Happy Summer! 

While it’s been a tad warm and dry in recent weeks, Summer officially started this week. We hope you are enjoying some time off and enjoying our famously beautiful (and humid) summers. Not only has the weather been hot, hot, hot, but Republicans are on fire and energized for 2024!

Read our latest update below! 

- Team WisGOP

Last weekend, the Republican Party of Wisconsin held our annual convention in La Crosse. Hundreds of grassroots leaders, activists, guests, and elected officials gathered to mobilize and spark excitement for the upcoming 2024 cycle. The Convention’s theme, “Red to the Roots,” balanced the importance of preserving conservative traditions and values with the need to improve Republican approaches and strategy in elections.

Attendees heard from Congressmen Bryan Steil, Tom Tiffany, Derrick Van Orden, and Glenn Grothman along with Senator Ron Johnson, State Legislative Leaders, Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu and Speaker Robin Vos, State Treasurer John Leiber, WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming, special guest Mayra Flores, and several video messages from presidential candidates throughout the weekend.

The first Mexican-born Congresswoman Mayra Flores (TX-34) made her way to La Crosse and delivered a heartfelt and inspiring message. Flores reminded Wisconsin Republicans how important our work is and reminded folks how important it is to love America. Flores touched on achieving the “American Dream,” and reiterated how lucky we Americans are. She emphasized that more Latinos do agree with Republican values and that Democrats not only take Latino voters for granted but are destroying the wonderful country and dreams every Latino family works for.

During the panels, a variety of local, state, and federal leaders discussed some of the most pressing issues including the United State’s economic turmoil, the UW System’s mission for social justice indoctrination, and the importance of conservative media. Guests got to hear from a few of our conservative news folks; Wisconsinites are so lucky to have wonderful conservative media throughout Wisconsin. These panels discussed the consequences of Democrat leadership and the importance of conservatives coming together and voting early, if possible, in the upcoming 2024 elections and beyond.

This week, Republicans on the budget writing committee introduced the largest tax cut in state history, cutting taxes for hardworking Wisconsin taxpayers by $4.4 billion, including a $3.5 billion income tax cut that will help Wisconsin families and small businesses! On top of a tax cut, Republicans on the State Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee voted to invest over $1.5 Billion in transportation infrastructure in Wisconsin.

While the Democrats revel in disparaging Republicans as uneducated, recent studies show that the Democrat approach to academia is incredibly harmful to student growth. The Democrats' already disastrous education policies were exacerbated as a result of their decision to shutter schools and force students to virtual schooling.

Prior to Governor Ever’s school shutdowns, only 43.4% Wisconsin students graduated with a proficiency in math; 40.9% in reading, and the left’s COVID-19 response has only made these problems worse. 

Wisconsin students are not the only ones suffering; our country has seen a record decline in math scores, and history scores among middle school students "dropped to the lowest levels ever recorded."  Simply put, the Democrat Party is more focused on the Teacher Unions’ votes than providing quality education and ensuring

Wisconsin students have the tools necessary to succeed.

While the Democrats use our students as a bargaining chip to gain votes, Wisconsin Republicans recently reached across party-lines for a bill that will increase funding for K-12 education; multiple Democrats voted against this increase in funding. Maybe the Democrats should focus less on calling Republicans names and more on helping our students get a real education.

Along with this funding includes $30 million more for school mental health, $97 million more for special education, and a historic investment for school choice and charter programs among the largest increases since it was created by Former Governor Tommy Thompson. 

Reminder: Republicans' approach to education works.

Chairman Schimming delivered an important speech; calling for unity as Republicans gear up to take on the Biden-Harris administration in the 2024 election.

“Let’s send a message to the Democrats in the state that this party is unified, that we’re principled, and that in this cycle, 2024, we’re going to do what it takes, you and I, to fire Joe Biden as President of the United States,” said Schimming as he fired up the grassroots crowd.

With Wisconsin being one of the few crucial swing states, early voting will be a key factor that can lead to a Republican win. Schimming also emphasized the party’s determination to do everything within its power to secure more independent, minority, and youth voters in addition to the traditional Republican and conservative voting base.

With a wide field of presidential candidates to choose from, Republicans are confident in their options as the primary approaches. The Democrats on the other hand are stuck with the same disastrous incumbents.

Unable to join us?!

Did you miss it? This week has been quite the week for the untouchable Hunter Biden; new information revealed more damning allegations from multiple whistleblowers “describ[ing] how the Biden Justice Department intervened and overstepped in a campaign to protect the son of Joe Biden by delaying, divulging, and denying an ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged tax crimes.”

The Bidens' struck gold on their agreement with the Justice Department, Hunter Biden pled guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges — a deal an IRS whistleblower described as “special treatment.” In exchange for this plea, Hunter will not have to serve time for obtaining an illegal firearm – funny how the Democrats change their tune when one of their own improperly purchases a weapon. 

The White House is even commenting on Hunter, so it’s about time Mr.President also comments on the overwhelming evidence that shows that Biden knew about his family’s illegal activities. The millions and millions clearly go beyond Hunter Biden’s greasy business. Biden has a lot of questions to answer.. 

Republicans, including Senator Ron Johnson, will continue to expose the Biden family for their corruption and advocate for accountability. Under no circumstance will the Republican Party allow the Biden Family dealings to go unanswered

Did you miss it? WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming will be asking Republicans to “bank your vote” early for the next year and a half. 

Along with maximizing our turnout, the Republican Party along with the Republican National Committee will be working tirelessly to ensure Wisconsin voters have fair and transparent elections.

What can you do? In the next few months, we need as many folks as possible to sign up to be poll workers!

In Case You Missed It

Wisconsin Democrats Sweep Declining Math and Reading Scores Under the Rug; Wisconsin Republicans Take Action

Wisconsin students’ declining standardized test scores have been a major focus for Wisconsin Republicans who are prioritizing improving Wisconsin schools — data last fall revealed that fewer than half of Wisconsin students are proficient in English language and mathematics —  after Wisconsin Democrats’ kowtowed to Teachers Unions’, allowing school closures and excessive remote learning.  

ICYMI: Tammy Baldwin lives in glass houses, throws stones

Tammy Baldwin is seemingly unfamiliar with the saying, “those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. In case you missed it, career politician Baldwin’s  hypocritical rhetoric was on display again recently.  The politician who has spent her career living off taxpayers’ wallets recently took shots at a Wisconsin Republican businessman. 

The cold hard truth of the Biden-Baldwin agenda

Wisconsin Democrats met in Green Bay for their annual state convention. As Democrats gather to pat themselves on the back for Biden and Baldwin’s failures, Wisconsin residents are stuck holding the bag. The Wisconsin Democrat agenda is simply out of touch, and their failures have only made problems worse.

Southern Border Remains in Crisis

The Biden administration just announced 204,561 illegal immigrants were encountered at the southern border in May. That means monthly apprehensions have surpassed 150,000 for 27 straight months — the first time on record.

Pocan and Moore: Hypocrisy at its Best

Recently, Wisconsinites were rolling their eyes at the latest hyperbolic rants from two of Wisconsin’s most ineffective members of Congress, Democrats Gwen Moore and Mark Pocan: Last week, Mark Pocan and Gwen Moore were quick to turn on the theatrics — disingenuously screeching at Congressmen Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden for “allowing the GOP leadership to adjourn without a debt limit deal” in place
