Senate District 33 Special Election Is Tuesday

State Rep. Paul Farrow will be elected on Tuesday as the next state senator.

Paul Farrow will be elected as the next state senator on Tuesday – pending any write-in candidates. Farrow is running unopposed on the Republican ticket for the 33rd Senate District.

Farrow, who beat Republican Chris Kapenga in the primary election in November, will replace State Sen. Rich Zipperer after Zipperer resigned to take a top position with Gov. Scott Walker’s administration.

It’s been a busy year at the polls. Farrow’s election on Tuesday will be the seventh month with an election in Waukesha in 2012.

Because turnout is expected to be low, all voters in Waukesha are casting ballots at City Hall. The city is expecting to save at least $12,000 by having one central polling location for the election. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Farrow is currently serving as the state representative for the 98th Assembly District.
