[Milwaukee, WI] – Last night, Milwaukee was struck by yet another horrific act of violence as a sheriff’s deputy was shot following a traffic stop. Tragically, this is only the most recent event in a two-year crime spike, as the city once again set a record for homicides in 2021. Meanwhile, Tony Evers is missing in action. After his performative press conference on violence prevention in Milwaukee last October that was interrupted by gunfire, Evers has been mum on rising crime while Wisconsin communities continue to suffer. “Throwing arbitrary dollar amounts on a press release doesn’t constitute a public safety strategy,” said Republican Party of Wisconsin Communications

(Madison, WI). State Representative William Penterman (R – Columbus) released the following statement regarding the passage of Assembly Bill 837, a bill to help recruit and retain law enforcement officers. “Wisconsin currently has the lowest number of law enforcement officers in a decade. Nationwide, retirements are up by 45 percent and resignations are up by 18 percent. Local governments are having a hard time filling law enforcement positions,” said Rep. Penterman.

JAN. 26, 2022 – Kevontay Deans isn’t sure where he’d be if it wasn’t for Operation Fresh Start – but it probably wouldn’t be on a crew learning construction skills as they build a home in Sun Prairie. “It’s helped me a lot,” Deans, 19, of Madison said. “I like seeing houses come together. It’s interesting to me.” Deans, who hopes to be chosen for a carpentry apprenticeship, is one of the first participants in Operation Fresh Start’s Build Academy. The academy aims

MADISON, Wis. – After strong leadership from President Biden and Governor Evers to get Wisconsinites vaccinated against COVID-19, Democrats are continuing to implement overwhelmingly popular strategies to keep the Badger State safe.   Over the past month, Governor Evers distributed over 5.4 million free, high-quality masks to more than 130 different locations across the state – this includes 3.35 million masks distributed in one week from the state stockpile.   As a former educator, Gov. Evers knows that kids learn best when they’re in the classroom — that’s why he’s prioritized distributing masks to school districts across the state, and

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, Congressman Glenn Grothman (WI-06) highlighted his support for fast-acting vitamin D as a potential game-changer in the fight against COVID-19. As vitamin D is scientifically proven to benefit the immune system, the fast-acting form of this over-the-counter supplement has potential to help alleviate the ill-effects of COVID-19 by enabling consumers to reach optimum vitamin D levels within days, rather than months. For example, the fast-acting vitamin D supplement Calcifediol enables consumers to reach and maintain sufficient vitamin D levels three times faster compared to regular vitamin D. “Calcifediol is a safe, low-cost supplement that helps support a healthier future,” said Grothman. “Fast-acting
