Republicans keep grip on Legislature despite Democratic spending spree

Wisconsin Democrats were flush with cash in the 2020 election cycle. Billionaire liberals like Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and other super rich donors used a loophole in Wisconsin campaign finance law to dump money into the coffers of the Democratic Party, which routed a considerable chunk of contributions to state legislative candidates. More favorable to Democrats in the last election, the loophole allowed four Democratic candidates and one Republican to destroy the previous record for most cash raised for a Wisconsin state legislative race. Each candidate brought in at least $1 million, most of it from their party. A seat in the state Senate pays an annual salary of $53,000.

Outgoing legislators call for more civility, less politics

EAU CLAIRE — The COVID-19 pandemic made 2020 a difficult final year of service for all three of west-central Wisconsin’s outgoing state legislators, but the frustration felt by Sen. Patty Schachtner was intensely personal. Not only did Schachtner, a Somerset Democrat, see the dark side of the pandemic daily in her other job as medical examiner for St. Croix County, but this fall the virus hit her family hard. The toll began with a sister-in-law, brother-in-law, sister and niece testing positive and ended when her father, Richard Rivard, came down with the virus. The 88-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran, who was a resident at Hammond Health Services, died from COVID-19 on Nov. 14.
