Former Wisconsin governor reflects on memories of Jimmy Carter, discusses his legacy
The nation is remembering and mourning the passing of former President Jimmy Carter.
Carter’s path to the presidency in the 1970s included stops in Wisconsin, where he met former Governor Marty Schreiber along the way.
Schreiber describes President Carter as down-to-earth, with a passion for serving others.
But he tells TMJ4’s Chief Political Reporter Charles Benson about one moment at the White House with the president that forever stands out in his mind.
Schreiber has met many people during his lifelong journey in and around politics.
“The first time I met Jimmy Carter was in Wisconsin. He came by to visit and spent really a day in Wisconsin,” recalls Schreiber.
You could say Schreiber became governor thanks to Jimmy Carter, when Carter appointed then-Governor Pat Lucey as Ambassador to Mexico.
“What was so impressive about him is his ability to have sort of a direct contact with people, sort of reaching their heart and soul, just with a smile,” said Schreiber.

But one moment stands out above them all: a dinner for governors at the White House.
“Jimmy Carter asked Elaine to dance. And I’ll tell you, it was quite something to see my wife with the President of the United States. And there was the Marine Corps Band.”
Schreiber writes about it in his book about his wife’s battle with Alzheimer’s.

Benson: What do you remember about that photo? I can see the smile on your face already.
Schreiber: Well, first of all, it’s hard to look at it without having so many flashes, so many memories flash through my mind for the beauty of my wife, Elaine.
The exact details of what was said or how it happened have faded, but the memory is still powerful.
Schreiber knows Carter’s time in office was filled with challenges and setbacks, including high gas prices, record inflation, the Iran hostage crisis, and a failed rescue attempt—all for historians to sort out.
“But there’s another chapter, and that’s Jimmy Carter after the election,” stressed Schreiber.
“I don’t think we ever had a president who did so much with a passion to help things become better, out of office.”
The Jimmy Carter that Governor Schreiber remembers stands out for his humanitarian work around the world and here in Milwaukee with Habitat for Humanity, plus a post-presidency Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
Schreiber believes that is Carter’s indisputable legacy.
“Bringing peace among nations, making our world more aware of hunger and homelessness, a passion, of wanting to do everything that he could in his power to make this nation, this world, a better place to live.”

Wisconsin man accused of setting fire to congressman’s office over TikTok ban gets 7 years in prison
MADISON, Wis. — A Wisconsin man who allegedly told police he tried to set fire to a Republican congressman’s office last year because he was angry that the lawmaker backed a bill requiring TikTok’s Chinese owner to sell off its U.S. operations was sentenced Thursday to seven years in prison.
In addition to the prison time, Fond du Lac County Circuit Judge Tricia Walker sentenced 20-year-old Caiden Stachowicz to seven years of extended supervision, court records show.
Stachowicz, of Menasha, pleaded no contest to an arson charge in November. Prosecutors dropped burglary and property damage counts in exchange for Stachowicz’s no contest plea, which isn’t an admission of guilt but is treated as such for the purposes of sentencing.
Stachowicz’s attorney, Timothy Hogan, didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
According to a criminal complaint, a police officer responded to a fire outside Republican U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman’s office in Fond du Lac, about 55 miles (90 kilometers) northwest of Milwaukee, at around 1 a.m. on Jan. 19, 2025, and saw Stachowicz standing nearby.
He told the officer that he started the fire because he doesn’t like Grothman, according to the complaint. He initially planned to break into the office and start the fire inside but he couldn’t break the window, so he poured gas on an electrical box behind the building and around the front of the building, lit a match and watched it burn, according to the complaint.
He said he wanted to burn down the office because the federal government was shutting down TikTok in violation of his constitutional rights and peace was not longer an option, the complaint states. He added that Grothman voted for the shutdown, but he didn’t want to hurt Grothman or anyone else.

Grothman voted for a bill in April 2024 that required TikTok’s China-based company, ByteDance, to sell its U.S. operation. The deadline was Jan. 19, 2025, but President Donald Trump has issued multiple executive orders prolonging it. TikTok finalized a deal two months ago to create an American version of of the social video platform. Trump praised the deal.
A spokesperson for Grothman’s congressional office didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
MADISON (AP) — Reserve Braeden Carrington scored 18 points, John Blackwell scored 14 points and Wisconsin poured it on in the second half to dismantle Maryland 78-45 on Wednesday night.
Nick Boyd scored 13 points and reserve Austin Rapp scored 11 points for Wisconsin (21-9, 13-6 Big Ten), which had 11 players enter the scoring column.
The Badgers’ Andrew Rohde passed out six of Wisconsin’s 15 assists and didn’t commit a turnover. Wisconsin turned it over only three times.
Andre Mills scored 14 points and Elijah Saunders scored 11 points for Maryland.
Wisconsin turned an already commanding 34-21 first-half stranglehold into a 21-point lead 5 1/2 minutes into the second half. The Badgers shot 48% (27 of 56) and made 42% (13 of 31) from 3-point range. The Badgers scored 44 second-half points.
It was the fewest point Maryland (11-19, 4-15) has ever posted against Wisconsin in the shot-clock era. It was also Maryland’s lowest point total of the season.
Wisconsin has won five of its last seven. Maryland has lost five of its last six.
