Robin Vos Says Largest GOP Majority in 60 Years Set to Tackle State Transportation Funding

WISCONSIN -- Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) has been elected to a third term as Speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly, his office announced Monday.

Vos said Assembly Republicans are planning on working to find a long-term, sustainable solution to funding transportation, increasing support for education and making state government as efficient, effective and small as it can be.

Vos is the 75th Speaker of the Assembly in Wisconsin and will be serving the Assembly in this capacity for a third term, this time for the 2017-18 legislative session.

“I’m humbled to receive this vote of confidence from the 64-member Assembly majority, the largest GOP majority in 60 years.

“With the Republican sweep this election, we should see a new era of government with more power shifting away from the federal level and to the states where they can be laboratories of democracy. I look forward to new opportunities to make bold reforms and address issues at the state level.
