Republican Waukesha County Executive Paul Farrow says he won’t run for Congress to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner.
Farrow said in a statement Tuesday he can’t serve in Washington “when the issues I am most passionate about hit much closer to home.”
Numerous other Republicans remain in the mix to run next year to succeed Sensenbrenner in the strongly Republican district.
