In July, I had a great opportunity to join a bipartisan group of Midwest leaders on a visit to Taiwan.

Trump’s impulsive trade wars bring hard realities to the Badger State, where Canada is Wisconsin’s largest foreign trading partner.

Freed from the constant distractions of screens and extracurriculars, a road trip gives you the time and space to talk to your kids, teach them to love their country by actually seeing it, and prepare them for the day they eventually hit the road without you.

Nobody is watching ‘The Great America Road Trip.’

Dear Tom Tiffany and David Crowley: As you look beyond November, be willing to work with members of both parties and be willing to compromise and do what is best for the citizens of Wisconsin.

David’s experience leading our state’s largest county effectively with a clear vision and plan, his ability to collaborate effectively at all levels, his experience as a state legislator, and unique leadership qualities will make him an excellent governor on day one.

His failed record would harm his gubernatorial bid, so Crowley has to blame Republicans, including Scott Walker, for his mismanagement.

Republican candidate for Wisconsin governor Tom Tiffany has one of the most anti-worker legislative records from both his time in the State Legislature and U.S. House.

We’re getting another poll on Wednesday from the good folks at the Marquette University Law School. Apparently, they didn’t learn their lesson the last time.

Spiraling costs, scant benefit from rating system suggest it’s time for a new approach.

Duffy stunned the Amtrak board last week by announcing his DOT would be investing $5.3 billion in the passenger rail system’s Midwest network.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at the rematch in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District between Dem Rebecca Cooke and Republican incumbent Derrick Van Orden. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.

What specific policies should Wisconsinites demand from their political leaders on data centers?

Wisconsin’s citizen voters must be assured that their votes count. Central Count continues to be the core problem behind Wisconsin’s chronic election night delays, technical failures, and eroded public confidence.

None of them were very accurate. Yet more pollsters keep popping up.

Wisconsin has an opportunity to address both a massive taxpayer burden and one of the state’s most difficult ethical questions.
