Biden’s disgraceful withdrawal from Afghanistan

Rebecca Kleefisch has my endorsement for the next governor of Wisconsin

Rebecca Kleefisch became the first Lt. Governor to win a recall election on June 5, 2012. They went after her for the same reasons they went after me: we did not back down from doing what was right. Even though she had to stand for election on her own during that recall, Lt. Governor Kleefisch won with more votes than we had gathered during the normal election less than two years earlier. Voters saw that our common-sense reforms worked - and they are still working today. Published June 12, 2022
