.@MayorGenrich is wearing a Sterling Sharpe jersey for today's news conference with former #Packers coach Mike Holmgren.

"It didn't have to be this bad. It really didn't," Holmgren says of Trump's COVID-19 response. "He knew and he did not take action."
Holmgren says he's voted in every election but never been outspoken. Says he believes this is the most important elex of his lifetime and, since WI was so close in 2016, he thought he might be able to help Biden here.

"If I'm ever going to do this, this is the time to do it."
Asked about critics who say it's WI's fault there are no fans at GB games, @MayorGenrich: Trump has pitted govs against each other to compete for fed support. If he had been "sincerely interested in working w/ govs of both parties…things would have played out much differently."

Good evening from Milwaukee, where @michelsforgov is holding his election night party.

The Republican construction exec is challenging Dem Gov. @Tony4WI, who’s seeking a second term. It’s a dead heat race. Image
I'll be in Milwaukee at @michelsforgov's election night party, while @byjackkelly holds down the fort with @Tony4WI in Madison.

My election night snacks include water, two flavors of Red Bull, beef jerky, chips, almonds, chocolate and a sammich.

According to Lafayette County Board member Kriss Marion, a resolution has been introduced that, among other things, says media that print info from a press release about a water quality study — but not the WHOLE press release — "will be prosecuted."

@Kriss4Wisconsin There's obviously a lot going on here but I'm so hung up on any local government official thinking they can "prosecute" media for not printing an entire press release

Good morning! It's a busy day in Wisconsin's beautiful state Capitol. So many things happening. For starters, @GovWalker will light this Christmas tree at noon. But wait! There's more!
Last night, the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee voted to approve bills that would narrow Wisconsin's early voting window and strip away some powers from the executive branch and attorney general. Here's @katelynferral's story on the committee vote: madison.com/ct/news/local/…
Today, both the Assembly and Senate will be in to vote on those bills. Here's a story from @MollyBeck and @patrickdmarley previewing the day's votes, with reaction from @GovWalker and Gov-elect @Tony4WI: jsonline.com/story/news/pol…

.@repmarkpocan says if @SpeakerVos “does get too clever … I’ll come back from D.C and do what I have to.”

.@repmarkpocan names priorities for House Democrats:

🔸Access to health care/prescription drug pricing
🔸Minimum wage
🔸Infrastructure
🔸Election/campaign finance/ethics reform
.@repmarkpocan says @NancyPelosi committed to give more committee representation to Progressive Caucus. “I am waiting to have a personal conversation with her before I announce any decision … I would say the odds are that Nancy Pelosi is the next Speaker at this point.”
