Kelda Roys, 39, is a small business owner, attorney, former state representative, and past head of NARAL Pro-Choice Wisconsin, who has been standing up for women and families throughout her career. In the Assembly, she stood out as an influential and effective lawmaker, delivering results for working families and helping lead the opposition to Governor Scott Walker’s divisive agenda. As the parent and stepparent of four girls, Roys will fight for paid family leave, affordable childcare, student debt relief, great schools, and healthcare for all. In a year in which Wisconsin voters are ready for change, Kelda Roys provides the clearest contrast to Scott Walker. |
21 attorneys general have joined a lawsuit urging blueprints for these guns not to be released, but not Schimel.
“Brad Schimel is so extreme, he can’t even say whether or not dangerous criminals should be able to print guns in their own home,” said Courtney Beyer, Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesperson. “Wisconsinites deserve to feel safe going about their daily lives, but Brad Schimel won’t even do the bare minimum to ensure this absurd and dangerous scenario doesn’t become a reality.""
Local governments faced with decreased shared revenue and Wisconsin Medicaid payments are hard pressed to combat addiction with community-based treatment alternatives instead of incarceration. Sen. Kathleen Vinehout describes the challenges and offers solutions.
Governor now finds it convenient to pretend to care about health care costs, but 7 years of sabotage of the ACA reveals that he has been more than willing to play politics with the lives of Wisconsinites.
Walker claims premiums are going down but they are rising by $1400, say Dems. People with pre-existing conditions or outside the health exchange still out of luck.
