Scott Walker leaves office, Vos is positioning himself to take over as the state's most powerful Republican and is determined to protect conservative interests in the key Midwestern swing state from Democratic Gov.-elect Tony Evers.

Since ascending to speaker, Vos has helped build a Republican majority that reached its highest mark since 1957, with 64 members following the 2016 election. Vos maintained that Republicans won fair and square based on their record of success. He makes roughly $51,000 as speaker. I try to always look for how can we accomplish the end goal."

That has increased donations to the Assembly campaign committee that his chief of staff ran and that provided financial support to Republicans running for office. "I am not going to run for governor," Vos said.
