  • January 7Th, 2021 DELIVERED ELECTRONICALLY Vice President
    January 7th, 2021 DELIVERED ELECTRONICALLY Vice President Pence: The events of January 6th, 2021 will be remembered as a dark day in American history. What the country, and the world, witnessed was insurrection. Rather than accepting the results of a free and fair election, extremists stormed the United States Capitol in an attempt to overturn President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ victory. These were not the organic actions of a few extreme supporters. It was a siege orchestrated and encouraged by the president to throw chaos into our democratic institutions in a desperate attempt to cling to power. Let us be clear, as long as President Trump is in office, the future of our republic is in danger. Every leader in our nation must stand up and acknowledge that now is the hour we must draw the line in the sand and remove President Trump from office before further damage is done. We also want to acknowledge the work being done by the Democratic members of Wisconsin’s Congressional delegation in their support for our nation’s laws and the principles of our democracy. Since November, the president has promoted conspiracy theories, lied countless times about the results of the election, and pursued legal action to overturn the will of the people. This culminated with yesterday’s actions at the Capitol with individuals determined to cause harm in a domestic terror attack on the most significant symbol of our system of self-government. Those responsible must be held to account under federal law. Today, we are calling on you to use your authority as Vice President to invoke the 25th Amendment immediately to ensure a peaceful transition of power and to save our nation.

  • Rep. Scott Allen (608) 266-8580
    For Immediate Release June 25, 2020 Contact: Rep. Scott Allen (608) 266-8580 Protection of Public Property Yesterday, Rep. Allen and legislative colleagues sent the following letter to Governor Tony Evers advocating for the protection of State property: June 24, 2020 The Honorable Tony Evers Office of the Governor Room 115 East, State Capitol Madison WI, 53702 Governor Evers, As you know, protests in the City of Madison again turned violent yesterday evening. Sen. Tim Carpenter was violently attacked. State property honoring an abolitionist and Wisconsin’s progressive history was destroyed. During the last several weeks, cities across Wisconsin and the country have seen violence erupt stemming in part from a significant injustice. As expressed by members of the legislature in a previous letter to you dated June 5, 2020, individuals have every right to participate in a peaceful protest as protected by the First Amendment, however, they do not have the right to destroy property, and inflict damage upon the People’s House, the State Capitol. We as members of the legislature, representing the people of Wisconsin, request that you authorize Capitol Police to provide adequate protection to any and all State assets that may be affected by violence. Absent the requested mobilization of police protection, we request that State-owned assets including but not limited to, artwork, statues, fixtures and anything that cannot be properly secured be physically removed from the State Capitol and state owned buildings and be stored safely, until a time of peace or a time when your administration can work out an effective asset protection plan.

Through your dedication, engagement, and financial support, families across the state have new and important protections that will improve their health and the environment. In this era of constant attacks on our environmental protections, often a win for the environment means preventing anti-conservation bills from getting to the Senate or Assembly floor for a vote – which leaves no record of legislators who fought to stop the bill. There is often no public record of how legislators voted due to frequent voice votes. And, legislators who champion the environment often can’t even get a hearing or a vote on their bills.

Bruce King — Government Affairs Director So why, with our 20 year involvement in state Supreme Court races is WRA involving itself in Court of Appeals races? First, like cases in front of the Supreme Court, court of appeals decisions have statewide impact. Opinions are binding on all circuit courts and courts of appeals throughout Wisconsin. And because any case can be automatically ap- pealed to the court of appeals, the court decides many appeals, many of which involve issues impacting the real estate industry like land use, zoning, legal title, contracts, fi- nancing, foreclosure and liability.

  • Standing Committees for the 101 St Wisconsin State Legislature Will Have Bipartisan Leadership
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 4, 2012 For Further Information Contact: Rep. Robin Vos (608) 266-9171 SPEAKER-ELECT VOS ANNOUNCES COMMITTEE CHAIR ASSIGNMENTS The new speaker makes history by establishing two committees with bipartisan chairs. Madison …In an unprecedented move, Speaker-elect Robin Vos announced that two of the Assembly standing committees for the 101 st Wisconsin State Legislature will have bipartisan leadership. “Legislative committees are where most of the heavy lifting is done in creating legislation. I think that it’s important that we have a bipartisan approach on some key issues,” said Speaker-elect Vos. Rep. Travis Tranel (R-Cuba City) and Rep. Leon Young (D-Milwaukee) will chair the State and Federal Relations Committee. Rep. Chris Kapenga (R-Delafield) and Rep. Jill Billings (D-LaCrosse) will chair the Constitution and Ethics Committee. “The State and Federal Relations Committee was created in an attempt to maximize our ability to work together to find savings for taxpayers,” said Speaker-elect Vos. “The Constitution and Ethics Committee will work to find a bipartisan consensus when clarifying and amending the state’s ethics laws.” According to the Legislative Reference Bureau, it has been nearly 20 years since an Assembly standing committee had leaders from each party. In 1995-1996, Speaker David Prosser appointed Rep. Annette “Polly” Williams, a Milwaukee Democrat, as chair of the Urban Education Committee. i “I’m confident that the leaders of all the Assembly committees are ready to work across the aisle and make the tough decisions to address the issues facing our state,” said Speaker-elect Vos.
