In order to maximize the political benefit, Evers is taking great pains to spread our money around the state.

All things considered, and even with the wind in his face, I’m going to bet on a second term for Tony Evers.

Wisconsin may be posting near-record low unemployment rates, but job creation is lagging far behind most other states, according to federal Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court recently stopped the government from forcing a private company to hire a serial domestic abuser who brutally raped, beat, and strangled his domestic partners.

Despite a deluge of misinformation about the ongoing pandemic, people around the world have gained trust in both science and scientists.

Many in these times would have us forget our history, but for all of us associated with the MacIver Institute for Public Policy, the legacy of Mr. MacIver is never forgotten.

Only a narrow slice of Milwaukee votes in mayoral elections, but it wasn’t always this way.

Crime prevention beyond police, prisons. Transparency and public input should be prioritized.

Legislative Republicans refused to come together to move forward on bipartisan solutions that would address Wisconsinites’ biggest concerns.

Let’s measure how the two parties will fare under maps approved by state Supreme Court.

When Wisconsin’s U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson says the quiet part out loud and admits he wants to cut health care, American families should be worried.

The bottom line is that 50 Republicans, aided by two Democrats, were able to thwart yet more legislation aimed at helping voters of color — just like Congresses of old were able to block civil rights legislation for decades.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, take a moment to reflect on the life and career of Wisconsin’s first woman lieutenant governor, Margaret Farrow. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
