  • [DELIVERED ELECTRONICALLY] Dear Chair Swearingen, Vice-Chair
    April 1, 2021 [DELIVERED ELECTRONICALLY] Dear Chair Swearingen, Vice-Chair Vorpagel, and members of legislative leadership: We are writing to request a public hearing on Assembly Bill 88 in the Committee on State Affairs as soon as possible. Assembly Bill 88 would enact a statewide mask mandate in Wisconsin. With yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling striking down the statewide mask mandate, Wisconsin no longer has any statewide public health orders in place. While our state has continued to shine as a leader in vaccine administration, the Department of Health Services has projected that we will not reach herd immunity until June 2021. With new, more transmissible variants of COVID-19 circulating, now is not the time to let up. During the debate on Senate Joint Resolution 3, a resolution to end the public health emergency, some proponents of the resolution stated that this was "not about masks" but rather regarding "executive overreach." If this is true, prove it. Hold a public hearing on legislation to enact a statewide mask mandate. Give the public health experts, scientists, and physicians the opportunity to weigh in. Allow the public to testify. Senate Joint Resolution 3 passed with bipartisan opposition and no opportunity for the public to weigh in at a public hearing. Now that there is no statewide public health emergency or mask order in Wisconsin, a bipartisan conversation on the benefits of masks during a pandemic is urgent. We welcome your response and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further. Sincerely, Jimmy Anderson

  • Wisconsin Legislature P
    WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE P. O. Box 7882 Madison, WI 53707-7882 October 13, 2020 – Delivered Electronically Scott Fitzgerald Senate Majority Leader Robin Vos Speaker of the Assembly Due to an unprecedented increase in absentee ballot requests, and in order to ensure timely reporting of Wisconsin’s election results this November, we call on the Wisconsin State Legislature to meet in extraordinary session as soon as practicable to pass legislation allowing the canvassing of absentee ballots before the statutory timeline of 7am on Tuesday, November 3rd. As of Monday morning, October 12th, just over three weeks until the election, 1,334,041 absentee ballots have been requested and 683,233 have been returned. Our local clerks need extra time to process these ballots if we are to have any hope of reporting results within 24 hours of poll closing at 8pm on Tuesday, November 3rd. Election integrity is of utmost concern for voters in Wisconsin, and the longer the count takes, the more potential for mistrust in results to be fomented by those who mean harm to our democracy. It is worth noting that the vast majority of states allow at least some processing of absentee ballots before Election Day, while only 9 states prohibit any sort of pre-election day processing as Wisconsin currently does. A bipartisan bill, SB 574, was introduced in November of 2019 that would make the change requested here. In a recent interview, United States Senator Ron Johnson indicated his support for allowing canvassing of absentee ballots prior to Election Day when he said this: "I think we should change the law so the ballots can be counted well before Election Day, so that Wisconsin results are known by 9, 10, 11 o'clock on Election Day, so Wisconsin isn't part of the problem” Our democracy is of utmost importance, and this simple change is not only eminently necessary but also has bipartisan support.
