McConnell is stepping down after his term ends at the end of the year, but his lengthy unexplained absence became an issue in the race to succeed him between Republican Rep. Andy Barr and former Democratic Rep. Charles Booker.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, review the upcoming races to control the Wisconsin Legislature and the issues that favor each party. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, the Republican candidate for governor of Wisconsin, is skipping multiple debates with his Democratic rival, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley.
As we welcome students from all walks of life, I am reminded that they are not just preparing for Wisconsin’s future. They will help create it. And that gives me great optimism about what lies ahead.
Research keeps on reinforcing the importance of family structure, so why aren’t we using the metric?
Tom Nelson, whose real job is county executive of Outagamie County, has put together what he calls the “people’s history” of the Packers from the heyday of Curly Lambeau to today’s new leadership and all the ups and downs in the many years in between.
Giving government more power will worsen young people’s woes.
Trump’s fingerprints are all over this city like it’s a crime scene. He never gave up a golf game to attend an orchestra, opera, theater or ballet performance at the Kennedy Center honoring the slain president. Not once.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the sister-state relationship between Wisconsin and Taiwan. Since that partnership was established in 1986, the relationship has grown steadily through trade, agriculture, technology, education, investment, and people-to-people exchanges. Four decades later, those ties matter more than ever.

I’ve heard for years from Republicans that Tiffany is a good guy. But now I know it for sure.

September 17, 1787, is the day that 39 of our wise Founding Fathers signed the Constitution. September 17 is Constitution Day. Here is the story.
Could we accomplish now what the Framers, the signers, the fighters, the state’s delegates in the ratification process did 239 years ago in forming our country? I regrettably believe not—not without a radical shift in how we think about compromise and cooperation as an essential process and practice of government.
I think the protest occupation at the intersection of Williamson and Baldwin Streets was badly located and ill-conceived. At the same time, I think our collective reaction, cancelling joy across the city, compounded our loss.
Elections should be decided by voters, not by legislators drawing districts into boundaries to ensure incumbents from both parties will prevail.
Trump changed the agency’s ideological direction, but nine failed audits later, there’s no telling where the money went.
WisTRAIN explicitly emphasizes employer-driven occupational training and human-AI collaboration. Its design also rewards employment retention after training. The next step is to make capability progression just as visible as participation.
Why should AI, left to its own devices, want to attack us? Why would it want to kill its creators?
The healthcare industry believes that when the dust settles on his legislation, 15 million people will lose their healthcare, either because they’re now ineligible or they simply can’t afford it.
