GERMANTOWN, Wis. — Republican state Representative Dan Knodl won an open state Senate seat, which gives the GOP a supermajority that could override vetoes of their legislation by Democratic Governor Tony Evers. Knodl defeated Jodi Habush Sinykin for the seat from northern Milwaukee suburbs. The new Senate majority means that a Senate vote to impeach Evers would be veto-proof. While campaigning, however, Knodl said he had no interest interested in impeaching Evers. He said has been able to work with the governor. Knodl, however, is not averse to impeachments. He said wants to get rid of Milwaukee judges for being lenient on criminals.

Knodl. The new Senate majority is 22 to 11.
