Dem Milwaukee mayor, Wisconsin governor should ‘step up’ to help with RNC protest zone, says GOP Sen. Johnson
Wisconsin’s Republican US senator wants Milwaukee’s mayor to move the protest zone for next month’s RNC.
Sen. Ron Johnson was on UpFront on Milwaukee television over the weekend, and he said Mayor Cavalier Johnson and Gov. Tony Evers need to get involved and try to get the US Secret Service to move the RNC’s planned protest zone.
“I’d like to see Mayor Johnson step up to the plate or demand change as well. Again, this is in all of our best interests. Gov. Evers ought to be demanding change as well. As you know, obviously, the Republican Party we’re asking for this concern to be addressed,” Johnson said.
He called the protest zone’s placement in Pere Marquette Park, about a quarter of a mile from the Fiserv Forum convention site, “ridiculous.”
“I’m concerned about the US Secret Service now kind of digging their heels in right now,” Johnson said. “That has to be addressed. That has to be changed.”
Johnson and RNC planners have said for months that the protest zone is too close to the Republican National Convention site.
They worry that keeping the protest zone where it is will lead to unnecessary trouble.
Johnson said it’s in Milwaukee’s best interest to make sure there isn’t any trouble next month.
Milwaukee welcomes the Republican National Convention on July 15.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Former Wisconsin quarterback Braedyn Locke is headed to Arizona.
Locke announced his decision in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Friday, giving the Wildcats two veteran quarterbacks with Noah Fifita returning.
Locke sat out as a redshirt at Mississippi State in 2022 before throwing for 1,936 yards and 13 touchdowns with 10 interceptions for the Badgers last season.
Arizona will have a new-look offense with the addition of offensive coordinator Seth Doege, a disciple of late Texas Tech coach Mike Leach.
Fifita has been Arizona’s starter most of the past two seasons and announced earlier this month he would be returning to Tucson.
A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until noon today north of I-94 including Ozaukee, Washington, Dodge, Fond Du lac and Sheboygan counties.
There’s more fog this morning, but we are already seeing improvement from this time yesterday. Most areas south of I-94 have seen the snowpack disappear and there’s some slightly drier air leading to better visibility. A dense fog advisory continues north of I-94 where some snow is still on the ground causing that thick fog to stick around early today. It will improve in these areas too with winds picking up and snow continuing to melt.
Rain will be the other big story today with scattered showers in the morning becoming a steady rain in the afternoon and evening. About a quarter to half inch of rain will be likely, with areas west picking up the highest totals. Highs will hit the upper 40s today.
Low pressure will lift north Saturday giving us a mostly dry day outside of a lingering rain shower early. We might hit close to 50 in the morning but most of the day will be spent in the 40s. Another low pressure system will pass to our southeast on Sunday bringing just the small chance for rain, mainly towards the state line. A steady cooling trend will bring our temperatures back down to normal for the New Year.
FRIDAY: AM Fog/Drizzle, Rain Becoming Likely
High: 47
Wind: SE 10-20 mph
TONIGHT: Rain Likely, Breezy
Low: 44
Wind: SE 10-20 G 25 mph
SATURDAY: Mild, Slight Rain Chance Early, Mostly Cloudy
High: 50
SUNDAY: Mostly Cloudy, Slight Rain Chance South
High: 44
MONDAY: Mostly Cloudy
High: 43

MINNEAPOLIS — Authorities in western Wisconsin say a correctional officer died after a suspected drunk driver struck his vehicle on the morning of Christmas Eve.
The Dunn County Sheriff’s Office says Jeff Reynolds was driving westbound on U.S. Highway 29 around 2:44 a.m. on Tuesday when a driver in a northbound vehicle failed to stop at a stop sign on County Highway E, striking Reynolds’s vehicle.
Reynolds had been on his way to fill in a shift at the county jail at the time of the accident.
The suspected drunk driver, a 40-year-old man from Eau Claire, has been charged with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, the sheriff’s office says. He had his first court appearance on Thursday, where the judge set a $75,000 bond.
Three other people, including the suspect’s wife, were also injured in the crash.
The Dunn County Sheriff’s Office says Reynolds began his career there in 2007 and will be greatly missed.
The crash is under investigation by the Wisconsin State Patrol.
