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.
Right-sizing public school personnel rosters would not only save the taxpayer money but could increase teacher pay and by extension, perhaps even student outcomes as well.
Covid vaccine controversy has resulted in collateral damage to other non-related, life-saving public health measures like newborn Vitamin K administration.
The riots in Europe should be a warning to all Americans: Do not let socialists, communists and any others who believe in unlimited migration without assimilation run your country.
During October, National Co-op Month, I wanted to shine a light on the incredible work cooperatives do in rural Wisconsin. Across Wisconsin, the U.S. Department of Agriculture works with cooperatives – businesses that are owned and managed by its members – to support rural prosperity.
He would have loved this version of the Brewers. He may have still called them the Braves and compared them to Hank Aaron and Warren Spahn, but he would have loved this group of gamers. And he would have loved Pat Murphy.
Leaving aside the fact that Silicon Valley has done a miserable job of explaining how data centers work while sometimes trying to ram them down the throats of unprepared local governments, here’s why claims about water, electricity and farmland use are overblown – if not outright wrong.
As you go to the polls or fill out your absentee ballot, please remember Wisconsin’s proud tradition of clean elections and vote accordingly.
Some GOP operatives were almost dooming, worried about the midterm headwinds. But everyone thinks Tiffany has a path, and the more Crowley opens his trap, the clearer that becomes.
