Terri McCormick

Terri McCormick (born October 24, 1956) is a former Wisconsin State Representative.

McCormick was born in Waupun, Wisconsin on October 24, 1956.[1][2] She began college at the two-year University of Wisconsin–Fond du Lac[3] then attended the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh, where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in political science.[3] She obtained a master's degree in administrative leadership from Marian University in Fond du Lac. She also did post graduate work at the University of Windsor.[2]

After graduating she started working on education issues, and was involved with the Wisconsin Charter School Association.[4]

McCormick was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2000 and represented the 56th district in the northeastern part of the state until 2007.[5] She was honored in 2003 by the Wisconsin Office of the Public Defender,[6] and in 2004 by the Wisconsin Bar Association, for her efforts to expand eligibility for public defender representation.[7]

She unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination in Wisconsin's 8th congressional District in 2006, losing to John Gard.[8] McCormick again failed to secure the Republican nomination in 2010, garnering 18% of the vote and losing to both Roger Roth (32%) and the primary winner, Reid Ribble (48%).[9] She then opened a consulting firm.[3]
