HONORING OUR MILITARY

This week we honored our Marines on their 246^th birthday and all who have served in every military branch on Veterans Day.

LEGISLATIVE MAPS PASSED

17 Democrats joined Republicans in overwhelmingly rejecting Gov. Evers’ unconstitutional “People’s Maps Commission Maps,” most notably decried by minority community members. As Gov. Evers has already signaled that he will veto the maps passed by the Legislature, state statute now dictates that the Court will decide our new congressional and legislative maps. Stay tuned for any updates on progress through the courts.

LAB REPORT AND HEARING

The Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) is responsible for ensuring compliance with state and federal election laws, and county and municipal clerks administer elections. Statutes require WEC to provide training and guidance to municipal clerks in the state’s 1,849 municipalities. Statutes also require WEC to design and maintain the state’s electronic voter registration system, which is known as WisVote, and approve electronic voting equipment before it can be used in Wisconsin.

AFFIRMING CHOICE IN EMPLOYMENT OPTIONS

Yesterday, Rep. Dittrich was so grateful to be able to honor people with unique abilities through the passage of SJR69, recognizing Employment Choice First as a means to preserve the dignity, self-esteem, and pride of individuals with disabilities in Wisconsin. Her friends from A-Team Wisconsin were there to celebrate the occasion.

EMPOWERING PARENTS TO CHOOSE

The Assembly Committee on Mental Health heard testimony on AB 600 (drafted by Rep. Dittrich), which will allow parents to open enroll their student under the Wisconsin School Choice program should their district suddenly change course on masks or vaccines. This is an important step forward for educational freedom, which parents have been demanding with increasing measure over the past 2 years.

APPRENTICESHIP BILL SIGNED INTO LAW

Wisconsin’s next school report cards will give parents and students more information about the trades in general as well as learning a skill. Gov. Tony Evers on Friday signed an apprenticeship plan, known as AB 220, into law. The new law will expose a new generation of kids to new opportunities.

WHEN THINGS DO NOT WORK AS THEY SHOULD

Tony Evers has now activated 500 National Guard troops deploying to Kenosha awaiting a verdict in the Rittenhouse trial. Remember, 1,500 were requested by the County Board. Evers initially sent 125 back in the summer of 2020 and then eventually another 500 after the Rittenhouse debacle. The responsibility for this lies squarely at his feet. Had Evers acted with strength when he should have, we would not be where we are today.
