Reflecting on my one year in office, I am proud of what we’ve accomplished.

The theme of this year’s Women and Gender Studies Consortium conference is, “Honoring Our Past, Securing Our Future: Resilience and Reclamation in Higher Education.” There will be three days of transformative presentations, useful information, woman-centered education and a celebration of women everywhere.

Without immigration and migrant workers the U.S. economy’s new monthly employment numbers would be in the range of 60,000 to 100,000, instead of 300,000 new jobs reported in March.

From work on weather satellites by Verner Soumi and Robert Parent in the 1950s to OAO-2, Hubble and James Webb, UW-Madison scientists have helped engineer that increasingly deeper look into space.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, offer their take on why so many state lawmakers are retiring their positions amid new legislative district maps. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.

Just two of 132 members come from working class backgrounds, report finds.

With the upcoming elections this year, I respectfully request that you look at the candidates on your ballot and ask the simple question; did they vote yes or no to fund Child Care Counts? A “no” means they do not value early childhood education and the development of children at their most critical stage.

Evers’ veto of SB 517 is a missed opportunity to support law enforcement. It is also a missed opportunity to prevent political harassment of any citizen that the justice system has determined is not guilty of a crime.

Madison isn’t two cities. It’s one wonderful, complicated, diverse city where more than 268,000 people who come from all walks of life experience a whole array of challenges and opportunities and hold a very wide variety of opinions.

While Biden faced organized opposition in the Democratic primary, Trump did not. Yet, Biden got more votes and a higher percentage of the total.

The appeals court reduced the size of the bond that Trump had to provide to the court in the phony New York property valuation case.

Fiscal conservatives are winning in — of all places — the state of Washington.

The MPS referendum nailbiter, the “uninstructed” impact, anti-Trump votes, Milwaukee leadership on the rise, a warning sign in Wausau, and more.

Former Republican Gov. Scott McCallum and Milwaukee-based journalist David Haynes are leading an effort to lower the temperature of today’s at-your-throat politics.

Evers vetoed a measure that could have allowed a school district to hire someone for the superintendent’s position, even if that person did not have a state license for the job.

Sports betting has become so pervasive that the owners of my favorite Major League Baseball team have built a “sports book” facility attached to the right field corner of Wrigley Field.

But protest votes hint at challenges for both in November.

Wisconsin voters spoke loudly and clearly Tuesday, striking a blow for democracy by forever banishing private money from election administration.

Yesterday’s elections weren’t going to be earth-shattering, but the results were still encouraging.

Lesson number-one for Biden, as regards the November race in Wisconsin, is simple: keep running against Trump. It works.
