Wisconsin friends, We need to vote on Tuesday.
I am not telling you who to vote for.. but do your research.
I will tell you that I think Heather Amos for St. Croix County Circuit Judge, and Jill Underly for State Secretary of Education are good choices.

Trump fired the head of FAA and put a Fox News host in place, and put a hiring freeze on all air traffic personnel and people are scratching their heads about why there have been so many crashes.
