Throughout this campaign I have worked to present an optimistic message for how we can improve our freedom and safety. I’ve talked about how we need to rise above politics as usual, protect the constitution and the rule of law, and help people retain greater power over their daily lives. So many people appreciated that message, and I truly appreciate their support. The last few weeks have shown me that politics is even more disgusting than I expected. Having never run for political office before, I did not fully anticipate how disgusting it would get so quickly. You can be

MADISON, Wis. — Rebecca Kleefisch’s rocky campaign for governor hit another bump today as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel exposed her failure to come up with a plan to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than encourage folks to get vaccinated or wear a mask, Kleefisch offered up a garbled laundry list of things she wouldn’t do. Kleefisch even accused Gov. Tony Evers of not following the state’s emergency response plan, but state officials debunked that lie and confirmed that Gov. Evers has used the plan as a guide. Kleefisch has been reckless with the pandemic since last year — she’s supported bogus

The Wisconsin GOP gubernatorial primary is shaping up to be an expensive and divisive race after well-known Republican donors Liz and Richard Uihlein recently threw their support behind likely Republican candidate Kevin Nicholson. The Racine Journal-Times warns that Nicholson has been increasing his name recognition for over a year ahead of the election, and the Uihleins’ multibillionaire influence “can’t be understated.” The New York Times dubbed the Uihleins as “The Most Powerful Conservative Couple You’ve Never Heard Of” and said the couple is set on pushing the GOP “further to the right” with the candidates they support. In 2018, the couple backed Nicholson

Derrick Van Orden better hope that he didn’t blow his entire campaign budget on the January 6th insurrection. As a new Democratic challenger enters the WI-03 field, Big Liar and even bigger loser Van Orden is going to need every penny. Then again, it won’t matter: even all the money in the world could not change the fact that Derrick Van Orden is completely out of touch with the voters of Wisconsin’s 3rd District. Since being rejected at the ballot box in 2020, Van Orden has only continued to debase himself by making all the wrong kinds of headlines. The

MADISON, Wis. —  Today, AFT-Wisconsin President Kim Kohlhaas and University of Wisconsin students responded to Rebecca Kleefisch’s record of cutting funds for college and technical education. As lieutenant governor, Kleefisch refused to support Wisconsin public schools. She proudly stood by her administration’s devastating budgets, including slashing $250 million from the UW System and $71.6 million from Wisconsin’s technical college system – 30 percent of their funding.

As Scott Walker’s lieutenant governor, she supported a

WISCONSIN — As Democrats in Congress build a budget agreement that includes historic provisions to improve access to health care — including closing the Medicaid coverage gap — new fact-sheets from Planned Parenthood Federation of America are highlighting how these efforts would lower costs and expand access to health care in Wisconsin. Closing the coverage gap is the single most important thing Congress can do to address the inequities laid bare by the pandemic. If Congress were to close the Medicaid coverage gap, 176,000 Wisconsinites would gain health coverage, and the state’s uninsured rate would decrease by 16%. Medicaid expansion
