Wood Offered Leadership Position by Democrats

Heh.

Democrats in the state Assembly said they’ll welcome former Republican Jeff Wood with a committee leadership post if they win the majority this fall.

Wood announced last week he no longer wanted to be a Republican and filed to run for re-election as an independent. Wood said Republicans blacklisted him because he was too independent — a charge GOP leaders have denied.

State Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Madison, is heading up Democrats’ campaign efforts. He said his party is inclusive and would welcome anyone.

Pocan denied anyone offered Wood a committee chair position in exchange for dropping out of the GOP.

Uh huh.
