Daniel Kelly, the losing candidate in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, gave a remarkably bitter concession speech Tuesday night that could serve as an epitaph for misogynist minority rule in Wisconsin.
After it became clear Tuesday night that Janet Protasiewicz would defeat him by a wide margin, he had nothing but bad things to say about his opponent.
The staggering amount of record-breaking money in the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court race shows the crying need for fundamental campaign finance reform.
Dan Kelly was always swimming upstream. A commanding two-thirds of Wisconsin voters supported Roe v Wade, overturned last year by the U.S. Supreme Court in its Dobbs v Jackson Health decision.
The legislature’s budget-writing Joint Committee on Finance continues to do our work on the next state budget. We recently invited four state agencies to brief our committee and started a series of four public hearings around the state.
Children should have every opportunity to learn and grow in a safe space, especially during the first three years of their life.
$144 million settlement what America needs to face.
Being poor isn’t a choice and isn’t a character flaw. It’s the natural byproduct of a society that turns a blind eye to how the most vulnerable among us are mercilessly exploited.
After nearly a decade of dominance that culminated in a Republican winning Wisconsin in a presidential race for the first time in 32 years in 2016, conservatives have won just four of 14 statewide races (and one was unopposed). How did the right go so wrong?
The trouncing that Daniel Kelly received at the hands of Justice-Elect Janet Protaseiwicz was a triumph for progressive forces in Wisconsin and a final repudiation of Scott Walker’s counter-revolution.
On top of the very beatable Tony Evers only five months ago, Wisconsin Republicans are on the schneid.
Beyond the election results, who were the other people, groups and trends that won or lost?
Liberal Janet Protasiewicz beat her grouchy conservative opponent by 11 points after campaigning on abortion access and fairer voting maps.
Please join me in urging the passage of the All Copays Count legislation here in the Badger State, and in asking our members of Congress to support the HELP Act this year.
Conservative opponent Daniel Kelly is bitter in defeat.
Janet Protasiewicz’s decisive victory in the race for state Supreme Court could bring about the political reset Wisconsin desperately needs.
The brittle, harsh, and truly troubling display from Kelly alerted the television audience that Midwestern niceness is not a trait equally shared.
If Republicans like LaMahieu were honest they’d admit that the reason they want the governor to call a new election to fill La Follette’s post is — if they can get a Republican elected — they want to return election oversight to the office.
Wildlife is not the province of an increasingly small proportion of consumptive users, but the WCC enshrines that group’s voice and desires at the expense of the broader public.
There is a precedent in Wisconsin for technical colleges that offer both occupational education and baccalaureate credits. Three of the five dual-track technical colleges in Wisconsin have branded themselves as Madison College, Nicolet College out of Rhinelander and Western College out of La Crosse. They serve surrounding counties.
