US Senate Candidate Marcus Gumz dead at 77

United States Senate candidate Marcus Gumz died Friday at his home in the town of Fairfield, WI. He was 77 years old.

With Gumz's death and the departure of Dave Redick to the Libertarian Party, the only remaining Republican candidate to take on Senator Herb Kohl is Robert Lorge, unless former Governor Tommy Thompson decides to make an unlikely run.

Our condolences go out to State Rep. Sheryl Albers and all of the Gumz family.
