Under Governor Walker’s leadership, bipartisan support by the Wisconsin Legislature and flexibilities granted by the Trump Administration, Wisconsin created the Health Care Stability Plan – a program intended to reverse the double-digit increases in Wisconsin’s individual insurance market under the Affordable Care Act.
No, it’s not the spot that suggests Walker’s opponent Evers coddles teachers who like pornography, although that one is particularly abhorrent. The really misleading one is the commercial of the farmer who laments that Evers will raise all kinds of taxes that affect Wisconsin farmers who, we all know, are struggling to survive.
Trumpism (if not Trump himself) has given oxygen to some of the ugliest impulses among us. Anti-Jewish narratives grow and thrive in environments rife with conspiracy theories and no one has done more than the current president to bring them into the mainstream of our political discourse.
While Scott Walker is embracing the worst of Donald Trump’s destructive politics, Tony Evers is upholding the values of the state that my immigrant family has called “home” for almost two centuries.
We need to remove the temptation from a politically minded person, be they Democrat or Republican, to use this selection to sway policy for anything other than what is in the best interest of the natural resources we treasure.
In Congress, I’ll bring Wisconsin-style solutions to make education accessible for workers so they can earn the degrees and learn the skills they need to be successful.
Vote your heart and pocketbook. Wisconsin needs change.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss whether money or momentum are more important to winning this year’s elections. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
In the gubernatorial race, it seems clear that — after eight years of Walker — people are not getting what they want and need from state government.

On the Daily Standard Podcast, host Charlie Sykes joins Weekly Standard senior writer Michael Warren and chief elections analyst David Byler to discuss the recent mail bomb attempts and Gov. Scott Walker’s re-election battle.
Madison turnout high, new Milwaukee system attracts bigger early vote.
His main weapon has been the formerly science-based and conservation-defined Department of Natural Resources converted into a defacto Department of Commerce and directed by business leaders and insiders as the ‘chamber of commerce mentality’ agency he demanded.
The reality is they can’t create an alternative way to cover pre-existing conditions.
Looking ahead, I know our positive vision for the future will keep Wisconsin on the right path. My opponent is focused on taking Wisconsin back to the failed policies of the past and protecting the big government unions.
What change does Tony Evers offer? A citizen governor, a back to the Founders’ idea of public education and modesty.
A powerful blue wave still has a strong likelihood of kicking Mitch McConnell and his ilk to the curb – and a powerhouse turn in the electorate is essential to truly blocking Trump.
While the media and the Democrats will find a few cases that Schimel handled to try to nitpick, Josh Kaul’s record will go unexamined.
