I just re-submitted a formal complaint to the Wisconsin Ethics Commission after research revealed potentially thousands of violations of ethics laws by state Representative Steve Doyle tied to his work as a private attorney providing legal services directly to state lobbying organizations, something that state ethics law prohibits.

The audit’s findings are a blistering testament to MPS's gross mismanagement of resources, the educational hardship and struggles faced by Milwaukee students, and the blind eye turned by DPI under Jill Underly.

Restoring public trust in the state’s largest district is crucial. I applaud Governor Evers for taking swift action to order this audit which Superintendent Underly should have done months ago. With the achievement gap growing annually in Wisconsin and only five percent of Black students proficient in reading, a plan to fix MPS’s institutional failures is long overdue.

There is a statewide election this Tuesday, February 18. Every voter in Wisconsin will have the opportunity to vote for their preferred candidate for Superintendent of the Department of Public Instruction (DPI). Voters can only vote for one candidate. The top two vote-getters will move on to the general election on April 1.

Some communities may also have primaries for races such as mayor, city council, school board, or others. We'd like to encourage you to find out what is on your ballot before you go to the polls. You can see your sample ballot at myvote.wi.gov.

The first subpoena I issued as the new chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations was to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for records relating to COVID-19 vaccine safety data and communications about the COVID-19 pandemic, including Dr. Anthony Fauci’s emails.
