Republicans at the Wisconsin Capitol are demanding answers and demanding changes after an explosive report on how some teachers are allowed to walk away from grooming investigations.

Sen. John Jagler, R-Watertown, and Sen. Romaine Quinn, R-Birchwood, who head the Senate’s Committee on Education on Thursday sent a letter to State Superintendent Jill Underly demanding answers after the Cap Times reported that 200 teachers have been investigated for grooming or sexual misconduct, and were in many cases allowed to keep their teaching licenses.

A recent page 2 article in the weekly THE EPOCH TIMES headlined “Civics Education Gains Ground in K-12 and Higher Education” caught my attention. The second paragraph really caught my interest: ”An Oct.6 research report from the North Carolina-based James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal notes that every state except Alaska, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin requires completion of a civics course for high school graduation.”

As the spring election approaches on April 7, 2026, I want to reach out to my fellow sportsmen and women across Wisconsin to highlight the importance of participating in this pivotal moment for our state.

We have completed three weeks of federal government shutdown. The House has passed a CR (continuing resolution) that will continue spending the same as it was during September. It will last for seven weeks (to allow time for debate on the next year's budget) The Senate has not passed it. It requires 60 yes votes to cut off debate. Democrats refuse to vote yes until the CR is amended to include funds that have been cut. The number we hear is 1.5 Trillion dollars to get seven weeks of open government.

Illness does not discriminate – it affects people from all walks of life, including mothers, sons, co-workers, neighbors, friends and loved ones. While there are often medications that doctors can prescribe to help combat diseases and ailments, many come with side effects that can make living a normal life much more difficult.

Great news! The Local Government Innovation Grant Program is up and running. The first application for the program was recorded yesterday, as the Village of Kewaskum and the City of West Bend work to consolidate their EMS departments. This program was signed into law last session and works to incentivize local governments who find efficiencies and consolidate services for the long-term benefit of the taxpayer.
