Term limits for legislators date back to Colonial America and a long time prior to that. While our current Constitution doesn’t address the issue, earlier governing documents did. In contemporary America, major efforts for term limits blossomed in the early 1990s. An August 1994 policy paper from the Heritage Foundation titled “Term Limits: The Only Way to Clean Up Congress” had a couple of key takeaways probably as appropriate today as they were over thirty years ago.
Like millions of hard working Americans, I'm not afraid to put in extra hours at work to provide for my family. For the longest time, the heavy hand of the government was allowed to swoop in and tax overtime income. To me, that's sanctioned robbery.
As we approach county fair season, it's important to highlight the wins we secured in the 2025-2027 state budget for the agriculture community.
Agriculture is a crucial part of Wisconsin, with the Ag industry contributing over $116 billion each year to our state's economy. Farmers play an important part in taking care of our land and water, so it's critical we continue to invest in agriculture to keep our natural resources healthy for the future.
This year, Assembly Republicans helped secure over $20m for our farmers and the Ag industry as a whole, including:
A strong infrastructure system is key to ensuring that Wisconsin can remain competitive for decades to come.
With that in mind, I found it important to push for the inclusion of approximately $90 million in the 2025-27 capital budget for the renovation and addition project at Sentry Hall, the future home of the Sentry School of Business and Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
We had a fantastic time at our LEAD Wisconsin camp last week! We say it every year, but we think this was our best camp yet.
Over 125 campers joined us for an action-packed week of political and biblical exploration. They were sworn into their offices in either the Assembly, Senate, Media, or Business track on Sunday, and learned more every day about those positions. They went through biblical worldview sessions, hosted a mock press conference, and participated in a mock public hearing at the Capitol.
The conversation revolves around support for Congressman Van Orden, emphasizing his commitment to truth and traditional American values. The discussion highlights the importance of common sense in politics, the role of local communities and farmers, and critiques of media misinformation. Economic insights and government spending are also explored, with a focus on the need for fiscal responsibility and community support.
As Chairman of the House Veterans’ Affairs Economic Opportunity Subcommittee, I applaud the Senate’s passage of my bill, H.R. 1815 - the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act.
In the weeks following the passage of the state budget, I have been reflecting on how our work supported various sectors of Wisconsin’s economy or different segments of our population. I have met with many local leaders to tell them about all the great things this budget does to help their community and our region. While much of the budget has a statewide impact, I wanted to dedicate this column to the items that I think will especially help the 17th Senate District.
Telegram readers know that I have been leading the charge to get the United States out of the corrupt World Health Organization (WHO) for years now—and for good reason.
Under the Biden administration, there was a dangerous plan to surrender America’s pandemic policy to unelected global bureaucrats by signing on to the WHO’s pandemic treaty without ever going through Congress.
