As a child in the early 1950s I remember on Christmas Eve we went Christmas Caroling to the old folks and shut-ins in and around our little village in central western New Hampshire. We then gathered at the smallest protestant chapel in New England for the Annual Christmas Eve Candle Light Service.
I am writing to you in earnest because this is an important issue that should concern everyone. In one of the most disgusting displays of religious intolerance I have ever seen from a public official, Josh Kaul attacked religious freedom yet again.
On October 20th, he filed a brief with the WI Supreme Court arguing to strike down a critical tax-exemption for ALL religious charities who are actively working to help some of our most impoverished and at-risk citizens:
State Senator Brad Pfaff recently posted in Facebook:
Earlier this month, I testified before the Assembly Committee on Insurance for AB 542, legislation I authored with Senator Felzkowski. This bill creates standards to ensure fairness and transparency for dentists and their patients. Thank you Chair Dittrich for the opportunity to bring this bill forward!
Wisconsinites are feeling the full impact of Governor Evers’ 400-year property tax increase, created through his veto pen and upheld by the liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court.
I know many of you are opening your property tax bills and feeling blindsided. There is no reason Wisconsin should rank among the top ten for highest property taxes in the U.S. alongside Illinois, New Jersey, and New York. Making Wisconsin affordable starts with ensuring you are never taxed out of your home. As governor, I will end Tony Evers’ 400-year property tax hike and lower your taxes.
Today Trump Conservative Jessi Ebben’s congressional campaign announced she has been endorsed by Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13). Rep. Luna is a member of the House Oversight, and Foreign Affairs Committees, and is a United States Air Force veteran.
As this year winds down and I pause to look back, my heart is full. I’m grateful for you, for the good work witnessed this year, and for the lives touched across Wisconsin. Your partnership helped make that possible, and I want you to understand the weight of that.
Because you stood with us, this year was marked by real impact. Hope reached into the lives of families, churches found confidence to engage their communities, and young leaders stepped into culture with biblical conviction. Every one of those moments carries your fingerprints.
I recently attended a conference for legislators from across the country. One of the topics we discussed was the growing threat of fraud and scams affecting families, businesses, and communities. I found this panel especially interesting and learned a great deal from the discussion. As we head into the holiday season, I wanted to use this week’s column to share some of what I learned.
The holiday season is often the busiest time of the year.
The same held true for me this week at the state Capitol in Madison.
In addition to meeting with constituents, advocacy groups and other lawmakers, four of my legislative proposals received public hearings:
As we close out the year, I’m reminded exactly why I’m running for Governor: our people, our values, and our promise to the next generation.
Wisconsin should be a place where hard work is rewarded, families can actually afford to stay, and government answers to you - not the bureaucrats. We’ve made real progress this year meeting voters across the state, and we cannot afford to lose momentum now.
The 2026 Governors race will define Wisconsin, and your help today makes a real impact on what we can build tomorrow.
We condemn the Wisconsin Elections Commission's (WEC) decision at its Dec. 11 special meeting to reject a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) request for full voter registration data needed to help identify and remove non-citizens from Wisconsin's voter rolls. In a 5-1 vote, the bipartisan commission refused to sign a proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that would have allowed the sharing of sensitive voter information, citing state confidentiality laws as overriding federal authority.
Just like the Grinch who hated Christmas, Governor Evers can't stand the idea of families keeping their money. He's the one who slithered and slunk in that infamous 400-year veto, striking digits and dashes to lock in automatic school revenue increases until 2425. While the Grinch tried to steal presents, Evers is stealing from your wallet, driving skyrocketing property taxes that hit families hard right when holiday bills pile up.
