Bob Gannon

Bob Gannon is an American politician and businessman.

From West Bend, Wisconsin, Gannon owned Richards Insurance Agency and AmericInn Hotel in West Bend, Wisconsin.[1][2] On November 4, 2014, Gannon was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly as a Republican.[3]

While discussing a shooting that took place at the East Towne Mall during a town hall meeting in 2015, Gannon criticized gun-free zones and called on concealed carry gun owners to "help clean our society of these scumbags". Representative Chris Taylor denounced his comments as a call "for a vigilante uprising".[4]

In early January 2016, Gannon released a press release tying crime in Milwaukee to the city's economy. After receiving criticism over the press release from Peter Barca, Gannon gave Barca the finger on the floor of the Assembly.[5]
