Republican Party of Wisconsin Convention, the Good, the Bad, the Ugly, mostly Good this year!

Kudos to my friend John Righeimer, Chairman of Sawyer County Republican Party, recently John was quoted on Fox News Digital talking candidates for President 2024.  John has also been a guest on the Meg Ellefson Radio show, WSAU, out of Wausau. John has done a great job helping build a coalition across the northern part of Wisconsin, the 7th Congressional District, home of Congressman Tom Tiffany, and working with many to help Republican candidates win in areas they have not for years!  We talk about how the State Convention went, we share that we were both impressed by Speaker Robin Vos, and that Brian Schimming, RPW State Chairman did a fantastic job, as well as Congressman VanOrden; all in all it was a positive convention and we are on our way to 2024!
