INTRODUCTION On March 5, 1985, Jane Bradley Pettit—along with her husband, Lloyd Pettit—announced that she was going to pay for the construction of a new sports arena, the Bradley Center, and donate it to the people of the State of Wisconsin so that they could enjoy and benefit from a state-of-the-art sports facility.1 The announcement was met with much enthusiasm, appreciation, and even marvel due to Mrs. Pettit’s incredible generosity.2 But few, if any, seemed to fully understand and appreciate how unique and extraordinary Mrs. Pettit’s gift was and would become. This lack of awareness was due to at least a few contextual factors. Up until the time of Mrs. Pettit’s announcement, the United States and Canada—where all of the teams in the four major profes- sional sports leagues played3—experienced only a modest number of new * Dean and Donald P.

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.

  • Representative Shirley Krug
    REPRESENTATIVE SHIRLEY KRUG WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE • ASSEMBLY DEMOCRATIC LEADER For Immediate Release Contact: Rep. Shirley Krug January 10, 2001 Phone: (608) 264-8658 GOP Front Group Leveled with Huge Fine Elections Board Cites Failure to Report Over $145,000 in Late Contributions (Madison) - Project Vote Informed, a shadowy, Republican front group which orches­ trated unprecedented neg~tive smear campaigns against Democratic Assembly candi­ dates in the November elections, was hit today with one of the largest fines in recent memory by the State Elections Board. Among the charges against Project Vote Informed (PVI) and its treasurer, long-time ) GOP operative Todd Rongstad, was the failure to report more than $145,000 in late contributions from the Republican Party of Wisconsin and others. Rongstad, who also organized the phony issue advocacy group Alliance for Working Wisconsin, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars raised by Republicans in an organ­ ized effort to defeat Assembly Democrats. Assembly Democratic Leader Shirley Krug (D-Milwaukee) said she was hopeful the $5,500 fine would be a warning to Republicans about blatantly disregarding campaign finance laws. "The failure of Todd Rongstad and the Republicans to successfully skirt the campaign laws of the State of Wisconsin is a victory for the people of Wisconsin," said Krug.
