Jeffrey T. 'Jeff' Plale is a Democratic politician and former member of the Wisconsin Senate, representing the 7th District from 2003 until 2011. He was previously a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly from 1996 through 2003.
He lost his 2010 bid for re-nomination on September 14, 2010 when he was defeated in the Wisconsin Democratic primary election by Chris Larson, a member of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors,[1] who contended that Plale was far too conservative.[2] Plale lost by 5,148 (39.3%) to 7,962 (60.7%) for Larson.[3] Larson subsequently won the Senate race, in an election that saw four Democratic seats fall to Republicans.[4]
