Last update: 3 hours ago

Midterms Messaging: House GOP leader Mike Johnson launched a “Contrast for America” website arguing young voters weren’t taught the “truth” about socialism and communism, as he heads into the 2026 midterm push. Attorney General Race: Republican Eric Toney campaigned in Eau Claire for Wisconsin AG, stressing public safety and faster turnaround at state crime labs. Dem Turnout Surge: An AP report says Wisconsin Democrats cast nearly 800,000 ballots in the primary—highest midterm total in 20+ years—fueling optimism for November. Governor General-Election Stakes: Crowley’s comeback after the Democratic primary is driving a new phase of campaigning, including attacks and messaging over data centers and energy. Legislative Action (Bills): The Senate advanced AB913 (tax subtraction for National Guard/reserve pay) and AB957 (more funding for Internet crimes against children enforcement); the Assembly advanced AB961 (explicit content warning labels) and AB131 (PFAS programs). Public Safety: DNR says helmet and seatbelt nonuse are leading causes in Wisconsin’s deadly ATV/UTV crashes, with the state leading the nation in fatalities. Economy/Taxes: Wisconsin collected $2.9B in selective sales and gross receipts taxes in 2024, per Census data. Energy Prices: Milwaukee County’s lowest midgrade price hit $3.85/gal, while E85 lows reached $2.49/gal.
