Proud conservative fighting to make Wisconsin more competitive by reducing the size of government.

[Scott Kelly @TheScottKelly]

Even more clueless - WI is STILL funding 2/3 of school cost.

[Robin Vos @repvos]

This is how clueless most liberals are. Before Evers veto creating 400 year property tax hikes, WI already funded 2/3 of school costs with state resources...

[Jud Lounsbury @JudLounsbury]

Crowley has pledged to return Wisconsin to the Tommy Thompson model of 2/3 state funding for public schools. That will return to property tax levels back to relatively lower levels Wisconsinites enjoyed under Thompson's tenure... which was also pre-Act 10!

[Patrick McIlheran @PaddyMacMke]

And lest you think Act 10 somehow “starved” schools, remember that on a per-child basis, Wisconsin’s school districts have never had so much taxpayer revenue as now:

Wisconsin too.

[Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens]

State level Republicans quite literally do everything in their power to ensure they hand off a thriving economy and balanced budget to Democrats when the time comes for their state to flip Blue.

They did it in Virginia, they’re currently doing it in Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas, and they’ll inevitably do it piece by piece to the rest of the country unless these people start losing primaries in droves.

Anyone who still thinks politics is nothing more than a question of economic administration will inevitably be voted out of office. The question is whether it’s their own base or the Left who ultimately finishes the job.

[Chad Doran @doranchad]

Crowley campaigned as Republican-lite, because Dems have learned that conservative policies are what the majority of voters want. But he will govern as a radical leftist from day 1, absolutely rubber-stamping policies that will drive up costs on Wisconsinites.

[Gregory Jon @gregoryjon]

The average Wisconsin homeowner could see $1,000 in additional property taxes statewide in a post-Act 10 reality. https://t.co/Ec1Jogvyj6

[JR in the 414 @JR_inthe_414]

Hey Wisconsin!! So, remember all that talk by Democrats, about affordability and lowering costs?

Well, the Democrat-appointed Public Service Commission is raising your utility rates another 15% today.

Enjoy!! #wipolitics

[David D. Chapman @DavidD_Chapman]

According to the CNN & NBC Exit polls, there was no major Republican defection.

Independents swung hard like in 2006.
And it did help the Generic Ballot was around D+14. Democrat turnout was insane.

Despite the narrative, there was no major Republican defections.

[The Badger Pundit 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 @JamesBohnWI]

Crowley and the Democrats are going to take Wisconsin back to its rust belt days:

- high taxes
- stagnant economy
- no school choice
- the teachers union running everything

[Robin Vos @repvos]

@AdamJarchow Thank you Adam. I feel the same way about you. Don't agree with you on every issue, but love the fact that you're next to me in the foxhole as we battle our way back against the socialists

[tedfrank @tedfrank]

It seemed very permanently over in 2008, and Republicans took back the House two years later and the Senate in 2014.

[Lenny Bronner @lennybronner]

Todays story is that Democrats showed up as if this were a presidential election... and Republicans didn't

[Sgt. Mark Fusetti (Retired) @MarkFusetti]

Don’t jump off the bridge Republicans. Let me map out the next 2 years. The Dems will go full throttle on Trump and ignore the American people. Absolutely nothing will get better for anyone. In 2028 the voters will say we gave you a chance Dems and you blew. Republicans will sweep 2028. Bookmark this

A little election night perspective 🇺🇸

Democrats lost 63 House seats and 6 Senate seats in 2010. Two years later, Obama won reelection.

Politics is a pendulum. You win some, you lose some. The sky isn't falling, folks! 🇺🇸

[Robin Vos @repvos]

Wisconsin voters have spoken, and Democrats will hold a governing trifecta for the first time in nearly two decades. Governor-elect David Crowley, Assembly Minority Leader Greta Neubauer, and Senate Minority Leader Dianne Hesselbein will set the agenda in Madison.

I congratulate them on their victory.

For years, Wisconsin has thrived under an approach that made important investments while also reducing the tax burden. That balance delivered economic growth, fiscal responsibility, and opportunity for families and job creators. Republicans remain committed to those same principles: lower costs, a lighter tax burden, and an economy that expands opportunity rather than government.

Democrats spent the campaign promising lower costs and relief for families while offering few specifics. Their records tell a clearer story. Under Crowley, Milwaukee County nearly doubled its sales tax and raised property-tax levies in five of his six years. He has argued higher taxes are not a burden. Hold on to your wallets. With full control of state government, that approach is now on track to become statewide policy.

The new Democratic leadership also lacks any real private-sector experience. Crowley built his career in campaign organizing and political staff work. Neubauer and Hesselbein have the same resume. They know politics. Being good at politics will mean paying back their powerful political allies.

Republicans know what it takes to support a family or grow a small business, and we will keep that perspective front and center.

Over the next two years, I know Republicans will stand firmly with the taxpayers and job creators who built Wisconsin’s success. Conservatives will offer constructive alternatives, demand accountability, and make sure voters can see the difference between growing government and growing opportunity.

Many newly elected Democrats presented themselves as moderates; their leadership team has a different agenda.

Wisconsin’s strengths—our workforce, our communities, and our tradition of common-sense governance—are durable. Republicans will work every day to protect those strengths, highlight what is working, and prepare for the moment when voters again choose balance and results over one-party control.

The next two years will test our resolve. They will also clarify the choice ahead. We are ready for both.

[Kelly McCarty @KellyLMcCarty]

The Republicans were crushed in the 1974 midterms. Reagan later delivered a speech explaining why:

♦️ “The meaning of the last election will not be found among those who voted. It will be found among those who stayed home—the biggest non-voter bloc in our nation’s history. And why did they stay home? Well, because they said they couldn’t see any difference between the two parties.”♦️

There’s a lesson in that worth remembering. You can’t win voters by simply telling them how bad the other side is. You have to give them a compelling reason to vote for you. Stand for something. Be bold, unapologetically conservative, offer a clear contrast, and most importantly, deliver on the promises you campaigned on. Voters need to see a real difference, not just hear about one.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

The pattern is unmistakable.

Every time the government tries to spend to make something more affordable, it just raises the cost.

Look at this chart every time a socialist promises they will spend their way out of our affordability crisis.

[Jeremy Wayne Tate @JeremyTate41]

I am speechless. Thomas Aquinas College just dropped a study on the rigor of the new SAT.

It compares the 1980/87 test with 2026. The findings should terrify every parent and teacher...

Vocabulary has collapsed.

Old SAT: 70.6% of questions tested vocab.
New SAT: 15%.

The old test forced students to know a wide range of words through analogies, antonyms, and sentence completions. The new test abandoned that. Most vocab questions now just ask students to fill in one blank from context.

Reading passages also got radically shorter (average ~97 words vs 300–340).

The new test uses short expository passages and hands you the necessary background knowledge inside the text. The older tests leaned much more heavily on argumentative and persuasive writing, assumed far more historical, scientific, and cultural knowledge, and penalized students who lacked it.

This is a redefinition of what "college readiness" means.

If you believe that kids should develop rigorous vocabulary, be capable of sustained reading, and possess background knowledge, I have bad news for you. The SAT no longer measures these.

If you want a future where children can actually read difficult texts and construct complex arguments, the SAT must be replaced now.

This cannot go on.

[Dittrich4WI @Dittrich4WI]

This apology was disgusting. And again, God's word tells us to pray for ALL those in authority. (1 Timothy 2:1-4) It doesn't put conditions on whether we agree with them or not.
