TOMAH � The candidate who won the 92nd District Assembly race last week doesn’t plan to pursue a lawsuit against a third-party group that attempted to derail his candidacy.

Democrat Mark Radcliffe of Black River Falls said Friday he is unlikely to continue his lawsuit against the Coalition for American Families.
Radcliffe won a Nov. 1 restraining order from Jackson County Circuit Judge Thomas Lister to prevent CFAF from airing radio ads attacking Radcliffe’s views on health care.

The ad said in part: “So hey, if you’re an illegal alien looking for free health care, call Mark Radcliffe ... and tell him thanks for his plan to stick it to Wisconsin taxpayers.”

The injunction was lifted two days later by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and remanded to Trempealeau County Circuit Court Judge John Damon.

Radcliffe defeated Republican Dan Hellman for the seat vacated by Republican Terry Musser, who is retiring after 11 terms.

Radcliffe said the suit accomplished its purpose.

“It was filed strictly for the purpose of getting an injunction,” Radcliffe said. “I don’t know what the point would be with going on with it anymore.”
