Sen. Robert Jauch

Our honored guest was Sen. Robert Jauch:

Robert “Bob” Jauch (b. November 22, 1945) is a former Democratic member of the Wisconsin State Senate, representing District 25 from 1986 to 2015. From 1993 to 1995, he served as the Senate Minority Leader.
Jauch served in the Wisconsin State Assembly from 1983 to 1987.

On October 9, 2013, Jauch announced that he would not run for re-election to the Wisconsin State Senate in 2014. Citing his inability to muster the energy required to “maintain [his] commitment [to Wisconsin citizens] in a political landscape where representative democracy is on life support,” Jauch lamented that “This government is no longer transparent. …Special interests have too much power…no matter which party is in control. …I think democracy in this state is at risk. Both sides play way too much to their base.”
