On this week’s episode of “Rewind,” WisPolitics.com’s JR Ross and Wisconsin Public Radio Capitol Reporter Anya van Wagtendonk discuss the latest Marquette poll, Republicans’ massive fundraising advantage fueled by three billionaire donors, the polling hours case before the Wisconsin Supreme Court and more.
Billionaires Diane Hendricks, Dick Uihlein and Liz Uihlein have combined to donate more than $73 million to GOP campaigns and committees since Jan. 1, fueling the Republican effort to stave off a building blue wave.
Dem 3rd CD candidate Rebecca Cooke has sent GOP rival Derrick Van Orden a cease-and-desist letter demanding he stop posting AI deepfakes of her to make it seem like she made comments she’s never said.
In this week’s DC Wrap: the Senate votes on congressional stock trading and ratepayer protections for data centers, Sen. Baldwin challenges a Trump administration rule on the Affordable Care Act, and more.
Tom Tiffany raised $26.3 million over the past two months for his gubernatorial campaign, thanks largely to transfers from the state GOP after the party received $27.6 million from billionaires Diane Hendricks, Dick Uihlein and Liz Uihlein.
Emergency room nurse and 1st CD Democratic candidate Mitchell Berman discusses running against a longtime incumbent, his support for unions and how he plans to create an economy that “works for everyone.”
The latest Marquette University Law School poll found little change in the governor’s campaign from a month ago with Dem David Crowley and Republican Tom Tiffany in a tight race.
Municipal clerks reported to the Wisconsin Elections Commission over the past 10 months possible nomination paper forgery, election threats and voter impersonation, according to a draft report on suspected election fraud, irregularities or violations.
Tiffany said it was part of an effort to lower costs for consumers that includes appointing members of the PSC who put “affordability and reliability first.”
The Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed to hear a case on the power of county judges to extend polling hours, though it declined to expedite the appeal.
“This is me campaigning for Democrats,” Hong said on WISN 12’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics. “I think that it’s important we are campaigning in as many places as we can, and I think that you’ll see Democrats come together and make sure that we’re earning people’s votes.”
Hong said losing the Dem gubernatorial primary was paintful, but “it’s absolutely vital” to keep the governor’s office in Democratic hands and overcome Republican majorities in the state Senate and Assembly.
On this week’s episode of “Rewind,” WisPolitics.com’s JR Ross and Wisconsin Public Radio Capitol Reporter Anya van Wagtendonk discuss a new group spending millions in Wisconsin against Democratic candidates, the latest in key races on the Nov. 3 ballot, State Superintendent Jill Underly’s State of Education address, bipartisan opposition to proposed Driftless Area power lines, and more.
Two days after Tom Tiffany said he believes in an open, free press that’s able to ask politicians questions, the GOP gubernatorial nominee’s campaign blocked two Journal Sentinel reporters from attending a news conference in Milwaukee.
In her annual State of Education address, State Superintendent Jill Underly called to change the school funding formula and said “financial questions” schools are facing are the result of “deliberate political choices.”
Post-primary spending in western Wisconsin’s 3rd CD has already topped $25 million, blowing past what candidates and groups put into ads over the same period two years ago, according to a check of AdImpact data.
Robert Gebelhoff, a Washington Post editorial writer and opinion contributor, predicted Dem wins “across the board,” while former Dem congressman and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett compared it to his gubernatorial run during the 2010 Republican wave elections.
On this week’s “Capitol Chats,” Sen. Howard Marklein discusses constituent and lawmaker pushback against two proposed transmission lines that would cross his district, his thoughts on school funding issues, and what he thinks should happen with the state’s budget surplus.
GOP gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany and Dem rival David Crowley separately addressed the Wisconsin Counties Association during its meeting in the Wisconsin Dells, along with Dem AG Josh Kaul and his GOP opponent, Fond du Lac County DA Eric Toney.
The tour comes as some have questioned whether Hong would actively campaign for Crowley since appearing at a Dem unity breakfast the day after the Aug. 11 primary.
