Over the weekend in Rothschild, WI, the Republican Party of Wisconsin held their annual convention. When asked why conservative candidates have been losing in our state’s supreme court races, Congressman Derrick Van Orden responded that “Republicans don’t vote in Spring elections.” He went as far as to say that we should get rid of Spring elections in their entirety, folding everything into the Fall ballot. RPW Chairman Brian Schimming was asked if he agrees with Van Orden, and his response was hilarious. 

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys joins us once again in-studio to cover the latest developments from the Joint Finance Committee’s budget negotiations. The bottom line is that, as we’ve come to expect, extreme partisanship is largely blocking all progress in formulating a budget. From childcare to education and beyond, Sen. Roys walks us through the investments she believes will help drive Wisconsin forward.
