Quinn stated that voters deserve to have a senator that shares their northern Wisconsin values. “Having been born and raised in northern WI, I have come to know our shared conservative values of hard work, self-reliance, and good old-fashion common sense. During my previous service in the assembly, I devoted my time to working on solutions to improve our schools, roads, and rural communities while making sure the state lived within its means. I was proud to

According to the last Census, there are approximately 4,400 individuals in Washington County who identify as Hispanic or Latino.   “From listening to the business owners, I wasn’t surprised to learn that the primary barrier to keeping their businesses profitable is employee shortages,” said County Executive Josh Schoemann.   Schoemann

[Madison, WI] – Today, Tony Evers dipped into his taxpayer-funded re-election slush fund, pretending to care about public safety by vaguely designating ARPA funds in support of “violence prevention.” After a year of historic crime, with Milwaukee and Madison nearly topping the nation in homicides and Josh Kaul’s botched DOJ crime lab failing in key areas, Evers’ strategy to throw federal money at the problem is too little, too late. Just this week, law enforcement warned of the drastic impact that Milwaukee’s planned officer cuts will have on public safety. As far-left liberals continue to vilify law enforcement and Evers’ own press conference was interrupted by a drive-by shooting, police departments are

The announcement this morning by Governor Tony Evers that the state will allocate $45 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding for violence prevention and to help victims of crime is much-needed good news for Milwaukee. The Governor’s announcement included the intent to send $8 million of the $45 million to the City of Milwaukee’s Office of Violence Prevention (OVP). We extend our sincere thanks to Governor Evers for this badly-needed funding. We are sponsoring a Common Council ARPA proposal to greatly bolster violence prevention in the city via OVP that would direct $16.8 million for a multi-pronged effort,

MADISON, Wis. — Last week, Gov. Tony Evers visited with small business owners in Fond du Lac while Secretary of Administration Joel Brennan heard from business owners across the state on how Wisconsin’s Badger Bounceback effort has been benefiting local communities. Gov. Evers has been committed to listening to the science throughout the pandemic while providing nearly $1 billion in support to more than 53,000 business owners. Earlier this year, Gov.
