Matt Burch, the Republican candidate for Sauk County sheriff, should debate his opponent, Ryan Jesberger. Jesberger has posted on social media that he asked for a debate several times in the last six weeks, but has been ignored by Burch.

With the upcoming election, and with the results of the 2020 election still denied by many Republicans, the election of 1800 comes to mind. That year, Alexander Hamilton chose to support Thomas Jefferson, a member of an opposing party, over fellow Federalist Aaron Burr.
I recently attended a town hall meeting in Wisconsin Dells about the proposed 765-kilovolt transmission line cutting a scar through the Driftless Area, one of the most important geological treasures in Wisconsin and North America, driven partly by data center demand.
Three Republican-proposed constitutional amendments are on the Nov. 3 ballot. All three deserve a “no” vote. But let's focus on one amendment:
Midcontinent Grid Solutions would like to construct a 765-kilovolt transmission line in Wisconsin.
We need to elect as governor Nov. 3 the candidate with experience solving problems for the one-sixth of Wisconsinites living in Milwaukee County.
U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Prairie du Chien, failed to fight for us when he voted for the 2025 tax bill, the so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill." It gave tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations by slashing Medicaid funding by $1 trillion.
The midterm elections may be the only chance we get to change the direction of this country.
Do we understand what socialism is?
Fearing that innocent bystanders may be hurt during a chase, the Madison Police Department only allows its officers to pursue drivers suspected of committing a violent felony. In contrast, the Monona Police Department offers officers much more discretion to pursue anyone suspected of committing a crime -- even into neighboring communities.
The control of both the executive and legislative branches by Republicans in Washington has accelerated a deeply concerning decline in our nation’s foundational systems and global standing.
Fusion voting, as presented in the recent column "How fusion voting works," makes no sense. It requires the creation of numerous small political parties which then fuse together in alliances to support candidates. Third parties are difficult to create and obtain ballot access, even if there were interest, which is doubtful.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the recent articles about Sept. 11, 2001, in the newspaper. It truly gives one a moment to remember where they were at 8 a.m. on that day and all those who lost their lives. It also gave us a moment to remember the many families that were affected that day and how many are still being affected even today.
I would like to thank our state Rep. Karen DeSanto, D-Baraboo, who recently posted on social media, "I do not support the current proposal from Midcontinent Grid Solutions (MGS)."
I urge all voters to say "no," "no" and "no" to the three constitutional amendments on the ballot this Nov. 3.
The governor of Wisconsin has one of the most powerful veto pens in the country. But a constitutional amendment would limit that power, forbidding the governor from using his veto to increase spending. The measure was prompted by Gov. Tony Evers using his veto to allow 400 years of increased school spending.
Today's Trump Republicans remind me of those in the South after Reconstruction who blocked access to the ballot box.
Midterm elections are approaching, and political messaging is intensifying — on flyers, billboards and social media — as incumbents fight to keep their seats and challengers make their case. In the noise, substance gets lost.
Vice President JD Vance called Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed “evil.”
Trump is fiddling while
our great nation burns
