Ted Zigmunt is a former Democratic Party member of the Wisconsin State Assembly,representing the 2nd Assembly District after defeating incumbent Frank Lasee in the November 2008 election. [1]
In the Democratic primary Zigmunt narrowly won the nomination,with the initial counts having his lead at four votes. [2] His closest primary opponent,Lee Brocher,requested a recount which expanded his lead to 7 votes. [3]
Zigmunt went into the general election as an underdog,and several pundits believed Lasee was the favorite to win,due in part to the partisan lean of the district and his personal style,as well as Zigmunt's support from the state teacher's union,WEAC. [4]
On November 2,2010,Zigmunt was defeated by Republican nominee Andre Jacque. [5]
Zigmunt served as the Village President of Francis Creek,Wisconsin from 2004 to 2018. [1]
