“Anyone know if Gallagher’s district is ‘safe’ for conservatives?”
It’s safe for Republicans (R+10). Very few districts in this country can be safely counted on to elect *conservatives* though and this isn’t one of them.
HOWEVER:
With Democrats set to gerrymander Wisconsin sometime this year, they may now smell blood in the water here and alter the 8th district to be more favorable to them. Their plan is to eliminate 2 Republicans out of the 6 who are in the House, and Gallagher perhaps just made that task easier — first with his traitorous vote and then by eliminating himself from the picture entirely.
