It appears State Senator Jeff Plale, who represents State Senate District 7, will have at least one Republican challenger in 2010, in the form of Milwaukee attorney Jess Ripp. Ripp’s campaign website (what little there is) is full of standard Republican talking points, so it’s safe to assume Ripp is firmly entrenched as [...]

After some speculation that he was interested in running, State Rep. Brett Davis (R-Oregon) has registered as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. As a moderate Republican (hard to believe there is still such a thing), Davis might have a hard time gaining support from a Republican establishment that seems to have veered far [...]

Milwaukee County Supervisor Pat Jursik, who has previously suggested turning I-94 from the Milwaukee/Racine county line to the state line into a toll road to pay for the cost of redecking the Hoan Bridge, has made it clear she’s not interested in studying any alternatives to redecking the Hoan (emphasis mine):
Matt Hintze, an HNTB vice [...]

While it’s obviously still very early in the race, Republican State Representative Mark Honadel of the 21st Assembly District will have at least one challenger for his seat in 2010. However, the lone challenger to register as a candidate isn’t a Democrat – it’s Republican Jason Scott Komorowski of Oak Creek. I’m attempting [...]

Earlier this week, I wrote about a rumor State Representative Mark Honadel might be retiring after his current term in office expires; however it appears that rumor is false, as Rep. Honadel himself explained:
It was brought to my attention that a rumor was published on this website saying that I may not run for re-election [...]

Two anonymous sources have indicated to me Rep. Mark Honadel of the 21st Assembly District will not run for reelection in 2010. While this rumor hasn’t been confirmed by Rep. Honadel, it would certainly throw an interesting wrinkle into the 2010 race in the 21st District. If Rep. Honadel does in fact retire [...]

Alexis and I spent today in Madison at the Capitol, where we joined hundreds of fellow AFSCME brothers and sisters to speak to our legislators. The highlight of the day for Alexis was probably when she got to sit behind Rep. Mark Honadel’s desk, while the highlight for me was meeting Sen. Jeff Plale [...]

That’s a question being asked in the village of North Prairie, where no one has taken out the papers to run for Village President in the April 2009 election. I’ve not seen an update to this story, so I don’t know if anyone filed late for Village President, but barring a name on the [...]
