Pam Galloway's statement on her resignation: “Today I am announcing my retirement from the Wisconsin State Senate. After a great deal of thought and consideration, I’ve decided to put the needs of my family first. My family has experienced multiple, sudden and serious health issues, which require my full attention. Unfortunately this situation is not compatible with fulfilling my obligations as State Senator or running for re-election at this time. It has been a tremendous honor to serve the residents of the 29th Senate District, and I want to thank them for the privilege of working on their behalf. I am proud to have sponsored a number of bills that passed in a bipartisan fashion and made this state a better place. Throughout my race for this seat, I promised to bring CPR to the Legislature. I’m proud to say that I accomplished all three in controlling spending, promoting jobs and reducing taxes. I thank my colleagues for all their support, and I wish them all the best in their work to rebuild this state. For the sake of the electorate, I hope that better days are ahead for this institution. To my supporters, family and friends, thank you for the encouragement and unwavering support to allow me to do a job that I absolutely love. Finally, to my constituents, I wish them my very best and again thank them for entrusting me to look out for their best interests.”
