Ryan-backed candidates did well on Tuesday night. Bryan Steil, Ryan’s preferred successor, won the Republican primary to represent the outgoing speaker’s district after the midterm elections. State Sen. Leah Vukmir won her primary to take on Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., by a 10-point margin. Ryan endorsed her in June.
Despite what Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and the feudal serfs of corporate capital keep claiming, Americans want strong unions. That’s the message from polling that shows more than 60 percent of voters nationwide approve of organized labor.
Governments impact population and property value growth in ways both substantial and subtle.
I spent my summer in blissful ignorance of the tragedy that would end it.
Baldwin’s passion for inactivity has led to her only accomplishment of note — sitting idly by when she could have done something to stop the opioid abuses at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Tomah.
Walker has always walked a fine line when it comes to campaigning, never missing an opportunity to gain an edge even if it borders on being illegal.
All the polls show Evers to be the front-runner in the Democratic primary, while beating Walker by wide margins in two recent polls. Apparently Walker agrees and his campaign has already begun what it excels in, negative attacks against Evers.
Some call him Wisconsin’s “Mr. Invincible.” But in what many expect to be a Democratic year at the polls, the two term Republican Governor Scott Walker, who also survived an intense recall challenge, may find his quest for a third term an uphill climb.
The Wisconsin Republican primary for U.S. Senate may come down to who loves President Donald Trump the most.
On the Daily Standard Podcast, host Charlie Sykes talks with Politico Magazine’s Blake Hounshell about recent primaries, special elections the upcoming midterms and more.
Dallet still has a confused idea of what the Supreme Court does in Wisconsin. She called for more immigration and less incarceration of criminals. Apparently she thinks the Court controls border security and whether or not someone commits a crime.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Jensen & Chvala, analyze how President Trump’s trade war is affecting his supporters in Wisconsin. Sponsored by Michael Best Strategies and the Wisconsin Counties Association.
Conservatives have leveraged religion since the 1980s as an effective political hammer — remember the Moral Majority and the Christian Coalition? So where have liberal faith leaders been and why do their communities pale as a political force?
Maybe one-third of Democrats will show up at the polls and vote for a candidate with little name identification who has spent very little money. But all the signs point to Tony Evers, and if he ends up victorious, his fellow candidates have only themselves to blame.
We often get people who believe far fewer than half of our Wisconsin applicants are accepted at UW-Madison. In reality, we’ve been accepting about two-thirds of Wisconsin applicants for many years.
Assumption that government spending reduces freedom limits the ability to assess government programs.
Jim Swift and Haley Byrd join host Charlie Sykes to discuss the special election in Ohio 12, the Chris Collins arrest, and Paul Ryan and his legacy.
So Walker has no interest in seeing the inside of any of the state facilities where record-breaking numbers of citizens are incarcerated at the cost of a billion taxpayer dollars a year, and where thousands of state citizens work in a system where he’s at the top of the organization chart.
There’s trouble in farmland: low prices, Trump tariffs, the continued loss of small and medium dairy farms. Despite these concerns, Wisconsin farmers are growing about 4 million acres of corn and more than 2 million acres of soybeans this year. That’s in part because farmers are long on hope. It’s also because of government programs that mitigate loss and encourage production.
The Natural Resources Board on Wednesday passed an emergency rule that will change the way many Wisconsin deer farms do business and the way many hunters handle their kills.
