As we have gotten closer to America’s 250th birthday, I have spent a lot of time thinking about our Founding Fathers and those who laid the foundation for this great country.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss how candidates in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District might tip partisan control of Congress in the midterm elections. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
Milwaukee’s current wastewater treatment contract holder, Veolia Water Milwaukee, is under fire, with some calling for an audit.
The Barack Obama Presidential Center opening in Chicago gave us a complete contradiction of the times we’ve been living through. Community rather than chaos, lightness versus darkness, and hope instead of fear.
As a former Fox News host and retired Army major, Hegseth had loudly bemoaned the rise of “woke” politics and what he saw as affirmative action promotions within the military.
Mandela Barnes is by far the best choice to be our next governor.
This is bigger than campaign finance violations; it is identity theft to funnel foreign money.
Senate Republicans would do well by the country and themselves to heed Trump’s political instincts on this one.
When tuition continues to rise, students and parents deserve more than assurances that the money is being spent wisely.
While Father’s Day is still fresh in our memories, dads across our state are reflecting on the highlights of being parents. We were showered with praise, handmade cards, a cherished meal and heartfelt gifts. But often we forget to thank those who support us to be great parents: childcare workers.
When Democrats win legislative majorities, we will enshrine the will of the majority in our state constitution. We will pass the right to reproductive healthcare in both chambers, in two concurrent Legislatures, and when we do, the residents of our state will have the opportunity to vote on a constitutional amendment to guarantee this right for Wisconsin women.
A top tier of liberal candidates emerging. Will there be more Democratic dropouts?
A new community kitchen will help feed families in 53206, but why did the neighborhood lose its grocery store?
With a skeptical public, scientists must sometimes say more than “Trust us, we’re right.” Perhaps that begins by saying, “We don’t have all the answers … but we have some for you to consider.”
Seriously, why is Josh Kaul running for reelection as Wisconsin attorney general?
Since then, I’ve worked as a professional wrestler, climbed the corporate ladder at two Fortune 100 companies and today have the honor of serving in the Wisconsin Senate, representing the 28th District southwest of Milwaukee.
It might come as a surprise to many Wisconsinites to learn that more Wisconsin women are getting abortions today than were accessing abortion in the state four years ago, right before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Wisconsin’s education debate should focus on whether public dollars are being deployed in ways that maximize student achievement, workforce readiness, and economic growth.
Some people — but unfortunately not many — are starting to wake up to the fact that Social Security is going to run out of money about six years from now.
If you enjoy a state park or forest, hike a beautiful trail, paddle a scenic river or ride your bike on a trail, chances are you have that opportunity because of the Stewardship Fund.
