Rep. Katrina Shankland, D-Stevens Point, knocked 3rd CD primary rival Rebecca Cooke after a group backing Cooke’s campaign started running an ad claiming Shankland is “working for Republicans, not you.”

Cooke’s campaign fired back that Shankland needs to answer for her record on health care as attacks between the candidates escalated two weeks out from the Aug. 13 primary, which will decide who faces off against incumbent U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Prairie du Chien, in November.

The state Elections Commission in a cost-saving move unanimously agreed to seek a waiver from the Electronic Registration Information Center to avoid sending a required mailer to eligible voters who are not registered.

A Door County judge has rejected a challenge to the absentee envelopes the state Elections Commission approved a year ago.

“What I was hearing from is not some elite or donor class,” Baldwin said on WISN’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics. “Every rally I went to, the 4th of July parades that I attended in northern Wisconsin, just average people were coming up, and they so respect the work that Joe Biden has done. But they were conveying to me and asking me to convey to the president that they appreciate his work, and they asked him to step aside.”

Baldwin said she was “deeply disappointed” Netanyahu didn’t use his time to lay out a plan to end the war in Gaza, bring home hostages, boost humanitarian assistance into Gaza and move toward a two-state solution. Meanwhile, Wisconsin Republicans praised Netanyahu and blasted Vice President Kamala Harris, the likely Dem presidential nominee, for failing to attend his speech.
