Joel Jacobsen is what legislative careerists like Vos fear the most: an appealing opponent who offers voters a credible alternative to the crass political gamesmanship of a dangerously out-of-touch incumbent.
Previous leaders have recognized the power in words that can soothe anxieties or rally a nation during times of grief and disaster. Not this president.
This summer, I was honored to be hired by eight different employers in the 17th Senate District as part of my Hire Howard experiences.
Does Judge Barrett have an understanding of the free market model as an analytic tool for determining the consequences of her decisions or will she simply embrace de-regulated “free” markets as a presumptive prescription?
The president is, at a minimum, mainly to blame for encouraging dangerous beliefs about coronavirus, including in Wisconsin. Beyond that, he may also be to blame for the recent uptick in the spread of the virus here due to hosting campaign events in the state.
The pandemic and the slower counting of ballots in 2020 may try everyone’s patience, but patience is exactly what a mature democracy like ours depends on.

A full-time Council won’t attract more committed candidates, it will do the opposite, freezing out qualified people who can’t afford to run an expensive campaign.
With just over a week to go, the Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, assess the state of the presidential race in swing state Wisconsin.
As Donald Trump winds down his campaign by discovering new avenues for deceit, there remains one last pre-election theme that is driving me nuts. It’s that there apparently are some potential voters who reject Trump but are just not, you know, feeling enough passion to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
