, and Ripp, the Republican — are landing their share of endorsements.

Most recently, it was the Wisconsin Education Association Council for Larson and the Milwaukee Police Association for Ripp.

Larson has also landed endorsements from a variety of unions, as well as a couple of supervisor colleagues, two Milwaukee aldermen and Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton. Ripp, meanwhile, has the backing of state Rep. Mark Honadel (R-South Milwaukee) and Milwaukee County Executive and Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker, as well as the mayors of Oak Creek and South Milwaukee.

See a complete listing of all endorsements for Ripp and Larson on their campaign websites.

Don’t forget to vote on Nov. 2. All 4th District residents cast their ballots at Rawson Elementary School. Learn more on the city’s election information page.

Oak Creek Mayor Endorses Ripp, Too, and Other Headlines of Interest

Republican State Senate candidate Jess Ripp has garnered another key South Shore endorsement: Oak Creek Mayor Dick Bolender.

Read the press release here. From it:

“Jess is the best candidate to represent the citizens of this district in Madison,” Bolender said. “His pledge to lower taxes and promote fiscal responsibility will help bring much needed jobs back to Wisconsin. Jess will be a true leader in Madison and I proudly endorse his campaign to represent our district in the State Senate.”

Bolender’s backing follows Saturday’s announcement that South Milwaukee Mayor Tom Zepecki would endorse Ripp (see below).

Check out Ripp’s full list of endorsements on his campaign website. They include South Milwaukee Rep. Mark Honadel and Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker, both Republicans, of course.
