John --
It’s been an exciting couple of
weeks here at the Republican Party of Wisconsin! The results of the
Virginia gubernatorial election sent a positive message about the
conservative movement that is growing across the country --
representing a sound rejection of Democrats’ failed
policies.
We need to harness the organic
energy that’s happening across America. At the WisGOP, we are
encouraging Wisconsinites to get involved by serving as poll workers,
volunteering, and making connections with their county parties to help
send Tony Evers packing next year. You can sign up to get involved
here!

November 2nd's election night was a
total rejection of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats’ big
government, socialist agenda. Major Republican wins in Virginia and
elsewhere and the close race in deep blue New Jersey show that
Americans are tired of Democrats’ government overreach, divisive
policies, and agenda that has burdened hardworking families. In these
races, Republicans focused on issues that matter to families and
voters in all communities: education, keeping our communities safe,
rising prices, and bringing back jobs.
Following the stunning victories
across the country, the WisGOP held a press call to share our
perspective on the positive signal that Virginia sent to Republicans
in Wisconsin ahead of our crucial elections in 2022. You can read more
about it in the Racine Journal Times here.
In one of his most humiliating
failures in his nearly three years as governor, Tony Evers’ “Fair
Maps” were rejected in a stunning bipartisan rebuke of his leadership.
Before 17 Democrats including Assembly Minority Leader Gordon Hintz
voted against the maps, several Democrats blasted the maps as “a
perversion of justice,” a “con,” and “stealing minority representation
rights.”
Democrats have finally figured out
what Republicans have known all along: Tony Evers’ Liberal Maps
Commission has been a sham from the beginning. Evers never wanted fair
maps; he wanted maps that tilted the scales in Democrats’ favor. The
result was maps that failed through every step of the process — from
their failure to abide by the Voting Rights Act, to their
disenfranchisement of about 523,000 Wisconsinites who would be left
representation in the State Senate two years. You can read more about
it in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel here.

Republicans in the Legislature
recently held hearings to discuss the Legislative Audit Bureau
report on the 2020 election. The report found
numerous issues with the Wisconsin Elections Commission’s failure to
follow the law. WEC’s commissioners couldn’t make the appearance,
although the highly partisan chairwoman Ann Jacobs found time to
appear on the radio to bash the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau.
You can read more about WEC’s efforts to cover for their vast failures
in 2020 here.
In 2020, Derrick Van Orden gave Ron
Kind the toughest fight of his political life. It’s no surprise that
the National Republican Congressional Campaign committee announced Van
Orden as one of the first round of candidates admitted to their Young
Guns program, a program that has a record of success in helping
Republican candidates get elected to the House of Representatives.
Watch Fox News’ coverage of the announcement here.

It…
Dan O’Donnell reported that Josh Kaul is dismissing legitimate
allegations of fraud as “not an issue of statewide concern” — yet his
staff at the DOJ’s Division of Criminal Investigation disagree and
want to launch a statewide investigation. According to one source,
“agents at DCI are more than willing to work election fraud
investigations,” and the Racine County allegations could fall under
the purview of elder abuse cases that the department is already
investigating.
One year from Election Day, Democrats are already bracing
themselves for the next round of the red wave that is sweeping the
nation. Recent election results show that voters have had enough of
Democrat leadership, and major Republican wins in nearly every corner
of the country show Americans are ready for a change. Meanwhile,
Democrats like Tony Evers run visionless campaigns that focus on
running against Republicans in the Legislature while simultaneously
taking credit for their accomplishments.
Failed “education governor” Tony Evers attempted to quietly veto a
bipartisan education bill. This comes as recent DPI data quantified
Evers’ failure to support kids, revealing that English language arts
proficiency is down by over 16 percent, math proficiency is down by
over 20 percent, and just 8 percent of Black students are proficient
in math after Evers failed to lead on reopening schools. Meanwhile,
Wisconsin’s education system has been flooded with over $5 billion in
federal and state support in recent years. Evers has spent more time
grandstanding about funding to make headlines than presenting real
solutions to benefit students.
