I write today with a heart both heavy with loss and full of gratitude, reflecting on the remarkable life and enduring goodness of Charlie Kirk. In a world often marked by division and haste, Charlie was a rare beacon of sincerity and compassion. His passing has left an indelible void in our community, one that can only be measured by the countless lives he touched through his words, actions, and unwavering sense of purpose.

I’m sure by now you have heard the heartbreaking news of Charlie Kirk’s senseless assassination yesterday. Like you, our team is in shock and sickened by this tragedy.

Charlie has been a friend of our ministry and will be greatly missed. He would often come to our LEAD Wisconsin biblical worldview camp. For many campers, the highlight of the week was personally meeting Charlie and taking their picture with him.

As kids around the state go back to school, activity in the Capitol is beginning to ramp up. Committees are meeting, constituents are visiting my office, and bills continue to make their way through the legislative process.

Our local police officers put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe, and work hard to build trust with community members. Many of you have heard of the Civilian Review Board (CRB) that has been created and supported by the La Crosse County Board. This group is an unelected group of individuals in our community without policing experience playing armchair quarterback. The CRB rather than helping, was designed ostensibly to collect complaints about police and divert people from directly reporting concerns through the proper channels.
