Shannon M. Zimmerman (born March 15, 1972) is an American Republican politician and businessman from River Falls, Wisconsin.
[2] In 1996, after attending the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, Zimmerman founded Sajan Inc., a local language translation company, and served as its CEO.
[3] Due to the 2007–2008 financial crisis, MathStar, a Minnesota-based semi-conductor manufacturer, had gone into sharp decline, being delisted from the Nasdaq in early 2008.
[5] In 2012, Zimmerman and his family founded Belle Vinez Vineyard and Winery, expanding it to include a retail section in 2015.
[11] Eventually, the complaint was rejected by the WEC after a 4-2 vote, saying there was "no reasonable suspicion" that Zimmerman had violated the law.
[12] In 2024 Wisconsin saw a significant redrawing of the state legislative maps which undid the Republican gerrymander that had been created back in 2011.
