"GOP Majority on Edge as Rep. Gallagher's Resignation Sparks Speculation and Calls for Expulsion"
The Waupaca County Republican Party criticizes Congressman Mike Gallagher for resigning early, stating that no Marine would do so even in tough times, and urging him to resign immediately. Gallagher's resignation will not prompt a special election, and his seat will be filled in the general election as per Wisconsin law. His departure will leave Republicans with a slim majority in the House, posing challenges for party-line votes. Republican state senator Andre Jacque and former state senator Roger Roth are running for the vacant Wisconsin 8th Congressional District seat.
