State Rep. Cody Horlacher (R-Mukwonago) announced that he will not seek re-election to the State Assembly, instead choosing to run for Waukesha County Circuit Court after incumbent Maria Lazar won her election to the 2nd District Court of Appeals. Under the State Legislative maps proposed by Gov. Tony Evers, Horlacher would have been re-districted into the same Assembly district as Rep. Chuck Wichgers (R-Muskego). However, Horlacher said that he had been considering a run for circuit court even before the court’s decision, which was recently overturned.
“I’m committed to serving the people of our community. We need principled public servants who will preserve the rule of law, public safety, and our freedoms. As a Waukesha County judge, I will uphold the rule of law, ensure our constitutional rights are protected, and not legislate from the bench,” he said.
