Democrats can’t write off rural or suburban Wisconsinites, Trump voters or count on automatic support from Democratic-leaning voters. To win the 2020 state Supreme Court election, legislative and presidential contests Democrats must engage the entire state.
He lost last week’s election, ironically, to a candidate who is full of ideas and plans for the city, much as he was back in 1973. What will never be lost, though, is that Soglin was a blessing for Madison. That’s how he’ll be long remembered.
The goal of helping ex-offenders get jobs is laudable, but too much public information will be lost.
With recent questions about the type of construction proceeding at Foxconn, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider the past stumbles by the Taiwanese company and its future impact on the political landscape. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and
50 counties’ voters or their boards have now voted for nonpartisan redistricting.
The conservative grassroots appeared to get its groove back Tuesday. And southeast Wisconsin’s WOW counties wowed again in helping to deliver a narrow victory to conservative state Supreme Court candidate Brian Hagedorn, a victory that could keep the court in conservative hands until at least 2023.
If his win holds up, it is doubly depressing for Democrats since he will replace for a 10-year term one of the most respected jurists in Wisconsin history, Shirley Abrahamson, and give the court an insurmountable 5-2 conservative majority with only one supreme court race on the horizon in the next three years.
Satya Rhodes-Conway identified her voters, closed the deal with them and got them to the polls. No wasted effort.
His new job: finance chair of a national group opposing non-partisan redistricting.
MPS was contacted by at least two interested buyers for Hayes in 2012 and 2013, but the building has sat empty for the last several years.
Trump is so obsessed with promoting fossil fuels regardless of their contributions to long-term climate change that he’s now decided to make wind power, the renewable energy powering more and more homes every year, a villain of major proportions.
Tech jobs, whether they are found inside tech-based companies or in other business sectors, are vital to state and regional economies. Wisconsin is no exception to what is becoming a national rule.
After years of deferring vital maintenance and safety upgrades, Gov. Tony Evers prioritized our state infrastructure to improve our public buildings while creating jobs and boosting local economies statewide.
Rhodes-Conway won by a resounding 62 percent to 38 percent, marking a change that is both generational and transformational.
RightWisconsin’s James Wigderson looks at the winners and losers in Tuesday’s election beyond the candidates.
To the surprise of some, conservatives flipped the seat they wanted to capture for decades. They once again own a 5-2 majority on the Court.
Anger drives votes, media in decline, traditional judicial campaigns are dead, and more.
Judge Brian Hagedorn should have been a dream opponent for progressives in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. But thanks to some lucky breaks, late spending and an uninspiring opponent, Hagedorn eked out a victory.
This election was a lay-up and only the WisDems could figure out a way to muff it in grand fashion.
Eric Genrich, a member of the Assembly from 2013 to 2019, was elected as the new mayor of Green Bay. His win is a big deal politically, as it represented a shift in direction for the state’s third-largest city — and another sign that progressive ideas are gaining traction in cities well beyond Madison and Milwaukee.
