WOW! Like Buck, Mike Gallagher carefully timed his departure. Under Wisconsin law, congressional vacancies occurring “prior to the 2nd Tuesday in April” in an election year get filled on a faster timeline. An April 19th resignation will keep Gallagher’s seat vacant until November pic.twitter.com/7VxSv4Bld5

Gallagher is fucking over his constituents for good measure by denying them representation through November. He could have resigned sooner, triggering a special election to fill his seat. This also means the GOP loses one more seat on their already razor thin margin.
