The Republican primary for governor and the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate each have a clear top two, and the races are heating up. We break it all down.
The primaries are August 9th. It looks right now like we’ll see Evers v. Michels and Johnson v. Barnes with both incumbents prevailing in November. But that’s a pretty shaky prediction this far out.
In the wake of last month’s mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, there has been a lot of talk about “hardening” schools. Wisconsin led the way with a $100 million school safety program. But four years later, safety is being compromised by liberal politics and a failure to stay alert.
Juneteenth is possible because of Independence Day. The radicals pushing the 1619 Project and critical race theory would likely beg to differ with this statement, but the facts make a compelling case.
Even in hard times, promising young companies can get funded if the investment opportunity is compelling.
This week’s revelation indicates the depth of Johnson’s role in Donald Trump effort to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election.
Wisconsinites remain sour on the direction of a state led by Gov. Tony Evers, according to the latest University of Marquette Law School poll.
Michels and Kleefisch are tied. What’s interesting is where Michels’ support so far has come from.
The story in Wisconsin and nationally could not have been clearer.
Today, no actual conservative party policy idea can surface as the saturation of crazy has dominated every aspect of the GOP.
If you think otherwise, it means your own friends and neighbors are the “corrupt bureaucrats.”
Profits from ratepayers funds foundation that gave $1 million to UWM and helps utility look like a good guy.
We should have a smaller jail and put more resources into strategies and efforts to keep people out of the criminal justice system and out of the Dane County Jail.
Gov. Tony Evers signed an executive order on Tuesday prohibiting price gouging on gasoline and diesel, a CYA political move arguably as pointless as the Democrat’s time in office.
Wisconsin’s gun laws are among the weakest in the country and the Legislature is only trying to make our state less safe.
Self-insured employers have been fighting the good fight against runaway health costs for their companies and for their workers for decades, without much help from state and national politicians. But a ray of sunshine has emerged: the courts.
On this Juneteenth we must examine the importance of that day to the Black community as well as ask if America has lived up to the questions posed by Frederick Douglass nearly 168 years ago.
A sitting senator went out of his way to step on the rule of law, our political institutions, and the election processes of our nation.
Scarlett Johnson sat down with Badger Institute Policy Director Patrick McIlheran to explain what drove her to act on behalf of her local schools, and why more parents should do so.
If Democrats find a way to hang on to the 3rd Congressional District in Southwestern Wisconsin this fall, it will almost certainly mean that Gov. Tony Evers will win a second term, that Sen. Ron Johnson will be defeated and that the Democrats will hold the Senate and stem their losses in the House.
