Sen Robert Cowles announces he won't seek re-election in the newly redrawn 2nd District
Once the signs go up at the Mike Ellis Memorial Interchange, one of his longtime colleagues hopes it will lead younger people to be curious about Ellis.
Republican Sen. Rob Cowles of Allouez says if anyone asks who Ellis was, he’d be happy to tell them about the Neenah Republican.
Cowles calls Ellis an “exceptional leader” and a “budget genius.” He says Ellis had special skills to get along with people, and get things done. He believes younger people could study him, and learn lessons about being a leader.
Cowles believes Ellis was one of the best lawmakers in the history of the state.
