Zipperer beats Dietrich for Senate 33rd District seat
Voters in Senate District 33 overwhelming decided to promote state Assembly member Rich Zipperer to the upper chamber Tuesday.
Zipperer took the seat in a contest with Tim Dietrich, making his first bid for the Legislature. There is no Democratic candidate, so Zipperer wins the seat. The district includes parts of Waukesha and Washington counties.
Zipperer, 36, of Pewaukee, was elected to the Assembly in 2006 after working in the office of U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner for eight years, both in Washington, D.C. and in Waukesha County.
When Sen. Ted Kanavas announced early this year that he would not seek re-election, Zipperer entered the race almost immediately and quickly attracted many mainstream Republican endorsements. Dietrich, a 57-year-old truck driver and Sussex village trustee, joined the race in March. Dietrich calls himself a true conservative and didn't accept any financial contributions to his campaign.
