Harris Loses To Grothman In Wisconsin's 6th District

Democrat and Winnebago County Executive Mark Harris lost to Republican Glenn Grothman in Wisconsin's 6th District on Tuesday.

The seat became open when Rep. Tom Petri (R-Wis.) announced his retirement.

Grothman, who serves as assistant majority leader in the Wisconsin state Senate, has gained national media attention for fighting for a seven-day workweek, calling Kwanzaa a fake holiday, sponsoring legislation that repealed the state's Equal Pay Enforcement Act, proposing legislation that would have considered single parenthood "a contributing factor to child abuse and neglect" and arguing that public employees shouldn't have Martin Luther King Jr. Day off.
