When the second round of the Wisconsin recalls began, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin told the media that in addition to the recall of Gov. Scott Walker and Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch, it would target three vulnerable, first-term Republican state senators: Pam Galloway, Terry Moulton and Van Wanggaard. The state party and other groups working on the recall decided not to target State Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald because, according to local grassroots activist Lori Compas, they didn't believe it was possible.

However, Lori Compas thought otherwise, so she launched a recall of Fitzgerald on her own. Amazingly, it appears she is on the brink of succeeding.
