Letters To The Editor

Richard Broach, Delavan
The looming midterm elections fill me with dread. Dread means a fear that something bad is about to happen. When 120 Republican candidates for public office across the nation publicly and outrightly support the claim that the 2020 election was stolen despite official government investigations and 61 court cases that proved the contrary, I fear for the life of truth as a value and a virtue.

Leigh Barker Cheesebro, Helenville
When you vote on Nov. 8, or before, picture the community, state and country you want for your grandchildren.

Larry Clausius, Jefferson
I am a resident of the City of Jefferson. I would like to express my sincere concern over the obscene political sign in front of a home on Main Street in Jefferson.

Jill Kessenich, Fort Atkinson
It takes more than a million people working the polls to make American elections run smoothly. Between retirements and concerns about COVID, tens of thousands of poll workers have left the job over the past several election cycles. 

Diane King, Fort Atkinson
Tim Michels only understands investing when it benefits him. Please vote for Governor Evers. He will continue to lift up our schools, rather than tear them down. 

Jim Marousis, Fort Atkinson
Tim Michels still questions the results of the 2020 election in Wisconsin, even after Trump’s lawyers filed 61 lawsuits nationwide, winning only one.

Margaret Krolikowski, Jefferson
Don has served three terms in the Assembly from the 43rd district.  Recent redistricting now has him in the 33rd district. Don has canvassed the City of Jefferson this past summer in an effort to get to know his new constituents, I appreciate the effort.

Richard Broach, Delavan
Tim Michels, the GOP Gubernatorial nominee, revealed his education agenda that is a laundry list of the radical education talking points. First, he wants to defund public schools. Second, he wants to use those funds to support private schools. Third, he wants to politicize the classroom and school districts…

Leslie DeMuth, Lake Mills
Our rights and freedoms are on the ballot. After decades of struggle and protest, American women finally earned the right to vote – 102 years ago. But Republican lawmakers want to turn back the clock to 1849, when Wisconsin women had almost no rights.

Bill and Sue Chandler, Whitewater
Republicans continue to shift funding from public schools to private schools. Taxpayers should not be forced to subsidize tuition paid by private school parents.  Inequity widens when private schools choose whom they want to admit, while public schools, with a dwindling budget, must teach everyone.
