Michels embraces divisive and radical agenda, acknowledges he doesn’t agree with most Wisconsinites on key issues MADISON, Wis. — At a campaign event this week, Tim Michels underscored how divisive and radical he would be as governor and also acknowledged how deeply unpopular his agenda would be with Wisconsinites. He said: “So we all know we have a Republican legislature, we have a Republican assembly, Republican State Senate, and when we get a conservative governor we can make generational change here in Wisconsin. I am willing to be the lightning rod that is needed. That’s what leaders do. There are gonna be a

A new TV ad launched by Johnson’s D.C. allies is falsely attacking Lt. Governor Barnes, candidate for U.S. Senate, for his record of working to keep all Wisconsin communities safe. Lt. Governor Barnes has prioritized policies and reforms that would make Wisconsin safer and prevent tragedies like the Waukesha parade. Meanwhile, Ron Johnson has voted against funding for law enforcement as he supports outsourcing good-paying jobs and putting Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block. “Once again Ron Johnson’s allies are lying to distract from his disastrous record of undermining public safety and selling out working people,” said Maddy McDaniel,

OSHKOSH  – The Barnes campaign released a new ad of Lt. Gov. Barnes unpacking groceries onto a kitchen counter while he attempts to defend his failed policies. The campaign must have spent a pretty penny at the grocery store to do his new ad, as whole milk (+11.78%), a loaf of bread (+20.57%), romaine lettuce (+11.67%), deli meat (+21.53%), white (+35.06%) and yellow (+50.79%) onions, and avocados (+40.19%) have all seen skyrocketing price increases due to record inflation from the failed Democrat policies and out-of-control spending that he supports. Lt. Gov. Barnes supports the radical policies that have crippled the

MADISON, Wis. – The emergency room is no place to spend the final holiday weekend of the summer. Millions of people will be traveling on Labor Day weekend by car across the United States, according to a recent survey by AAA. About 32% of the country’s population will travel this weekend, and 82% of them will do so by motor vehicle. That is a lot of opportunity for something to go wrong on the road, according to Dr. Hee Soo Jung, trauma surgeon, UW Health, and associate professor of surgery, UW School of Medicine and Public Health. “Roads are expected

Washington, D.C. – Today, the NRSC launched a new ad in Wisconsin titled ‘Waukesha.’ This ad shows what happens when criminals are released onto the streets.

He’s not just a Democrat, but a dangerous Democrat. Watch here.

MADISON, Wis. — Following the Journal Sentinel’s report of donations from Tim Michels’ family foundation to extreme anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion groups, the candidate for governor has taken a cue from the disgraced former President by threatening violence against the media instead of explaining his radical beliefs. On the Vicki McKenna Show yesterday, Michels says: “I believe people should just, just be ready to get out on the streets with pitchforks and torches with how low the liberal media has become. […] People need to decide, you know, am I going to put up with this? Am I going to tolerate

MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced that the fall 2022 sharp-tailed grouse hunting season remains closed due to spring survey results and concerns over the long-term viability of the sharp-tailed grouse population. Permits and applications will not be available or accepted this year.
