Coulee conservatives must communicate! But, what does that mean? Word by word, coulee is a region in western Wisconsin defined as La Crosse county and all of Monroe and Vernon counties. One reference had “Trempealeau County often included” while another stated that parts of Trempealeau and Jackson counties were included.
Across America, liberal politicians with naive, dangerous agendas are prioritizing the feelings of criminals over justice for victims and the protection of our communities. With President Donald Trump set to return to the White House in a few short days, President Joe Biden and the progressive staff around him spent their final weeks abusing the pardon and commutation powers.
The new legislative session is in full swing at the State Capitol! Legislation is being introduced, I’m meeting with stakeholders about their priorities, and committees are beginning their work. Recently, both the Senate and Assembly passed Senate Joint Resolution (SJR) 2. SJR 2 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would enshrine into the Constitution current state law that requires voters to show a photo ID before voting. The next step for this proposed amendment is to go directly to the voters in April.
It is my priority to make sure voting in Wisconsin is easy and secure. This week, we advanced a constitutional amendment to do just that.

There was a Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act and 158 Democrats voted against it last September. Wisconsin Democrat Representatives, Mark Pocan and Gwen Moore, were two of them.
It’s simple: Biological men shouldn’t be competing in girls’ sports. Just last week, a federal district court judge rejected President Biden’s continuous unlawful attempts to rewrite Title IX that would have allowed biological men into women’s sports and private spaces, like locker rooms. This should never happen – women and girls’ sports and spaces must be protected
Wisconsin, our beloved state, holds a significant place in the history of school choice. It was here that the first school choice program in the United States, the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, was established in 1989 under the visionary leadership of Governor Thompson. This rich legacy is something we can all take pride in.
Observers of initiative process in California, Michigan point out problems with process embraced by Evers
Would laws based on public petition campaigns and referendums do a better job of giving Wisconsin citizens a voice in legislation? Not necessarily, say observers in other states that have the process.
“It’s not direct democracy, really,” said Lance Christensen, a long-time legislative consultant and budget analyst in California. “It’s more of an oligarchy or plutocracy.”
