Zach SchultzPANELIST

He's running on the bipartisan compromise, whereas the Republicans are attacking him on the tax increase, and they don't wanna talk about the bipartisan compromise.
Zach SchultzPANELIST
26:48
They don't want to acknowledge the fact that Speaker Robin Vos was the one that helped push this through, and it was Republican votes in both houses that got it done, because that doesn't fit their, their campaign against him.
Zach SchultzPANELIST
27:00
I, I, I will say what's interesting about the contrast between these two candidates is, as we talked about Tiffany, his version of compromise was, "If you wanna vote for my bill, feel free.
Zach SchultzPANELIST
27:08
Otherwise, you know, do whatever you want." Whereas Democrats in that era with Crowley, even with a Democratic governor, their only way to get anything done was bipartisan.
Dan O'DonnellHOST
11:40
But so too are Assembly Republicans.
Dan O'DonnellHOST
11:43
RAC, which has long been led by Robin Vos and a team of political operatives who know how to raise money, they are just destroying the ADCC, the Assembly Democratic Campaign Committee, which is led by the woefully overmatched Greta Neubauer.
Dan O'DonnellHOST
12:05
Assembly Democrats are really struggling for cash.
Dan O'DonnellHOST
12:09
However, they are pinning their hopes on the fact that, as I said, in ninety-eight out of ninety-nine assembly districts, even the districts where Trump won sixty percent of the vote or more, he's underwater.

Dan O'DonnellHOST
103:19
He delivers his budget address.
Dan O'DonnellHOST
103:21
He gives his proposed budget.
Dan O'DonnellHOST
103:23
Robin Vos says, "Huh, that's cute," immediately throws it in the garbage, and then gets to work on the Republican legislature's own budget using the baseline of Scott Walker's last budget from the 2017 to 2019 biennium.
Dan O'DonnellHOST
103:42
The fact that Wisconsinites have overpaid to the tune of $3.3 billion in taxes is a massive problem, and this is why Republicans wanted to give it back to the people.
Justin PhillipsHOST
0:18
This is our midweek episode, and I'm Justin Phillips, joined as always by Mandela Barnes's strongest soldier, Shadow Governor Voss.
Shadow Governor VosHOST
0:27
Robin Voss's strongest soldier, mind you.
Justin PhillipsHOST
0:31
And we're about 20 days out from the November 3rd election, and things are getting kinda crappy.
Justin PhillipsHOST
0:36
Uh, tonight someone's been mailing literal poop to Tim Tiffany's campaign.
Vicki McKennaHOST
43:31
Feces.
Vicki McKennaHOST
43:33
Not long before that, a French professor mailed feces to his opponent and Robin Vo- That wa- Oh, that was the Steve Mnuchin feces mailing.
Vicki McKennaHOST
43:51
And then Robin Voss, Speaker Robin Voss, received feces in the mail.
Vicki McKennaHOST
44:00
Feces.
Vicki McKennaHOST
44:02
Again, Robin Voss lives in a conservative district.
Vicki McKennaHOST
44:07
The guy who was arrested for mailing poop to Steve Mnuchin lived in a conservative area.
Vicki McKennaHOST
44:14
The Ohio attorney and magistrate judge who s- who mailed feces to Jim Jordan lives in a conservative area.
Vicki McKennaHOST
44:54
They have...
Joy PowersHOST
31:31
After years of partisan gridlock, the bill passed with near unanimous bipartisan support.
Joy PowersHOST
31:37
As J.R. Ross, editor of WisPolitics explains, Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos blocked the bill for years before relenting and ultimately voting for it.
J.R. RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
31:48
Two or three sessions in a row that it passed the Senate, like, overwhelming, like maybe one or two votes against the Senate, got to the Assembly and died.
J.R. RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
31:57
And Vos said it was expansion of welfare.
J.R. RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
32:29
I think Vos even voted for it, I think, on the floor.
J.R. RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
32:31
Uh, it finally passed.
J.R. RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
32:32
So basically just was the end of Robin Vos saying no.
Joy PowersHOST
32:36
Though Cyndia Gullickson is enrolled in BadgerCare, these changes took place in July 2026.
Mark BellingHOST
25:53
Now, I'll grant you, there are some Republicans in the other wing, let's just describe it as MAGA, who can be nauseating as well and just don't have the ability to unite in a general election.
Mark BellingHOST
26:13
The Robin Vos situation in Racine was an ex- would be an example of that.
Mark BellingHOST
26:18
There are some Republicans in Racine County who despised Robin Vos so much that they'd rather have had a Democrat in there and have the Democrats take over the assembly.
Mark BellingHOST
26:26
Equally wrong.
Mark BellingHOST
26:28
There is certainly a time within your own primary to try to oust someone you don't like.
Dan O'DonnellHOST
43:14
It didn't come from Milwaukee County.
Dan O'DonnellHOST
43:18
The two men who were actually responsible for it most directly are Robin Vos and Tony Evers.
Dan O'DonnellHOST
43:26
Vos because he was able to get a very skeptical state assembly, and because of his influence, he was able to get Republican state senators on board, and the state legislature passed that agreement, and Governor Evers signed it into law That there is very little role for the Milwaukee County Executive there.
Dan O'DonnellHOST
43:49
A-are we just at...
Jeramey JannenePANELIST
50:10
Uh, the key thing I would give him really to at least one letter grade boost is Act 12, the sales tax law.
Jeramey JannenePANELIST
50:16
The city, the county, uh, so Cavalier Johnson, David Crowley, and then negotiated with Governor Tony Evers, Robin Vos, and the Senate leadership on this, this grand deal to get a sales tax increase or a shared revenue increase.
Jeramey JannenePANELIST
50:29
David Crowley really came out of that for Milwaukee County a lot better than the city did.
Kristin BreyHOST
50:33
Hmm.
Ben GruberGUEST
7:05
He really isn't moderate.
Ben GruberGUEST
7:06
He's voted with Republicans 100% of the time, including Robin Vos, his leader, uh, cult leader here in Wisconsin, uh, up to and including criminalizing abortion providers in high-risk, uh, high-risk circumstances.
Ben GruberGUEST
7:20
Uh, hi- his record is anything but moderate.
Patti VasquezHOST
7:24
And e- everything that, uh, I've seen...
Maria Elena BisabarrosGUEST
4:22
But when I started teaching, running because our we are in east troy it's a very small town 46 87 people and our referendum didn't pass and being so involved in education i said they fired almost 25 teachers so i felt that the whole school district was basically dissolving and our pharmacy closed our Hardware store closed like a couple of months ago.
Maria Elena BisabarrosGUEST
4:55
And it's like all the local communities are really hurting because of the $1.5 billion that we gave away in sales tax credit to all these businesses.
Maria Elena BisabarrosGUEST
5:08
Data centers and my opponent, which is the endorsement, the continuation of Robin Voss, he's all for data centers because he's an electrician and he owns an electric company that right now is run by his children.
Patti VasquezHOST
5:25
So
Maria Elena BisabarrosGUEST
5:27
we have to stop this insanity and bring the money from the state to the local community.
Patti VasquezHOST
6:40
I mean, we just kind of, you know, from Illinois, sort of hear the background noise of how things are running.
Patti VasquezHOST
6:44
No,
Maria Elena BisabarrosGUEST
6:44
Robin, no, Robin Voss is the continuation.
