Representative Frank Gersham Lasee is a Republican member of the Wisconsin Assembly for the state's 2nd Assembly District. Lasee has distributed an update newsletter, Lasee's Notes, via e-mail to constituents and other interested parties for nearly a decade.[1]
History
Born December 11, 1961 and raised in Oceanside, California, Lasee graduated in 1986 from the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay with a degree in history and a minor in business administration.[2][3] He is the father of three daughters. [citation needed]
Prior to his election to the State Assembly in 1994, Lasee was the Ledgeview, Wisconsin Town Board Chair from 1993 to 1997,[3] and worked for a Green Bay, Wisconsin insurance company, where he trained telemarketers. [citation needed]
Lasee is a member of the State Assembly who has been a dissenter on many issues, including state budgets.[4] He is known as an advocate of taxpayers, limited spending and an opponent of the tax increases they bring.[5]
Controversy
Paternity Suit
In 2005 Kari Manteufel filed a paternity suit against Lasee for a daughter born in November 2004. Lasee subsequently acknowledged that he was the father of the child and agreed to pay child support, giving custody to the mother of the child.[6]
Guns in schools
Lasee achieved notariety through his proposal to increase the number of guns in public schools, which conflicts with existing federal law that bans guns on school grounds.[7][8]
