“The Republican Party of Wisconsin congratulates State Representative-elect Paul Melotik on his win in the 24th Assembly Districts’ special election. His experience as a successful small business owner combined with his service on local county and town boards will make him an asset to the state Assembly. I have no doubt Melotik will use his office to fight for the values of his District: fiscal responsibility, smaller government, and quality education to create the best environment possible for Wisconsin families and businesses.” — WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming
