Rep Donovan on Redistricting

I can't tell you what a great honor it was for me to have been elected representative of the 84th District it was sort of a new lease on my political life I came here with a deep spirit and willingness to get things done and the work I might add in a bipartisan manner I'm very proud of our many accomplishments on a bipartisan nature from our shared Revenue to our plan and the wonderful things that we were able to move forward from Milwaukee much needed long overdue I'm proud of a legislation that was bipartisan regarding the crisis of reckless driving in Milwaukee I'm proud of the driver's education Bill another bipartisan piece of legislation and I thank the governor for signing those bills my interest in coming here was to get things done as much as possible that's why I can't tell you how disappointed I am in the apparent um Cherry mandering of me out of a district that I have represented for a short time but I will say this Mr Speaker a district that I know and have built relations some of them for decades relations with the local Representatives relationships with a lot of people that help make a difference now all right yes I'm disappointed but I'm not defeated I'm going to run if I have to in timbuck two I will move to run in the district to represent the people who chose me to be their representative I intend on doing that but I can't tell you in all sincerity how disappointed I am also another point I'd like to make Mr Speaker from the beginning I felt I felt I was a good addition to the Republican caucus because the reality is there aren't too many milwaukeeans sitting in that caucus and I thought the things that perhaps I was able to bring to the table are important to that caucus well I intend on giving it the biggest fight of my life and I'm going to support this bill but if I have to move you better believe I'm going to be calling all of you in the spirit of bipartisanship to help Bob Donovan move thank you Mr Speaker
