GOP Wisconsin lawmaker announces run for Mike Gallagher's House seat
A Republican state senator announced Monday that he will run for an open congressional seat representing northeastern Wisconsin.
Andre Jacque of De Pere announced Monday that he will run for the 8th Congressional District seat being vacated by Mike Gallagher. Gallagher abruptly announced last month he won’t seek re-election after he angered his fellow Republicans by refusing to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Jacque was first elected to the state Assembly in 2010. He has served in the state Senate representing northeastern Wisconsin’s 1st District since 2018 and has built a reputation as a staunch conservative. He doesn’t face re-election in the state Senate until 2026. If he wins the congressional seat he would have to vacate his Senate position next January when he’s sworn into Congress.

The Paramore frontwoman appears to be mapping out tour dates behind her 2025 solo album, ‘Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.’
Hayley Williams will soon have a date with Detroit.
The Paramore frontwoman’s website was updated Saturday with a list of cities underneath the header, “cu_soon.jpg.”
Detroit was one of 28 cities listed on the itinerary, along with Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati, Raleigh and Los Angeles, and a handful of South American cities.
Over the course of the last week, Williams, 37, has been slowly rolling out dates on her latest solo tour, which comes on the heels of her 2025 solo album “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.” An earlier round of touring behind the project did not include a Detroit date.
The singer’s last local visit came when Paramore played Little Caesars Arena in June 2023.

Sheriff: Driver of stolen vehicle flees traffic stop in St. Paul, hits State Patrol car in Minneapolis
The driver of a stolen car fled a traffic stop Friday night in St. Paul before crashing into a Minnesota State Patrol car in Minneapolis, according to the Ramsey County sheriff’s office.
A Ramsey County sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop the stolen Hyundai sedan at about 10:30 p.m. in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul. The driver fled and crossed the Ford Parkway Bridge into Minneapolis before the deputy lost sight of the vehicle and ended the pursuit, according to the sheriff’s office.
The suspect was then observed driving recklessly and ran a stop sign at West 46th Street and Aldrich Avenue South at 80 mph. The vehicle collided with a State Patrol squad car, causing significant injuries to the trooper and passengers in the stolen vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.
The 19-year-old suspect was quickly arrested after attempting to flee on foot. The driver has two prior arrests for fleeing police and is being held at the Ramsey County jail, according to the sheriff’s office.
Police say the same vehicle was involved in a pursuit Thursday night in the west metro, during which it reportedly swerved at emergency vehicles but did not hit them.
