MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A rogue Republican lawmaker who alienated her colleagues in the Wisconsin Assembly when she embraced debunked election fraud conspiracy theories is vying to win an open state Senate seat. If State Rep. Janel Brandtjen or any other Republican is victorious, the GOP would hold a supermajority in that chamber. Brandtjen, who was kicked out of the Republican Assembly caucus in November, faces fellow state Rep. Dan Knodl and Thiensville Village President Van Mobley in a GOP primary Tuesday. The winner will face Democratic attorney Jodi Habush Sinykin in the April 4 general election. A Republican win in April would give the GOP a 22-11 supermajority in the Senate.
