John --
It’s a busy time at the Republican
Party of Wisconsin! We are excited to be approaching our annual state
convention on May 20-22, as well as local elections on April
5!
These past two years have reminded
us just how important our local elected officials are. From divisive
curriculum in our schools to extended mask mandates, it’s time to
stand up and fight back against far-left policies in our communities.
If you are interested in volunteering to support local conservative
candidates, there is still time to sign up on our website here.
As always, thanks for all you
do!

This week, the Republican Party of Wisconsin mourns the loss of
Lieutenant Governor Margaret Farrow, who served as Wisconsin’s first
female lieutenant governor and previously served in the State Assembly
and Senate. Lieutenant Governor Farrow was a staunch conservative and
a trailblazer for women in politics, and she will be dearly missed. We
ask that you join us in prayer for her family, including her son
Chairman Paul Farrow. You can read her obituary here.
An article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel looking back at her life
can be found here.

MacIver Institute is exposing the far-left policies of Mandela
Barnes that the mainstream media won’t report. In addition to his
abysmal record on crime and radical environmental policies that would
hurt Wisconsin farmers and workers, Barnes’ hypocrisy is on full
display on issues like education – including his opposition to school
choice, despite the fact that he attended a private school. You can
read more here.

for our room block at our 2022 State Convention in Middleton from May
20-22! Rooms are still available at the Madison Marriott West.

This week, Republicans appealed Tony Evers’ gerrymandered maps that
were recently adopted by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Evers’ maps
received criticism
by members of his own party for his efforts to dilute minority votes –
hurting communities of interest that are protected under the Voting
Rights Act. Meanwhile, these maps combine the districts of Republican
incumbents and move leaders like Senator Dale Kooyenga out of his
district. It’s the kind of result expected from maps that were drawn
in secret and without public input, after he spent years railing
against such a process. Read more from Empower Wisconsin here.

In Case You Missed
It…
Amid historic violence in Milwaukee and across the state, Tony
Evers is dismissing victims of crime and refusing to answer questions
on cash bail. Last week, Evers referenced his “busy schedule” when
telling WKOW’s Capital City Sunday that he can’t recall meeting with
crime victims – and in the same breath dodged questions on whether he
agrees with Mandela Barnes’ mission to abolish cash bail across the
country.
Joe Biden’s public relations stop in Superior only exemplifies why
his approval ratings are plummeting – he’s too busy planning photo-ops
to focus on the issues that matter. Amid his attacks on mining,
threats to pipelines like Line 5 and halting of Keystone XL, and
failure to continue American energy independence, no amount of
photo-ops will stop rural Wisconsinites from leaving the Democrat
Party in droves.
Mandela Barnes is still leaving much to be desired with his
qualifications for the U.S. Senate. Despite the fact that Barnes touts
his experience as chairman of Tony Evers’ Climate Change Task Force,
at a recent event, Barnes couldn’t name a single task force proposal
that has been implemented – a reminder of the reality that Barnes has
actually accomplished next to nothing.
