Incumbent state superintendent and challenger have fierce disagreements.
Our country needs to return to its federalist roots and allow states more power to innovate without unfunded mandates and federal regulations that have impeded the path of prosperity for far too long.
American manufacturers and steel workers, like the men and women who work at Neenah Foundry, today help build our nation’s water infrastructure and they deserve a solid commitment from the president and Congress on a strong Buy America standard that rewards their hard work.
It could end badly for the president.
As law professors RonNell Andersen Jones and Sonja R. West recently wrote in The New York Times, while the First Amendment prohibits government censorship and offers protection against lawsuits, journalists have few constitutional rights to government documents and sources, or from being maligned by people in power. Trump, they noted, appears set on blowing up the “mutually dependent” relationships the White House press corps has had with presidential administrations from both parties.
As former classroom instructors, education administrators and school board officials, we know how important it is to invest in the children of this great state. We also appreciate the significant value that comes when educators are empowered with the tools necessary to control costs and make every dollar go further for the sake of students, and when parents have the opportunity to exercise more choices for their kids to access a quality education.
While I no longer serve in the State Legislature, I maintain a strong interest in the public policy discussions taking place in our state capitol. As a citizen and taxpayer, I am pleased to see that policy makers from both sides of the aisle remain focused on moving forward additional measures to combat the opiate addiction epidemic confronting our state.
While there is certainly opposition to various policies, and some of it is quite intense, the efforts by Organizing for Action at town hall meetings to create and feed a fake perception is subversive and reprehensible.

The United States Supreme Court summarily affirmed the decision of a Three Judge Panel of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in Independence Institute v. Federal Election Commission. By affirming the panel in this case, the U.S. Supreme Court seriously undermined the legal rationale that the Wisconsin Supreme Court relied upon when it dismissed the John Doe investigation into possible illegal campaign coordination during the Governor Walker Recall Election.
Madison, WI— News is breaking today that Senator Tammy Baldwin supports the Washington status quo more than any other United States senator whose state voted for President Donald Trump. Highlighted in The Capital Times, Senator Baldwin has aligned herself with the far-left wing of her party, opposing 10 of President Trump’s cabinet nominees and rejecting real reforms in Washington. “After nearly 20 years in Washington, Senator Baldwin is radically out of touch with Wisconsin voters,” said Alec Zimmerman, spokesman for the Republican Party of Wisconsin. “Instead of fighting for hardworking Wisconsin families, Senator Baldwin has aligned herself with the far-left
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 – Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Bob Casey (D-Penn.) introduced legislation Tuesday to lower the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs by allowing Americans to import safe, low-cost medicine from Canada. Reps. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) and Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) introduced a companion bill in the House. Both measures would authorize the secretary of Health and Human Services in two years to allow importation from other advanced countries. In Canada and other major countries, the same medications, manufactured by the same companies, in the same factories are available for a fraction of the price compared
