Hesselbein Votes No to Republican Private Investigators
MADISON – Today, Speaker Robin Vos, Chair of the Committee on Assembly Organization, issued a paper ballot to members of the committee to approve or deny authorization to hire legal counsel and employ investigators. The ballot issued today is another Republican attempt to sow doubt about the 2020 presidential election.
Republican leadership frequently issues paper ballots in the committee, avoiding the opportunity for the public to comment on the matter. In addition to flouting government transparency, these ballots are often put forward to gain approval for the use of taxpayer money to fund private attorneys to take action on partisan political issues.
“We need to end the silliness and focus on Wisconsin issues. Republicans must stop propping up a sore loser’s fantasies, and get down to the business of governing. Wisconsin taxpayers will be the real losers—stuck with the bill for an absurd Republican private investigation.”

Governor Evers Demonstrates Strong Leadership During 2025 Budget Address
Feb 18th, 2025 by State Senate Democratic Leader Dianne HesselbeinIn stark contrast to President Donald Trump gutting federal funding for programs that support all people, creating economic uncertainty, and launching our nation into new chaos every day, Governor Evers, a steadfast leader in Wisconsin, delivered his 2025 Budget Address with a clear and responsible plan to uplift working people and provide certainty for Wisconsinites throughout our state.
Let me get this right; all the fruitless and basis-free investigations of Trump by the Left were acceptable, but this isn’t? Sure seems like more of tge “look away, nothing to see here” narrative of the Left- not surprising at all…
