Wisconsin Senate second termOn November 2, 2010, Cullen was again elected to represent the 15th district, succeeding Judy Robson.[5][6] In September 2013, Cullen announced he would be retiring from the state senate.[7] One of the factors he cited as a reason for his retirement was the increased partisanship within the legislature.[8] 2011 Wisconsin protests{{See also|2011 Wisconsin protests}}During the protests in Wisconsin, Cullen, along with the 13 other Democratic State Senators, fled the state to deny the State Senate a quorum on Governor Scott Walker's controversial "Budget Repair" legislation. Walker earlier referred to Cullen as "the only reasonable one" of the Wisconsin Democrats during the protests.[9] Governor's race in 2012Cullen had initially announced that if the recall petition drive against Scott Walker was successful, he would run for the Democratic primary election to oppose Walker. Cullen later withdrew, stating that he was unable to find sufficient funding to compete with other Democrats "who are far better known than I am, have access to financial resources above what I can raise, and have better statewide networks".[10] Governor's race in 2018Cullen indicated that he would be ready to announce a campaign to unseat Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker sometime in April 2017.[11] However, on March 29, he announced that he would not run, citing an inability to gain the necessary funds to run an effective campaign.[12] References1. ^'Wisconsin Blue Book-1979-1980,' biography of Timothy Cullen, p. 50 2. ^Janesville Board of Education website 3. ^Theobald, H.
