Glenn Grothman won last week’s Republican primary in the 6th CD by just more than 200 votes, prompting some to predict a recount was likely.
Fellow state Sen. Joe Leibham took second place in the four-way contest. He announced Friday that he’s decided not to request a recount, “after a review of the official election results and prayerful consideration” with his family.
Grothman will face Winnebago County Executive Mark Harris, a Democrat, at the polls in November.
