  • Informational Memorandum 09−2 Revised December 2010
    Informational from the Legislative Memorandum Reference Bureau Informational Memorandum 09−2 Revised December 2010 WISCONSIN LEGISLATORS CHARGED WITH CRIMES AND VIOLATIONS OF ETHICS AND CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS, 1939-2010 Of the almost 6,000 persons who have served in the Wisconsin Legislature since statehood in 1848, relatively few have become involved with legal problems while serving in office. This listing of Wisconsin legislators accused of wrongdoing includes only publicly reported incidents since 1939 involving incumbents and does not purport to be comprehensive. It was primarily compiled from news articles contained in the LRB Theobald Legislative Library clippings collection (Call Number 328.14). The listing begins with 1939 because reliable information is not available for prior years. It summarizes, in reverse chronological order, the offense and disposition of cases involving felony and misdemeanor crimes or of violations of ethics and campaign finance laws. The listing includes incidents of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs (Operating While Intoxicated, or OWI), but omits minor traffic offenses. Felony and misdemeanor convictions are in bold. Removal From Office Upon Felony Conviction; Ineligibility for Elected Office. The Wis- consin Constitution in Article XIII, Section 3, and the Wisconsin Statutes, in Section 17.03 (5), pro- vide that a legislator is ineligible for public office and the office is vacant when the incumbent is convicted of and sentenced for a felony in a state or federal court. No action on the part of the legis- lature is required to remove the legislator from office. In addition, this section of the constitution, as well as Section 8.21, Wisconsin Statutes, provides that, unless pardoned, a person convicted of any felony, or of a misdemeanor involving a violation of public trust, is ineligible to hold any elected or other office of “trust, profit or honor.” Legislators to be Tried in Home County.
