Lipscomb Becomes Wisconsin's 33rd Senator
Wisconsin state Sen. Mark Lipscomb, a Milwaukee Democrat, took his oath Tuesday to join the Senate after resigning from the Assembly. In a brief ceremony Lt. Gov. Martin J. Schreiber administered the oath as Lipscomb signaled his first act by signing a historical volume of state senators.

Lipscomb noted he would likely pursue the idea again if given the chance. Four of his five children stayed in Milwaukee for the ceremony to avoid missing school.
