Your posts are so factually incorrect, it's hard to know where to start.
Glenn's 20th Senate district encompasses all of Duey Stroebel's 60th Assembly District (the northern 2/3 of Ozaukee County and northeastern Washington County) plus Assembly Districts 58 & 59 (Washington County north of Richfield & Holy Hill minus parts of Hartford).
The only parts of Ozaukee County NOT in Glenn's & Duey's districts are Mequon-Thiensville and a lakeside portion of the Town of Grafton (given to Alberta Darling's district to make it safer for the GOP).
You keep trumpeting Grothman's "accomplishments" as a politician. For many conservatives, Glenn's lengthy time in office and the fact that he is both a lawyer & politician by trade are negative traits, not positive ones.
People perceive things differently. Charlie Sykes & Jay Weber think it's a great that Glenn doesn't watch TV & movies and prefers to read scholarly books of policy and political theory. I think it identifies him as an eccentric, out-of-touch wannabe academic.
I loved Duey's baseball ad and had a hand in its production. I'm not sure why you took offense to it. I think Duey would have had a better result if he had stuck to a campaign running against generic career and wonky politicians and promoting his successful business and family backgrounds.
If you were so mortally offended by the Stroebel campaign's exaggeration (please note: bad & poorly executed political exaggeration, not lies) of Grothman's record, you better dig deep and gird yourself for the fall general campaign.
As far as I know, Grothman is not a homeowner and pays no direct property taxes in the district (although some lamely argue his rental payments include a portion of his landlord's property taxes). Throw in Glenn's lifelong status as a childless single person and that he's never really been an entrepreneurial business owner and the Democrat's upcoming campaign attack characterization of Glenn Grothman as an out-of-touch firebrand policy geek will write themselves.
Again, I like Grothman as my state senator. I will be sad to see him leave that post. I just don't think his schtick will play well in DC.
Fortunately for Glenn and the GOP, the district is drawn favorably for Republicans
Aha! Now it comes out. You were part of Duey's team. Hardly an uncomitted observer.
Well, everybody I know hated that ad. They had been neutral on Duey, and some were even fond of him until that ad. They grew to hate him. It seemed almost like child abuse to encourage the little child to yell "You're out!" in such an ugly manner. It was just swarmy.
And then all those ads that tried to make it look like Glenn took money from the unions when he had not -- conflating Glenn's fundraising with Joe's.
I guess I'd like you to think about where Walker's agenda might be without Glenn's help and expertise in getting it through? Do you think the state would be running a surplus right now?
I don't always agree with Glenn, which is why I considered all candidates. But, when push came to shove, Glenn was the only choice. As I said before, you can always count on Glenn to do what he says he's going to do. I'd rather have someone who reads (and thinks) wonky, philosophical books than just another pretty face and a glad hand. Duey's ads came off as "not ready for prime time."
Before you write off Mequon and Thiensville as insignificant -- consider that we are the largest municipality(ies) in Ozaukee County. Glenn once represented half of us, and Duey once represented a significantly smaller portion. But, people here still remember Glenn showing up everywhere and engaging his constituents, as well as those who were not his constituents. Duey? Not so much.
