Odds are slim. But the added turnout for those races could help re-elect Tammy Baldwin.

Rep. Scott Allen denies request to put advisory referendum on amending the U.S. Constitution to overturn Citizens United on the Assembly Committee on Constitution and Ethics agenda.

Trying to quash protest is like holding back flood water with your thumb. Reasonable steps should be taken to guarantee everyone’s personal safety. After that, let the sifting and winnowing commence, and freely.

Wisconsin water belongs to everyone and we need to do a helluva better job protecting the water and our rights to it, because clean water and water rights in Wisconsin are being ignored, contaminated, twisted or flat-out heisted.

Wisconsin is leading the way, and Congress must now follow suit by passing tax reform legislation that will deliver results to improve the lives of citizens here and around the country, while giving a much needed hand up to our businesses.

His decision on gerrymandering case could ruin Supreme Court’s reputation.

It’s well past time to get this idea on the front burner and design an uncomplicated, bipartisan system that does work for everyone.

To emphasize the importance of our nation’s water infrastructure, on Oct. 12 communities across the nation will participate in the U.S. Water Alliance’s campaign, Imagine a Day Without Water.

Sen. Ron Johnson should not let the American people down by putting the livelihoods of our most promising immigrants on the line. Passing the SUCCEED Act would continue the legacy of immigrants making America great.

The policy changes appear to have had a negative effect on student safety while not closing the gap in suspension rates between white and African American students.

Last week, every single one of my fellow Regents attending our most recent meeting voted to approve a dangerous anti-free speech proposal that will, without question, chill speech at college campuses across Wisconsin.
We deserve better than corporate boondoggles like Foxconn, and our government’s leadership needs to stand on the side of workers.

I am optimistic for the future of Wisconsin’s rural communities. I believe Governor Walker’s budget makes a strong investment in our rural communities and Wisconsin’s future.

Unless the court is prepared to eliminate partisan redistricting, it is not equipped to create the strict standards necessary to avoid endless litigation.

If you really wanted to make Americans safer you would ban semi-automatic weapons and forget about the bump stocks, which of course would be useless if they had nothing to modify.

Living in a free society rooted in individual liberty and the rule of law is not for the frail or fragile. There are considerable personal and societal human costs, but the alternative is despotism, the human costs of which history has demonstrated to be substantially more severe.

Conservative commentator and Townhall.com News Editor Katie Pavlich was able to speak about the right to carry guns on college campuses without interruption Tuesday night at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

One of Trump’s most attractive features to his followers is that he’s a “straight talker” who doesn’t care who he offends. But he’s unmasked himself as one of the most thin-skinned, overly-sensitive politicians America has ever seen.

While Dane County and other local governments are encouraging biking, the state government is going in the opposite direction.

Ryan will go only so far as the NRA allows, which, at this point, is toward a constrained discussion of regulating “bump stock” devices, which modify rifles so that they can fire bullets as rapidly as machine guns. Beyond that tangential response, the speaker is determined to change the topic.
