“As the representative of Northeast Wisconsin and Chairman of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, I have a rare, bipartisan opportunity in the 118th Congress to help restore American strength, prevent war in the Pacific, and defend our basic freedoms from communist aggression. Accomplishing this mission and serving Wisconsin’s 8th District deserve my undivided attention. Therefore, I will not run for the Senate in 2024 and will pursue re-election to the House. I believe that when we look back in 50 years, the American people will ask: Did our elected leaders rally as a country and confront the Chinese Communist Party threat before it was too late? Continuing to lead this fight in the House of Representatives is the best way for me to help answer that question affirmatively,” says Wisconsin MAGA Congressman Mike Gallagher, who had been considered the NRSC’s prize recruit to take on Dem Senator Tammy Baldwin, in a statement.
Wonder what might have prompted him to pass on likely sharing the statewide ticket with former President Trump in the crucial swing state. Maybe he just really, really likes being in the House.
