He says he’s the “pro-education” governor. Right. Everything in his record screams “pro-education.”

To the parents whose kids have been able to escape low-performing public schools in order to help their children, Walker is absolutely an “education governor.” Even by the metric most favored by Walker’s competitors — state spending — he comes out ahead. Wisconsin now spends nearly $600 million more per year on public K-12 education than it did in Gov. Jim Doyle’s last year in office.

Wisconsin does both better and worse than neighboring states.

A critical measure of a political ads’ impact is whether it gets noticed.

Leah Vukmir has demonstrated in this opening TV/Internet spot the powerful message—in tone and content—that is essential to beating Tammy Baldwin.

There is certainly more work to be done, but tax reform has opened the door to new possibilities and opportunities for families. It has improved people’s lives. All of this, in just six months.

Edge Messaging’s Brian Fraley and Dan Deibert discuss the latest Marquette University Law School Poll.

In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents after the U.S. Supreme Court sent a Wisconsin gerrymandering case back to a lower court.

Wisconsin’s gerrymander still lives after the U.S. Supreme Court sent a case challenging state Assembly maps back to a lower court last Monday.

Faced with what it acknowledged was a terrible flaw in constitutional fairness, the U.S. Supreme Court on June 18 nevertheless kicked to the future any finality on two gerrymander cases.

What’s important to recognize is that the children were not collateral damage of Trump’s policy: They were the entire point. Removing them from their parents was designed to be shocking because their trauma was intended as a deterrent.

The situation is the result of decades of both Democrat and Republican attitudes toward immigration. The current crisis at the border is the natural progression of a long-fraught approach that’s largely been fueled by misinformation, distrust and racism.

The latest is Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ announcement that the Trump administration will no longer defend provisions of the Affordable Care Act that protect consumers with pre-existing medical conditions.
