John --
We hope you are excited for our
2022 State Convention! Here at the WisGOP, we have been busy preparing
for the annual event, in Middleton this year, while ramping up our
ground game efforts ahead of crucial elections in November. If you
would like to attend the convention on May 20-22, you can still
register here, or sign up here to join us by becoming a volunteer at the
local level.
Take a look at what we’re working
on at the Republican Party of Wisconsin below. As always, thanks for
all you do!
- Team WisGOP
We are less than 30 days out from
our WisGOP State Convention in Middleton on May 20-22! There is still
time to register for an action-packed weekend, where attendees will be
able to hear from leaders in the conservative movement, get to know
candidates for statewide office and elected officials, and help us
prepare ahead of November. Visit our convention website here to sign up before it’s too late!
This Earth Day, Democrats have used
the holiday to remind Wisconsinites of their accomplishments for the
environment – or lack thereof. Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate
Mandela Barnes claims to be an expert on environmental issues because
he chairs Tony Evers’ Climate Change Task Force. However, when asked
if any of his “55 concrete strategies” for addressing climate change
in Wisconsin had been successfully implemented, Barnes could not name
one. Conversely, under President Trump, Republicans proved that
protecting our earth doesn’t have to come at the expense of our
economic growth. Read more on our website here.

Friday afternoon vetoes have become
a hallmark of Tony Evers’ three years of “governing” – and this month,
Evers set a record for the governor with the most vetoes in state
history. Last Friday, Evers once again tried to veto critical
legislation under the radar, including a slew of education bills,
after he vetoed several public safety bills the week
before.
Some of Evers’ recent vetoes were
of bills that would have:
- Created
a Parental Bill of Rights
- Delivered school choice for all
- Established uniform standards for school accountability
reports
- Required
screening children’s reading abilities earlier and more often and
creating personalized reading plans for at-risk students
- Launched
a campaign to recruit more law enforcement officers
- Increased penalties for damaging historic buildings, statues,
and landmarks
- Ensured
that bad actors could not commit voter fraud in nursing
homes
- Clarified requirements for voters to mark themselves as
“indefinitely confined”
- Implemented talent attraction programs to help Wisconsin’s labor
shortage
Tony Evers doesn’t want
Wisconsinites to know that he doesn’t support law enforcement, wants
to hinder educational transparency, and won’t get behind commonsense
election integrity reforms that would make it harder to cheat. If
Evers wants to govern from the far-left fringe of his party, he should
at least be transparent about where he stands.

It…
At one point, Barnes said he
“needed” an “Abolish ICE” shirt from the Democratic Socialists of
America, but he’s now come to the recent realization that in order to
earn any votes in Wisconsin, he needs to care about border security.
Barnes’ election year hypocrisy was on full display last week, when he
said that he doesn’t want to lift Title 42 “simply because there’s not
a detailed plan in place so that we can keep asylum seekers and people
in the country safe.” This word salad response will remind voters of
his “no one slogan can capture all the work we have to do” explanation
for his previous “Abolish ICE” backtrack.
While Wisconsinites file their
federal returns on Tax Day, they have been reminded once again that
Wisconsin Democrats will raise taxes in Washington, D.C. if given the
chance. Democrat U.S. Senate candidates were unanimous in their
opposition to the tax cuts Senator Ron Johnson achieved for 95 percent
of businesses, even as citizens struggle under Joe Biden’s rising
inflation tax. The only possible conclusion to draw is that they would
repeal the tax cuts and increase taxes on the small businesses we rely
on to create jobs.
Tony Evers failed to meet the
moment during the height of the pandemic, and the repercussions are
still ongoing. According to the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s
Center for Research on the Wisconsin Economy, in February 2022 “nearly
seven percent of first unemployment payments were delayed more than
eight weeks,” despite low unemployment. This follows more than two
years of failure by Tony Evers’ Department of Workforce Development to
deliver unemployed Wisconsinites the benefits they were
promised.
