Holding Republicans Accountable

Republicans Cannot Justify the Reckless Spending

In past newsletters I’ve pointed out that even though republican candidates in Wisconsin consistently campaign on the promise that they will “fight” for lower taxes, less government, less spending etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, they don’t come close to living up to these promises. I also pointed out that the proof is in the pudding. They are either voting against bloated budgets or they are not. Right now, in the Assembly, only Janel Brandtjen has voted no on multiple budgets and both Scott Allen (2017) and Rick Gundrum (2019) has voted no on one. Other than that, every assembly republican has voted for every budget that has been put in front of them.

As most of you are aware, I have a personal project call “We’ve Had Enough” that is looking to find and support candidates to run against these republicans who say one thing at the conservative events in their districts and then go to Madison and giveaway YOUR representation to Robin Vos.

The chart below says it all and nothing more really needs to be said. Why is Robin Vos willing to spend this kind of taxpayer money? I’ve outlined that in past newsletters. The road builders, the Hospital Assoc, the teachers’ union, Planned Parenthood, the University system (the list goes on and on) all have deep pockets and are willing to pay to play. Where do you think Vos got a million for his own re-election campaign? Every lobbyist in the state was knocking on doors for him. Why? YOU KNOW WHY!

Look at the spending that was done under republican leadership! “Republicans” if that is what you want to call them, have had HUGE majorities in the legislature for the ENTIRE time that the chart below addresses. Not one penny was “forced upon them” this is ALL REPUBLICAN spending. Ask yourself this question – HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH?
