This is the summer that the climate chickens came home to roost.

To celebrate National Voter Registration Day, we encourage all citizens to take the time to register to vote if you haven’t, double-check your voter registration to make sure it’s correct, and if you would like to early vote, order an absentee ballot to vote from home. You can do it all at: myvote.wi.gov.

Evers is trying to do what voters want him to do with the surplus. Unfortunately, he has been stonewalled by Republicans playing political games and trying to hurt the governor before the election in November.

Both Johnson and Michels are claiming their opponents, Barnes and Evers, are in favor of defunding the police.

I thought I was prepared for the ugly and racist ads that I figured the Republicans would be throwing at Mandela Barnes, but it’s just been disgusting to see.

Johnson pulls ahead of Barnes; Michels, Beglinger support tops Evers.

Breaking down races for governor and senator in this crucial swing state.

Evers and Barnes say they will honor November results. Michels and Johnson refuse to say.

I know this opinion runs the risk of not aging well, but I’m thinking our times have a lot more in common with 1927 than 1860.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress, the “report card” that tells us how our students are doing, showed the devastation that overextended school shutdowns, quarantines, and substitute teachers wrought on students.

Republican governors in Arizona, Texas and Florida are using human beings to score political points.

Central to a solid November win for Barnes is increasing his support in rural Wisconsin.

Johnson is clearly terrified of offending even a sliver of the right — even if that means being held hostage by a shrinking minority of his own base.

RoJo’s negative ads, attacking Barnes with some of his own befuddling statements, are hitting home.

There could be thousands of court-ordered incompetent individuals on Wisconsin’s voter rolls because the Wisconsin Elections Commission refuses to remove them, says an attorney for an elections integrity watchdog.

Dane County has shown that it understands a core truth: If our election workers aren’t safe, our democracy isn’t safe.

Many incumbent federal and state elected officials that may have rebelled, given aid or provided comfort to the January 6th insurrectionists, likely will never be charged or face a day in jail.

Like Gov. Evers, I am committed to doing the right thing for Wisconsin and providing common sense leadership.

I knew when I decided to run for office against a very liberal sheriff appointed by Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, that there would be political retaliation. Recently, appointed Sheriff Kalvin Barrett had me walked out of the sheriff’s department, where I am a detective with 14 years of experience, and placed on administrative leave.

Without these institutions, anarchy and chaos would likely ensue.
