Glenn Grothman has said he's going to run for Tom Petri's congressional seat, since Petri is retiring.
Grothman has one challenger, Joe Leibham, who has an advantage over Grothman, he's actually from the area Grothman is running for.
Grothman is a carpetbagger.
Joe Leibham has been state congressman from this area for years.
