What is missing from these ads is the harsh reality that Evers hasn’t really done anything in the four years since he was elected governor. He touts a historic $2.4 billion tax cut but fails to mention that tax cut was engineered by Republicans in the state budget. His original budget recommendation actually included more than a billion dollars in tax increases. He touts that Wisconsin schools are ranked 8th in the nation. But

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement in response to President Biden’s student loan giveaway: “President Biden’s decision to cancel student loan debt is not only against the law but egregiously unfair to Americans who paid back their loans or pursued careers that don’t require a four-year degree. This action is particularly insulting to Wisconsinites who, per borrower, have among the lowest amount of student loan debt in the country, meaning our tax dollars will pay off the student loans of people in other states disproportionately. The price of a college degree has become unattainable for

LA CROSSE — Today, Brad Pfaff for Congress released a new poll that shows when Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District voters learn about Derrick Van Orden’s record, they flock to State Senator Brad Pfaff. “Brad has spent his entire career using western Wisconsin values to fight for working families, and this poll shows that Wisconsin voters are ready to reject radical Derrick in November,” said Kevin Winslow, spokesperson for the Brad Pfaff for Congress campaign. “Working Wisconsinites need a strong voice at the policymaking table, not an insurrectionist on probation with a record of harassment. Brad has never been afraid to

MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking public comment on a draft environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed issuance of a grant award to the Brill Area Sportsmen`s Club for a 100/200-yard rifle range project in Rice Lake, Barron County, Wisconsin. The project will clear about one acre of forested area, construct a berm in the newly cleared space, and increase the height of an existing berm by four feet. These berm adjustments will increase safety between the two firing lanes on either side. The DNR is dedicated to promoting hunter safety, hunting and shooting sports.

“Back to school is an exciting time for many students, but also an anxious time,” said Linda Hall, Director of the Wisconsin Office of Children’s Health (OCMH). “We can all help lessen student anxiety and prepare youth for the demands of the school year.” While the last two school years have been difficult, Hall points to a variety of initiatives and resources that are available to help schools and families put positive mental health practices into place. “Recently, there’s been a lot of attention paid, and investments made in, children’s mental health – and rightfully so”, said Hall. “I’m energized
