Bart Simpson – Public Enemy #1

On March 1, 2011 By

While this has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Whatsoever to do with the Scott Walker prank phone call! SO do not even ask, because it is totally UNRELATED.

Much to my delight, State Rep. Mark Honadel (R-South Milwaukee) has a viable Democratic challenger in the 21st Assembly District, in the form of Oak Creek Common Council President Tom Michalski.

Plale gets a challenger for 2010, still no Democrat in the 21st

On December 27, 2009 By

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 on [...]

In Brief: 2010 election musings

On October 3, 2009 By

After some speculation that he was interested in running, State Rep. Brett Davis (R-Oregon) has registered as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor.

On May 31, 2009 By

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 [...]
