Tony Evers is choosing to release violent criminals. He could stop it, but he is not doing so because he wants it to happen. He wants violent felons to be released into our communities because social justice politics is more important to him than victims and their families.
Universal vouchers, proposed by gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels, would crack the foundation upon which our state was built — already weakened by decades of Republican-induced cuts.
There is nothing in his background to indicate that he would be a problem solver. And his volatile temperament disqualifies him. Congress is supposed to solve problems. Extremists like Van Orden just bloviate.
Republican U.S. Senator’s push to ‘save’ it would actually destroy the program.
Mandela Barnes could do well to cut a TV ad expressing his love of country and optimism — but he can’t redact his own recent history.
Despite what he might claim, Ron Johnson has spent the last twelve years working against small scale farmers, choosing to side with the large agricultural companies driving us out of business.
As I travel around in this intensely political season, talking about the relationships between rural Americans and Mexican workers, I see their stories, more and more, as an antidote to our divisive politics.
Polls keep suggesting a close election and that voters don’t take seriously enough the threat to democracy and basic voting rights the Democrats keep talking about.
Milwaukee’s rise in violent crime coincides with the denigration and depletion of the thin blue line.
A candidate themself should never, ever belittle, demean, or devalue citizens who show support and offer to volunteer for a campaign. To do so is seriously shallow.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider which party has momentum in the final weeks of the 2022 general election. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
Young people, please confound the predictions. Show up in record numbers and vote like your future depends on it.
I wonder if those two uniformed sheriffs who appear in Ron Johnson’s attack ads that paint Mandela Barnes as anti-cop ever ask the senator why he wasn’t more alarmed by the U.S. Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.
The economy, public safety, and the border are major issues with voters.
Why are Republicans surging in the polls less than three weeks before the midterm election? Because, as Dan O’Donnell writes, America is rejecting unserious Democrats in deadly serious times.
Wisconsin comes out looking bad in yet another recent environmental report. On a “toxicity-weighted scale” of chemicals, Wisconsin saw the most releases of any state, according to the Environment America Research and Policy Center.
In a close election, emphasizing the vast difference on climate could propel U.S. Senate candidate Mandela Barnes to victory.
Think your electric bills are expensive now? They would explode under Gov. Tony Evers’ carbon-free by 2050 plan, according to a new report from a Minnesota think tank.
Conservative Republicans in the United States should take note of what the Tories have done for their future needs.
It’s too early to declare an irreversible trend, but it’s clear that promising startups can be found in places beyond Madison and Milwaukee. Wisconsin needs them all to prosper.
