WASHINGTON— On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, joined U.S. Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) in a resolution honoring Shinzo Abe, the former Prime Minister of Japan, who was assassinated at a political rally earlier this month. This resolution was unanimously approved by the Senate.   The resolution highlights how “the United States lost a great friend and ally with the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whose leadership laid a lasting foundation for the United States and Japan to partner for decades to come in promoting freedom, prosperity, and security around the

Tim Michels is a very successful businessman running for Governor of the Great State of Wisconsin.   During my Administration, Tim served on my infrastructure task force, and helped us plan and start building the Keystone XL Pipeline before Joe Biden launched his assault on American Energy production.   The current Governor, Tony Evers, has been an abject failure for the people of Wisconsin, from his abysmal handling of the China Virus, where his lockdowns were unprecedented, to rampant crime across the State.   Wisconsin needs a Governor who will Stop Inflation, Uphold the Rule of Law, strengthen our Borders

MADISON, Wis. — In case you missed it, Governor Tony Evers visited communities across the state this week to fill potholes, meet with local leaders, and fix the damn roads. Under the previous administration, Wisconsin’s roads and bridges were underfunded and deprioritized. From potholes on the highway to crumbling bridges, our roads have put drivers at risk, jeopardized public safety, and hurt our economic growth. Since taking office, Gov. Evers has fixed nearly 5,000 miles of road and nearly 1,500 bridges — and if you laid out those miles repaired end-to-end, you could drive from Oconomowoc to Miami and back.

MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced the city of Evansville is an applicant for funding through the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program (SDWLP) to improve its public drinking water system. The project includes the replacement of lead service lines throughout the city of Evansville. Activities related to this project are minor actions under Chapter NR 150, Wis. Admin. Code, for which no environmental analysis is required; however, following the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program federal requirement 40 C.F.R. §35.3580, an environmental review must be conducted before funding this project. The Safe Drinking Water Loan Program

Tim Michels and Rebecca Kleefisch will take their mudslinging and extremist platforms to the big stage this Sunday night in a debate that’s sure to add fuel to the Wisconsin GOP’s dumpster fire of a primary. Michels and Kleefisch have brutally attacked each other as they jockey for the support of a deeply divided GOP base. Last week, Kleefisch slammed Michels for his company’s “liberal positions,” and she’s running ads accusing Michels of being “out for himself.” Trump-endorsed Michels fired back, saying it’s “sad” Kleefisch decided to go negative. “When politicians are shocked to find themselves losing,” he added, “they go negative out of desperation.”  But Michels and

Today, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin (PPAWI) announced its second round of legislative endorsements, consisting of a selection of incumbents trusted to utilize their platforms and voices to push for the protection of reproductive rights for all Wisconsinites. Now more than ever, legislative action in Wisconsin is vital. With the result of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn. Roe v. Wade, the threat of enforcement of Wisconsin’s criminal abortion ban has forced Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin and other providers to suspend abortion services and created fear in the medical community. Patients are now being referred to neighboring states and confusion

CHICAGO, July 25, 2022 – S&C Electric Company, a leading innovator of advanced electrical grid equipment, opened its doors to a 55,000-square-foot manufacturing expansion of its facility in Franklin, Wis. Having broken ground on the building in May 2021, the new space was built adjacent to S&C’s existing 80,000-square-foot manufacturing hub in Franklin and will help to create more than 50 new skilled jobs, adding to the 150 existing team members already in S&C’s Franklin location. Attending the event were Wisconsin State Senator Julian Bradley as well as Franklin Mayor Steve Olson, who showed his gratitude to S&C for bringing more jobs

Salon: “Birth control access could be next for SCOTUS to roll back: ‘There’s no doubt Griswold is at risk’” MADISON – With the aftershocks of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade still fresh in the minds of millions of women, new threats to reproductive rights are already emerging: states are working to restrict contraception access, and radicals on the Supreme Court have called for the court to issue new rulings on critical court cases. In the wake of these threats, State Treasurer and candidate for U.S. Senate Sarah Godlewski today called on President Biden to sign executive orders directing the federal government to strengthen legal protections for

GREEN BAY, WI– Today, Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) was recognized by the Great Lakes Maritime Task Force (GLMTF) as their 2022 Legislator of the Year for his unwavering commitment to protect and advance the Great Lakes maritime supply chain. “The importance of the Great Lakes cannot be overstated. Here in Northeast Wisconsin, these lakes are crucial to not just our economy, but to our way of life, and it’s critical we do everything we can to preserve these national treasures for generations to come,” said Rep. Gallagher. “It’s an honor to be named the 2022 Legislator of the Year by the Great Lakes

Tool boxes, cornhole games and small benches. Those were some of the first assignments for nine Dept. of Corrections students taking part in Madison College’s Carpentry Techniques Academy. As their skills improved during the course’s 18 weeks, they moved on to bigger projects like garden sheds – some with solar panels. Now this special class from the Thompson and Oregon Correctional Centers is scheduled to graduate at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, July 26, at the college’s Commercial Ave. campus (2125 Commercial Ave.) “Construction employment has seen strong growth in Wisconsin and demand for skilled carpenters is expected to continue,” said Amy Pechacek, secretary-designee of

[Madison, WI] – Former DPI Secretary Tony Evers should know better than to take credit for someone else’s work. Nonetheless, Evers continues to plagiarize throughout his re-election bid – claiming Republicans’ accomplishments as his own and misleading the public about his failed education record. As the MacIver Institute points out, Evers’ new education-focused ad is misleading at best. While Evers touts Wisconsin’s rise on the US News’ schools ranking, “the current ranking uses data largely from the years when Scott Walker was governor, and the lower 2018 ranking was after nearly a decade of Evers’ leadership as DPI Superintendent.” Meanwhile, according
