I am voting NO on both of the election-related constitutional amendment questions on April 2, and I urge other members of Marathon County to do the same. No matter what race, background, or zip code, Wisconsinites know that voting is a fundamental right, yet a handful of politicians want to pass knee-jerk laws that affect the safety and security of our elections and will prevent voters from making their voices heard. The first constitutional amendment question would limit critical funding for our elections without any plan to make sure election administrators have the tools they need. I support fully funded and well-run elections. That is why I ...

We were so fortunate to present an informed discussion at UU Wausau this month. Dr. Edgar Francis shared with our audience the historical perspective on the Middle East.
