After the hearing, Gallagher spoke with reporters about the hearing and the end of his time in Congress.
This is more just me wanting to prioritize being with my family," he said at the gaggle. "I signed up for the death threats and the late-night swatting, but they did not. And for a young family, I would say this job is really hard.
WLUK reached out to Gallagher's office about his comments on death threats and late-night swatting calls. It is still unclear if any specific incident led to his early resignation.
However, WLUK did confirm through the Brown County Sheriff's Office -- which patrols Allouez, where Gallagher lives -- a case number was assigned late last year to a swatting incident related to the congressman.
"Rep. Mike Gallagher"
Whew! For a minute there I was worried someone was going to off "Sledge-O-Matic" Gallagher.
Also, I just looked him up and Wikipedia says he died in 2022. But I still feel better knowing his life isn't in jeopardy.
