A Republican, he broke with his party to vote for the impeachment of President Richard M. Nixon.

Earlier in his career, he served ten years in the Wisconsin State Assembly and was the 66th speaker of the Wisconsin State Assembly. His final public office was on the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board, where he served until its dissolution in 2015.
