Washington, D.C. – Another day, another goose egg for Mandela Barnes on active law enforcement endorsements. Ouch. This time, his hometown’s police association – the Milwaukee Police Association – decided to endorse Ron Johnson over dangerous Democrat Mandela Barnes. This comes on the heels of Barnes lying about one of his law enforcement endorsements and having to remove another, leaving him with ZERO active law enforcement officer endorsements.  In a letter written to Sen. Johnson, Milwaukee Police Association President Andrew Wagner said, “During these increasingly trying times, the over 1,400 men and women of the Milwaukee Police Association appreciate leaders like you who are willing to stand and be

PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, WI – Brad Pfaff has once again firmly planting himself in the Defund the Police Camp by campaigning with Mandela Barnes tonight, the same candidate who was forced to admit to lying about getting the endorsement from multiple law enforcement officers in Wisconsin, including one of our officers in La Crosse. Like Barnes, Brad Pfaff has virtually no support from active police officers as our police understand that Pfaff and Barnes will throw them under the bus for political purposes just like they did during the Kenosha riots. On the other hand, Derrick Van Orden has the bipartisan endorsement of

MADISON, Wis. — Ron Johnson has doubled down on his self-serving and out-of-touch positions – and Wisconsinites are rejecting him for it. Recent polling found that 51% of Wisconsin voters do not think that Johnson shares their values. From Johnson’s threats to cut Social Security and Medicare, cheering on the Supreme Court’s decision to take away Wisconsintes’ reproductive freedom, changing the 2017 tax bill in a way that enriched himself and his biggest donors, and vowing to raise health care costs if the GOP takes back the Senate, Wisconsinites know that Johnson does not represent their values.  AP News: Wisconsin’s Johnson embraces controversy in reelection bid Key Points:

APPLETON, Wis. – As we approach fall and winter months, health care leaders are urging community members to protect themselves – and loved ones – by staying up-to-date on vaccinations. Choosing to receive an annual influenza vaccine and a COVID-19 vaccine or booster can help protect our communities. “The last two years have shown us the important role immunizations play in helping protect one another,” said Dr. Mark Cockley, ThedaCare Chief Clinical Officer. “Immunizations, particularly for influenza and COVID-19, can greatly decrease the risk of becoming seriously ill or passing an infection to a loved one.” The Centers for Disease
