At RNC, Wisconsin GOP leaders tell delegates to have a seat
With great power comes great responsibility. Sometimes, that means just taking a seat.
Republican delegates from Wisconsin — one of the nation’s premier swing states and host of the Republican National Convention — occupy prime real estate on the floor of the Fiserv Forum. Because of that, sometimes they get camera time, whether they want it or not.
On Tuesday, there were times when cameras captured open seats, for Wisconsin’s delegations and others. According to Wisconsin RNC committee member Tom Schreibel, former President Donald Trump’s people took notice.

“They were mad last night,” Schreibel told delegates at their daily delegation breakfast. “Because it just wasn’t us … it was a lot of delegations.”
Wisconsin has 41 Republican delegates. Former Wisconsin Republican Party Chair Paul Farrow said if any of them had to leave their seats for long, they could let one of 38 alternate delegates take their place. Republicans said that at one point, there were 23 open chairs.
“It’s our responsibility to be in the chairs,” Farrow said. “If you’re not there tonight, I’m not letting you have your delegation tag tomorrow.”
Schreibel said he was “wearing the mic” that goes directly to Trump’s people, which is how he heard about their concerns.
“This is a highly produced movie that we’re a part of. Very highly produced,” Schreibel said. “This is for the nation. For us to shine. So we have to be in our seats to have this movie pulled off.”
The stakes are higher on the last two nights of the convention. On Wednesday evening, Ohio U.S. Sen. JD Vance is scheduled to give his first address since being named Trump’s vice presidential nominee. Trump will give his address to the convention Thursday.

A better life is in sight for dozens of dogs.
PAWS Chicago welcomed 25 beagles from a massive rescue operation on Saturday.
Last week, more than a thousand dogs were rescued from Ridglan Farms in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, after weeks of protests over their treatment of the dogs. Ridglan Farms agreed to sell 1,500 of the facility’s roughly 2,000 beagles, which were then transferred to rescue organizations across the country, including PAWS Chicago.
Celene Mielcarek, PAWS Chicago chief program officer, explained what’s next for the dogs as they begin their new lives.
“These beagles have lived their lives in isolation. They’ve lived their lives in cages inside. We’re going to make sure that they are healthy. They’re each going to get tucked in by a volunteer into warm bedding. They’re each going to get a yummy dinner tonight, and they’re going to start that new chapter of their life,” she said.
She says it will take some time for the beagles to get used to being dogs and understanding what it’s like to live in a home. To help with that, they will be sent to experienced foster homes that will help them understand human connection.
Once the beagles are ready, they’ll head to the PAWS Chicago Lincoln Park adoption center to meet their forever family.
(WLUK) — Just two days after he met with the FBI and Secret Service, Minocqua Brewing Company owner Kirk Bangstad has entered the Wisconsin governor’s race.
Bangstad made the announcement this afternoon during an event that was posted on the company’s Facebook page.
He says he wanted someone to “stand up to Trump” and that his main concerns is “saving our democracy.”
Bangstad also shared his dissatisfaction with the current group of candidates for the crowded Democratic primary later this year
“I never wanted to do this,” Bangstad said. “At least I’m part of the conversation that I feel like everybody needs to be hearing right now.”
The brewing company owner was under fire this week after he posted “well, we almost got #freebeerday” shortly after the latest assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.
Bangstad has been a outspoken critic of the president. His company currently has a promotion promising free beer on the day Trump dies, which has drawn heavy criticism in the past.
In addition, his company sells merchandise that’s critical of the president, including t-shirts that read “I wish it was free beer day at Minocqua Brewing Company” and “Is he dead yet?”
Bangstad did not share if he would be aiming for a partisan endorsement, or the status of various required documents to enter the race.
He previously ran for a seat in the 34th District of the Wisconsin Assembly in 2020, but did not win the race. The Democratic Party of Wisconsin did donate to that campaign.
The Democratic primary is up in the air, with several state legislators and officials already in the race.
These include State Rep. Francesca Hong, former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez, and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley.
On the Republican side, U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany is the front-runner, following an endorsement from President Trump that led to Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann dropping out of the race.
