The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at the 2026 Wisconsin race for governor with Nov. 3 Election Day less than four weeks away. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
Property taxes are killing home ownership; imagine if Crowley gets elected.
The truth about the Manufacturing and Agriculture Tax Credit.
The state of the race in the nation’s swingiest swing state is being dominated by the competing forces of a building blue wave and the billionaires spending tens of millions to try to stem the tide.

Increasingly, the question is not what this country can do for me, but what I can do for the country that made room for me.
With this new and more established version of “People’s Shabbat,” my peers and I can now explore and celebrate our heritage in a space congruent with our political and social values.
The real miracle is that even after all the scrutiny very few illegal votes — either by fraud or mistake — have been found.
