So the accountability question for November isn’t which candidate cares more or will spend more. It’s whether either will commit, on the record, to rewriting the equalization formula.
The senator whom polls frequently identify as the most popular elected official in the United States was in Eau Claire Sunday morning, telling cheering Wisconsinites that the Nov. 3 midterm election offers an opportunity to transform American politics, check and balance Donald Trump and strike a blow for governance by the people rather than oligarchy.
A proposed constitutional amendment on the Nov. 3 ballot would allow “places of worship” to meet in large groups regardless of the direness of an emergency situation, the nature of a threat or whether gatherings by other organizations are prohibited. As a practicing member of a worship community, I believe that would be a grave mistake.
From education to land conservation, politicians celebrate or ignore government spending, while taxpayers pick up the tab.
To some the progressive stalwart is a hero; to others he’s a fright.
America’s future cannot be left to politicians while the rest of us watch.
If we keep on accepting the lesser of two evils, we’ll keep getting two evils.
Crowley and Cooke are the real deal. They represent change, problem-solving, and getting things done. Crowley is running on his accomplishments while serving as Milwaukee County executive. Cooke offers fresh, energetic leadership that hears all, including farmers, in the 3rd CD.
Wisconsin needs a vision on how to make our state the economic engine of the Midwest. Wisconsin can be the first state in the Midwest that doesn’t tax work. It’s where the country is heading, and where Wisconsin needs to go.
Leadership that shows up for Wisconsin
David Crowley has more than a dozen wealthy people backing his campaign.
The de facto administrative positions of state government, secretary of state and treasurer, don’t receive much limelight, but their occupant couldn’t be more important.
We have a serious king problem here in Wisconsin. It is the bizarre gubernatorial veto that sometimes allows our state’s governors to sit as a “Scrabble King,” changing enacted laws by crossing out words, numbers and punctuation marks.
If the authors of these resolutions see a need for these policy changes, they should address them on the floor of the Legislature, the way our traditional democratic process works.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss the race for Wisconsin attorney general, a rematch for incumbent AG Josh Kaul and Fond du Lac County DA Eric Toney. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
Wisconsin’s governor will certify the state’s 2028 presidential election results, and Republican nominee Tom Tiffany has been one of Trump’s most consistent election deniers.
The Uihleins support a lot of Republican candidates and causes, and would likely have supported the Republican no matter who was running for governor this year. But they have a special relationship with Tiffany.
Using Zuckerberg as cover for Trump loyalty
From tax plans to education to abortion to Zuckerbucks (apparently), we break down the one and only debate in the general election race for governor. Bottom line? You can’t trust Tom Tiffany.
Throughout my time in Madison, my focus has remained on delivering results for the people I represent and ensuring that our communities, our values and our way of life have a strong voice in the decisions that shape our state.
