A conservative Republican lawmaker alleges Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, has retaliated against him and other conservative representatives for seeking a leadership change in the new legislative session, highlighting a rare public divide in a legislative majority that typically sticks together.
Allen WISCONSIN ASSEMBLY
Rep. Scott Allen, R-Waukesha, recently sent a letter to his Republican colleagues alleging that Vos is punishing conservatives who unsuccessfully challenged the Assembly GOP leadership during caucus elections by âstripping the veteran members involved in that initiative of our committee chairmanships.â
âHis goal is to penalize us to get us to behave and do what he wants,â Allen wrote. âWe had conservatives run for nearly every position in leadership, and we all lost.â
