OSHKOSH – The Johnson campaign released the following statement regarding the results from the new Marquette Law poll: “This campaign has always been about truth versus lies and distortions. The contrast in this race is clear: Ron Johnson is talking about the issues voters care about around the state of Wisconsin while Lt. Gov. Barnes continues to lie and distract from his extreme record of supporting defunding the police, abolishing ICE, and reckless tax-and-spend policies that have driven us into a recession and made us less safe,” said Ben Voelkel, Senior Advisor for the Ron Johnson campaign.

MADISON, Wis. — According to WSAW, Wisconsin Family Action has reaffirmed their belief that the archaic 1849 abortion ban doesn’t go far enough, stating “we don’t think the life of the mother is a necessary exception.” Tim Michels has also opposed such an exception, stating that a scenario in which abortion is required to save the life of the mother is “a hypothetical which just doesn’t exist.” Meanwhile the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists – the expert on this issue, states “’without question, abortion can be medically necessary.’” Tim Michels previously told WISN that he does not support exceptions for rape or incest, and that his position is an

MADISON, Wis. — Yesterday, Tim Michels released an ad filled with false claims about Gov. Evers’ response to unrest in Kenosha in 2020. Michels continues to resort to spreading disinformation in an effort to scare voters and divide our state.  Fact Check: Michels’ ad repeats false claims about Gov. Evers’ response to Kenosha, including that he did not send help “for days.” Gov. Evers took immediate action to deploy law enforcement and the Wisconsin National Guard and fulfilled every local request to support Kenosha during the unrest. These claims have already been called “false” by Politifact, which wrote, “no, Wisconsin Gov. Evers

Tony Evers, together with Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) Secretary Randy Romanski, today announced 91 meat processors have been selected to receive a total of $10 million through the governor’s Meat and Poultry Supply Chain Resiliency Grants. Gov.

WEST ALLIS, Wisc. – Following the release of the October 12 Marquette Poll, which shows growing support for Tim Michels and an advantage with independent voters, the Michels Campaign released the following statement from Campaign Manager Patrick McNulty: “The more people are reminded of Tony Evers’ failures, the more they coalesce around Tim Michels. Tony Evers has released brutal murderers on our streets, shut down Main Street businesses, and crippled our education system. We look forward to carrying this momentum into Election Day.” About Tim Michels: Tim Michels is a conservative businessman and veteran running for Governor of Wisconsin. Tim is

Republican candidate for governor Tim Michels has repeatedly cast doubt on election outcomes in Wisconsin, choosing to pander to the ultra-MAGA base and Donald Trump instead of protecting democracy and Wisconsinites’ right to vote. When it comes to protecting the right to vote in Wisconsin, Michels cannot be trusted to do the right thing. He has said that illegally decertifying the 2020 presidential election will be “on the table” if he becomes governor, has refused to commit to accepting the results of his own election, and wouldn’t say whether he would certify the 2024 election – something the governor is required to do by

This morning, Protect Our Care’s Care Force One arrived in Milwaukee to highlight how the Inflation Reduction Act’s measures will lower premiums and prescription drug costs for millions of Americans.
