  • Feingold Dems' Best Shot for Kohl Senate Seat
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 24, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Feingold Dems’ best shot for Kohl Senate seat Raleigh, N.C. – Despite being upset by first-time candidate Ron Johnson last fall, Russ Feingold is poised for a strong comeback to electoral politics in Wisconsin’s other Senate seat, if he chooses to run. With Herb Kohl’s recent retirement announcement, a number of candidates on both sides are considering bids in what could be one of the hottest Senate races in the country, and a tougher one for Democrats to hold than had Kohl run for another term. But while Democrats have a slight upper hand in the early going, no matter their candidate, their strongest choice would be Feingold, particularly against the most well-known Republican, former Governor Tommy Thompson. In February, Kohl was leading any of the Republicans PPP tested against him by seven to 15 points, and in December, led Thompson by nine. Now Thompson tops Rep. Tammy Baldwin by one and former Rep. Steve Kagen by three, and ties Rep. Ron Kind. But Feingold puts him away by ten points, 52-42. Feingold is better liked than Thompson by independents and has better numbers within his own party, so he wins with independents, 49-40, and earns 91% of Democrats’ votes and loses only 5% to Thompson, while taking 8% of Republicans and keeping Thompson at 87%. Feingold and Thompson are the heavy-hitters at the outset of this formative open-seat race, both known by well over 80% of voters, better than the 57% who have an opinion of Attorney General J.B.

  • Ed Garvey, Leader of N.F.L. Players' Union, Dies at 76
    3/8/2017 Ed Garvey, Leader of N.F.L. Players’ Union, Dies at 76 ­ The New York Times https://nyti.ms/2lxojG9 PRO FOOTBALL Ed Garvey, Leader of N.F.L. Players’ Union, Dies at 76 By RICHARD SANDOMIR FEB. 22, 2017 Ed Garvey, who led the National Football League players’ union to two strikes during a dozen years as its executive director and later became a progressive political activist and officeseeker in his native Wisconsin, died on Wednesday in Verona, Wis. He was 76. The union confirmed his death. Mr. Garvey joined the N.F.L. Players Association in 1971 seeking to bring economic and social freedom to players who had experienced little of either in the era before free agency. Atop his wish list was eliminating a rule, named for the league’s commissioner, Pete Rozelle, that restricted the ability of a player, once his contract was over, to sign with another franchise by requiring his new team to compensate his old team with players or draft choices. If teams could not agree on compensation, Mr. Rozelle determined it. “In 1974, we struck over that: ‘no freedom, no football,’” Mr. Garvey said in 2010 during an interview on “I Remember,” a public television program in Milwaukee. The summertime strike ended in early August, and the players instead 9 Get up to 40% off The Time ucription of our choice.

  • Thompson and Neumann Closing on Even Feingold in WI-Sen
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 18, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Thompson and Neumann closing on even Feingold in WI-Sen. Raleigh, N.C. – Yesterday’s release showed Tommy Thompson as potentially very vulnerable to a challenge from his right by Mark Neumann for the Republican Senate nomination in Wisconsin. But despite Thompson’s electability claims, even Neumann is in decent shape against any possible Democratic nominee but Russ Feingold, as the race has taken a definite turn toward the GOP since PPP last polled the state in May. Now Neumann tops Ron Kind, 43-40; Tammy Baldwin, 44-40; and Steve Kagen, 45-38, while trailing Feingold, 51-44. Three months ago, Neumann lagged Kagen by one point, Kind by four, Baldwin by five, and Feingold by 12, a shift of five to nine points on the margin. Thompson is still the stronger candidate, but he only outperforms Neumann by one to six points—not so much, particularly when taking into consideration the 34-point disparity between the two men’s name recognition. Thompson lags Feingold only 48-47, a closure of nine points in three months. But he leads Kind, 48-41 (up seven); Baldwin, 50-42 (up seven); and Kagen, 49-41 (up five). Feingold is still the best-known and best-liked of the candidates, 49% having a favorable impression of him and 43% a negative one. That bests Thompson’s 44-42, Baldwin’s 26- 28, Neumann’s 25-27, Kind’s 18-26, and Kagen’s 12-23.

Sen. Welch has repeatedly spent hdsfiom his nonfederal campmgn account for the purpose of benefiting his federal campaign, in violation of federal law. These new violations are in addition to the violation that was the subject of a previous complaint filed by the Democratic Party of Wisconsin on August 7,2003. In that instance, Sen. Welch also improperly used nonfederal campaign funds to benefit his federal campaign, purchasing radio advertisements outside his state Senate district shortly before he filed his FEC Statement of Candidacy for the United States Senate. See FEC Matter Under Review 5387. Sen. Welch’s actions are a clear violation of the Federal Election Campaip.
