State Rep. Cody Horlacher has announced that he will not seek a fifth term in the Wisconsin State Assembly.
Within a recent news release, Horlacher announced that he will instead run for a seat on the Waukesha County Circuit Court.
In an announcement released by Horlacher Tuesday, he said: “It has been an absolute honor to serve the people of Wisconsin’s 33rd Assembly District. It has been my privilege to serve as their representative since being elected in 2014. I want to thank everyone I’ve had the opportunity to serve and work with while in office.”
In addition, Horlacher announced his intention to run as a replacement for Judge Maria Lazar, who was elected as a District II judge of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals on April 5.
The election for Waukesha Circuit Court Branch 7 is in April of 2023, Horlacher wrote in his announcement, noting his plans to serve out the remainder of his term in the Wisconsin State Assembly and continue his private sector law practice.
Describing his record, Horlacher wrote in his campaign announcement that while serving in the state Legislature, he “has worked to advance protections for law enforcement and first responders” and has “served as the vice-chair of the Judiciary and Criminal Justice Committees in the Wisconsin State Assembly.
“I’m committed to serving the people of our community. We need principled public servants who will preserve the rule of law, public safety, and our freedoms. As a Waukesha County judge, I will uphold the rule of law, ensure our constitutional rights are protected, and not legislate from the bench,” Horlacher was quoted as saying within the announcement.
Before his election to the Wisconsin State Assembly, Horlacher served as an assistant district attorney in Walworth County, the announcement noted.
In addition to his public service experience, the announcement continued, Horlacher has been in private practice since 2017. In 2021, he opened his own law practice, focusing on estate planning and small business consulting.
According to the announcement, Horlacher lives with his wife and two children in the “southwestern gateway” of Waukesha County.
