Allen (R) won't seek reelection to the Assembly after losing Waukesha mayoral bid

GOP state Rep. Scott Allen announced today he won’t seek reelection after losing a bid for Waukesha mayor last week.

Allen, who was first elected in 2014, is the 10th member of the Assembly to retire or decide to run for another office.

Allen said in a statement he’s taking a sabbatical from elected office. The 60-year-old also served as a Waukesha alderman from 1998-2001.

“We are blessed with living in the greatest country of all time. Service is the rent that we pay for such privilege,” Allen said. “Protecting our freedoms and opportunities takes work and when we begin to take them for granted, we run the risk of losing them.”
