The Broadway performances of a U.S. congressman’s wife has become an unlikely talking point in Wisconsin politics.
In her campaign to unseat Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher by highlighting his background of “wealth and privilege,” Democratic State Rep. Amanda Stuck repeatedly mentions Gallagher’s marriage to a “Broadway star” in a video to the local PBS station.
Stuck doesn’t mention Anne Gallagher by name, perhaps because “Broadway star” is, well, a stretch.
“I don’t come from wealth and privilege like Mike Gallagher does,” Stuck says in the video. “I didn’t marry a Broadway star like Mike Gallagher did. I married a sheet metal journeyman.”
Stuck continues, “For most of us, Broadway is a street in Green Bay. It isn’t a place in Manhattan, like Mike Gallagher knows.”
The approach has made headlines in Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District and even drew a reproach from Actors’ Equity.
