Odd-numbered years are the big ones in Madison. That’s when the real decisions are made.
The 132 members of the Wisconsin Assembly and Senate who will head to the Capitol this January will include at least 35 who have never before held office.
Our goal for the year ahead is this: Help the good ones succeed — and make sure all Wisconsinites receive the full picture of the issues (not just the liberal half of it) through research and stories that help them decide what sort of state they want to live in.
We’re asking you today to please help us achieve that with a tax-deductible donation to the Badger Institute.
We have a plan of action that we’re asking you to support as we head into the next legislative budget session.
Education:
Finding solutions to the teacher pipeline issue through research, storytelling, coalition-building, identification of policy reforms, and advocacy.
Energy:
Persuading legislators across the political spectrum to sign on to a resolution supporting openness to consideration of increased nuclear power generation.
Housing:
Measure housing affordability in different Wisconsin communities, illustrate the idiocy of rent control and big government subsidies, and focus on deregulation to increase supply and drive down cost.
Journalism:
Continue to be the conservative watchdogs in Madison and throughout the state — making sure that Wisconsinites have the facts and stories they can’t get anywhere else.
We will use our policy and journalism to help make sure everyone has an opportunity to prosper and live their lives as they choose.
If these issues matter to you, please donate to our impactful policy research, quick response analysis, stories, videos, coalition involvement, in-Capitol advocacy and investigative reporting.
