The chairperson of the Republican Party of Marathon County announced her candidacy for the 2010 Senate race Monday, challenging the seat of state Sen. Russ Decker, D-Weston, who is the Senate majority leader.
Pam Galloway said she aims to ""restore responsibility to our government"" through economic and social conservative policies. She said she plans to cut government spending and reduce taxes.
""The founding fathers established a system of limited government and prosperity through individual responsibilities and freedoms,"" she said in a statement. ""Wisconsin has veered off course. It is time to return to the original path.""
Galloway, a certified general surgeon and practicing physician, said one of her primary goals is to support Wisconsin's medical community. In a statement, she praised Wisconsin's medical torte reform and said she hopes to improve Wisconsin's medicine system.
Decker was elected to the state Senate in 1990. He replaced Judy Robson as majority leader in 2007.
