WILL Interviews Rep. Mike Gallagher on the COVID-19 Crisis Congressman Mike Gallagher joined WILL Director of Communication Collin Roth for a conversation about the coronavirus pandemic, how to think about re-opening our economy, the state and federal response, and more. Watch the full interview here. On the tension between rights and safety “Ultimately, I think, the tension can only go so far. In other words, I think there are limits, particularly in a state like Wisconsin… we jealously guard our natural rights. I do think if pushed much further, this would induce some social unrest. I think a flashpoint could be the election on April 7. Right? I understand the health concerns with physically allowing people to go vote. But when you start restricting people’s right to go out and vote in person, because not everyone may be able to get an absentee ballot and do other things. That’s a very difficult thing to justify.” On Governor Tony Evers’ leadership during the crisis “I think the governor and leaders need to – if they’re asking Wisconsinites to sacrifice – at least show us what is the light at the end of this tunnel. I think Wisconsinites are prepared to sacrifice if you give them a theory of victory. Right now we’re just in this fetal position. It feels like we’re on defense. And I don’t like that feeling.” On when we’ll know we can transition to the next phase of the COVID-19 crisis “Until we get testing where we need it to be, we won’t know. I mean, we’re fighting blind right now…Until will can use technology to collect data and use that to improve our sense of what’s going on, we’re going to be wildly throwing everything at this effort without any sense of knowing whether what we’re doing is working.” Watch the full interview with Congressman Gallagher here.
