Tommy Thompson: Focus on solutions, not personal attacks, in GOP primary for governor
My focus this summer and fall will be on helping the Republican candidates create a positive, forward-looking agenda that will not only excite our base, but bring independents, suburban voters and disaffected Democrats to our side.

Kevin Nicholson: Kids do not have time to wait for politicians to fix broken schools
We face a stark educational reality in Wisconsin: the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction reports that Wisconsin’s K-12 students scored an abysmal 27% proficient in math and 27.5% proficient in English Language Arts in 2021.

Tom Nelson: Time to end corporate welfare for billionaires and failed corporations
While I will always root for the Milwaukee Bucks, one thing I will never root for is using taxpayer dollars to enrich billionaires unwilling to spend their own money for investments that they expect taxpayers to pay for instead.

A wish list from seven moms for a senator whose actions have made life harder for Wisconsin families, especially during the pandemic.

Gregory Humphrey: Senator Ron Johnson owes Wisconsin an apology for being party to vaccine/AIDS lies
Acting with callous disregard for the citizens of the state is one thing, as with the above statement, but being a part of the spreading of absolute lies about the public vaccines in relation to AIDS requires more than moving on to the next campaign event.

Remso Martinez: The new capitalism
Wisconsin entrepreneurs build communities, careers.

Kathy King: People must have the freedom to make decisions over their own bodies
We know restrictive abortion laws harm pregnant people, especially persons of color, low income and those who live in rural communities. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin is committed to making sure that those in Wisconsin who want to terminate a pregnancy can access that care.

Lena Taylor: Precedent v. History
Reproductive control has always been a thing.

David Blaska: Is the A-word a winning vote getter?
The people will decide, not the court.

Wendell J. Harris: Obesity’s inequitable impact on Black people exacerbates health disparities
Obesity is a serious, chronic disease that impacts Black people in Wisconsin and our country at higher rates than any other racial group; yet, people living with obesity have been denied access to the care they need to survive, widening disparities throughout our health care system.
