There's a Christmas Tree in the Capitol after all!
This year, the Governor decided that there was to be no Christmas tree in the Capitol. Some of us in the Wisconsin Assembly GOP thought that was a horrible idea, so we decided to put our own up.
Rep. Sortwell from Two Rivers (far left) and I hatched the idea to put up our own tree. Rep. Dave Murphy (middle left) and Rep. Chuck Wichgers (far right) also helped decorate it.

Christmas is a most important time of the year for many of us. Hundreds of staffers in the Capitol love Christmas, and we wanted to put up a tree for them to enjoy.
This year has also been horrible for many people. We wanted this tree to be something everyone can look forward to seeing and have a sense of hope.
Every year kids in Wisconsin look forward to making hand-made ornaments to decorate the Christmas tree. This tree gives kids throughout Wisconsin the opportunity to make their own ornaments and send them to our offices to decorate the tree.
