Former gas station owner Tony Wied won the Republican primary Tuesday to replace retired U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher following a campaign that leaned almost exclusively on former President Donald Trump’s endorsement.
Wied, whom Trump endorsed before he formally launched his campaign in April, edged former Appleton state Sen. Roger Roth and handily defeated De Pere state Sen. Andre Jacque in both the special primary election and regularly scheduled primary election. Roth and Jacque called Wied to concede the race late Tuesday.
Candidates for the 8th Congressional District appeared twice on the ballot due to the timing of Gallagher’s early retirement from Congress this year. The special elections triggered by early exit fell on the same days as the regularly scheduled elections. More
Well done, Mr. Wied. Please be very careful. Highly experienced evildoers will be out to get you. Thanks for your promise of support for President Trump 47, and best of luck to you!
I get a kick out of the other two asking him to concede and then going on to lose.
They kind of look foolish now.
