  • Speaker Robin Vos: (608) 266-9171 Majority Leader Jim Steineke
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 13, 2021 For more information: Speaker Robin Vos: (608) 266-9171 Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu: (608) 266-2056 Majority Leader Jim Steineke: (608) 266-2401 President Chris Kapenga: (608) 266-9174 Rep. Tyler August: (608) 266-1190 Sen. Dan Feyen: (608) 266-5300 Rep. Mark Born: (608) 266-2540 Sen. Howard Marklein: (608) 266-0703 Legislative Republican Leaders Respond to Special Session Request Madison…Legislative Republican leaders call on Governor Evers to take ownership of the problems with the Unemployment Insurance (UI) system. Legislative audits have shown the major issues with the backlog at the Department of Workforce Development (DWD) during the pandemic were not due to an old computer system but rather mismanagement of the agency itself. In addition, a new Legislative Fiscal Bureau memo states that the Evers administration has the authority to initiate these IT upgrades on its own. “Governor Evers continues to cast blame on others and accepts little fault himself,” said Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester). “We are always open to passing necessary legislation, but unfortunately, this Special Session call is about politics; not about policy.” "Governor Evers already has the funding and tools he needs to fix the problems at DWD," said Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu (R-Oostburg). "Now, instead of effectively using his resources, he's scrambling to shift blame while people are still left waiting." “We are unfortunately seeing the same song and dance from Governor Evers that we’ve come to expect: a lack of leadership,” said Majority Leader Jim Steineke (R-Kaukauna). “The governor has consistently slapped down the legislature’s extended hand to address the unemployment backlog, and now is trying to pass the buck when ownership of the UI failure is both needed and warranted.” “The Governor calling us into a Special Session is pure political grandstanding,” said Rep.

  • Wisconsin State Legislature Decreases License Suspension for Non Safety-Related Monetary Judgements
    For Immediate Release: February 18, 2016 Contact: Nichole Yunk Todd, 414-343-3581, [email protected] WISCONSIN STATE LEGISLATURE DECREASES LICENSE SUSPENSION FOR NON SAFETY-RELATED MONETARY JUDGEMENTS Madison, WI – Today, the Wisconsin State Assembly approved a bipartisan measure that will change the maximum length of a driver’s license suspension for failure to pay a forfeiture (“FPF”) from two years to one. The bill passed in the state senate earlier this month and is now headed to Governor Walker. According to Wisconsin Department of Transportation data, FPF suspensions represent nearly 60% of all reasons for license suspension or revocation in the state at over 235,000. The second highest category is only 12%. Two-year FPF suspensions are longer than many safety-related suspensions, including first and second offense Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), reckless driving, and the accumulation of over 31 demerit points within just one year. The courts will still collect what they are owed as defendants who have monetary judgements earn income. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue collected over $21 million dollars for the courts in 2014 through its efficient Tax Refund Intercept Program (TRIP). The authors of the bill include Senators Jerry Petrowski (R-Marathon) and Nikiya Harris Dodd (D- Milwaukee) and Representatives John Spiros (R-Marshfield) and Cory Mason (D- Racine). Senator Petrowski championed the effort: “This common sense bill will help make sure people can get to work so they can pay their debts and continue to support themselves and their families.” The bill was also endorsed by key system stakeholders as a way to better focus our limited resources, including the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association, Wisconsin Trial Judges Association, Wisconsin District Attorneys Association, Wisconsin Public Defender, and Wisconsin Insurance Alliance.

  • Contacting Your Legislators
    Contacting Your Legislators Communicate with your legislature and let them know what issues are important to you and how their decisions will impact your life. Here are some tips for effectively communicating with your legislature: Write or give your name and address. Write or call about one bill or subject at a time. Have the name and/or number of legislation you are interested in. Be concise and to the point when calling or writing. Be courteous when calling or writing. Commend the legislator when possible. First, ask the legislator to support or oppose the legislation or subject you are calling or writing about. Give your own opinion in your own words. Stay away from form letters and postcards. Give reasons for your opinions and share opinions of organizations you may belong to. Request that the legislator let you know their opinion on the issue. If you receive a generic, non-committal letter, respond to your legislator and ask again for their position. Federal Legislators U. S.

This was the largest class of women legislators in state history. Women now hold 31 percent of the seats in the Wlegislature. Previously, the largest number of women to serve in a session was 37, a num- ber reached in the 1989 and 2003 sessions. Including those serving in the senate and the assembly today, a total of 152 women have now been seated in the Wisconsin Legislature. Among all states, Wisconsin currently has the 22nd-highest proportion of women serv- ing in its legislature.1 This paper celebrates the service, achievements, and leadership of Wisconsin women legislators. Women in the assembly When Mildred Barber, Helen Brooks, and Helen Thompson took office in January 1925 as “assemblymen”—members of the assembly were formally renamed “representatives” in 1969 2—they became the first women to serve in the Wisconsin Legislature. Until the 1970s, no more than three women at a time served in the assembly, and during some sessions, no women served in the assembly at all.3 Of the 31 women elected to serve in 2021–22, 10 are in their first session.
