Assembly Majority Leader Tyler August blasted Rep. Janel Brandtjen as a grifter for repeatedly trying to introduce a resolution to impeach Wisconsin Election Administrator Meagan Wolfe during Tuesday’s floor session.
The petition, filed yesterday, argued a foundation of the lines now in place was the court’s 2021 decision to take a “least change approach” to the maps that Republican lawmakers drew a decade earlier. Now that the new liberal majority has thrown out that standard, the brief argues, there’s no justification to keep in place congressional lines based upon the same principle.
Gov. Tony Evers, who hasn’t said whether he will seek a third term in 2026, raised money at a slower clip last year than he did over the same period four years earlier.
One would explicitly lay out in state law what information must be included on an absentee ballot envelope from the voter and the witness for it to be counted. Another would require local officials to allow observers to be closer to the activities at a polling site than now allowed.
Ahead of Monday night’s Iowa Caucuses, Donald Trump Jr. called former House Speaker Paul Ryan “a RINO that the America First movement despises” as he worked to fire up former President Donald Trump’s base and push them to caucus tonight.
The remedial maps submitted to the state Supreme Court Friday generally would result in more Dem seats in the Assembly and Senate than the GOP drawn lines used in the 2022 elections.
On this week’s episode of WisconsinEye’s “Rewind,” WisPolitics’s JR Ross and CBS 58’s Emilee Fannon discuss Assembly Republicans’ medical marijuana bill, a new tax cut proposal Senate Republicans are working on, elections bills, the effort to recall Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, the Supreme Court’s legislative redistricting deadline and more.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, talk about Wisconsin’s Republican false electors and how their acknowledgement that Biden won against Trump in 2020 differs from other states. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
A split Wisconsin Supreme Court has rejected a request by GOP lawmakers to reconsider its ruling that threw out Republican-drawn legislative districts and to pause the redistricting suit.

The state Elections Commission is studying whether the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s ruling throwing out GOP-drawn legislative maps bars a recall effort against Assembly Speaker Robin Vos.
Senate majority Leader Devin LeMahieu says he’s not convinced former President Donald Trump is the best pick to widely appeal to GOP voters in Wisconsin.
Those seeking to recall Robin Vos have filed a petition with the state Elections Commission indicating they are targeting the Assembly speaker for “blocking fair elections,” failing to impeach Meagan Wolfe and opposing Donald Trump.
The state Dem Party has named Cassi Fenili, who managed Dem Gov. Tony Evers’ 2022 reelection bid, will serve as executive director.
The liberal group Opportunity Wisconsin has launched two new ads — one on TV targeting U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil of Janesville, and the other a digital spot going after U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden of Prairie du Chien.
Proponents of a bipartisan bill to implement top-five primaries and instant runoff voting in Wisconsin congressional races argued the change would ensure the candidates with the broadest appeal end up in office. Meanwhile, others during Tuesday’s hearing criticized the process as confusing and argued the proposal would prevent all voters’ voices from being heard.
On this week’s episode of WisconsinEye’s “Rewind,” WisPolitics’s JR Ross and CBS 58’s Emilee Fannon discuss a judge’s ruling on absentee ballot witness addresses, Presidential Preference Selection Committee 2024 primary ballot choices, a suit seeking to keep Trump off the Wisconsin ballot, a recent interview with Gov. Tony Evers, the latest in the Supreme Court redistricting suit and more.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss the possible outcomes as the Wisconsin Supreme Court selects new lines for the state’s legislative districts. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
Evers told WisPolitics in an interview this week that he hasn’t yet offered the job to anyone since former Secretary Adam Payne stepped down Nov. 10 after 10 months on the job. He said some candidates who had been considered signaled there was “no way in hell I’m putting myself and my family in that situation.”
Two consultants hired by the state Supreme Court to aid in selecting new legislative maps can be paid up to $100,000 each, including their costs, according to their contracts.
