The Wisconsin Legislature's deluge of lawmaker retirements in 2022 [View all]

/snip/

Of the outgoing legislators, 14 are Democrats and 17 are Republicans. Among them is Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke, R-Kaukauna, the second-ranking legislator in the Assembly behind the Speaker, who is retiring after 10 years in the legislature to pursue work in the private sector.

Not all want to leave politics. State Sen. Timothy Ramthun, R-Campbellsport, is running for governor. State Sen. Roger Roth, R-Appleton, and state Rep. Sara Rodriguez, D-Brookfield, are vacating seats to run for lieutenant governor. State Rep. Amy Loudenbeck, R-Clinton, is running for secretary of state. State Reps. Dianne Hesselbein, D-Middleton, Mark Spreitzer, D-Beloit, and Rachael Cabral-Guevara, R-Appleton, have their eyes on the state Senate. And state Reps. Chuck Wichgers, R-Muskego, and Don Vruwink, D-Milton, are running to represent different districts on the newly-drawn Assembly map.
