Bruce Murphy: Clancy runs as double-dipping socialist

Kristin Lyerly: A few right-wing extremists shouldn’t dictate women’s health care

Steven Walters: Controversy over parole is rare
Issue facing Evers is rare, as most state prison inmates must serve 100% of their sentence.

Two facts have become very clear this election year. First, crime is a huge priority for Wisconsinites. Second, crime is not a priority at all for Gov. Tony Evers.

Bruce Murphy: Who’s the real outsider for governor?

We must ensure that our schools prepare students for life in society, and I am hopeful that Chancellor Mnookin will ensure that the student body is well-prepared for their future.

David Blaska: ‘No endorsement’ hurts Kleefisch

Lucy Ripp: Wisconsin GOP has no clear vision
