The bill honors Sarah Debbink Langenkamp, a mother, wife, and American diplomat raised in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, who was killed while riding her bike in the summer of 2022. “Regardless of how you are traveling, everyone should feel safe on the roads.

https://www.wispolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/240327GOPAddress.mp3 Hi Everyone! I’m State Senator Van Wanggaard, representing the 21st District in Southeastern Wisconsin. There are two important statewide referendums on this April’s ballot to limit outside influence in the running of our elections. As you may remember, in 2020 out-of-state billionaires provided over 8 million dollars to 5 Wisconsin cities to quote help them promote safe and reliable voting. In reality, these were government-run voter turnout campaigns financed by California and New York activists. The city of Green Bay actually allowed a former Democratic Party operative to administer the election from their clerk’s office. Racine, my hometown, used

Biden for President Wisconsin Communications Director Brianna Johnson issued the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s oral arguments on medication abortion: “Donald Trump and his MAGA allies are continuing their relentless mission to turn the clock back on women’s rights and ban abortion nationwide.

I disagree with Congressman Gallagher’s decision to leave before the end of his term. We deserve representation, and the country needs now, more than ever, strong conservative leadership to stop the disastrous Biden administration.
