Polashek Suspends Campaign for State Senate
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | June 2, 2016
From WisPolitics:
Dave Polashek, a former Oconto Falls Public Schools superintendent, is dropping his campaign for the 12th SD, saying a Dem primary would hurt the effort to beat GOP Sen. Tom Tiffany.
Bryan Van Stippen, who resigned his seat on the Stevens Point City Council in April 2015 and moved to Deerbrook, originally planned to run for the state Assembly against GOP Rep. Mary Czaja. But he announced last month he was switching to the 12th SD instead.
Polashek said Van Stippen’s decision led him to conclude an expensive primary would divide resources and efforts to beat Tiffany, R-Hazelhurst.
“Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing anyone can ever learn,” Polashek said, adding he is supporting Van Stippen.
Renea Frederick, of Merrill, filed nomination papers to challenge Czaja.
