Mary Burke has the skills, commitment and decency Wisconsin needs to prospernew
As a paper committed to progress and reform, we agree whole-heartedly with Republicans on this issue.

She is one of the strongest, most promising candidates running anywhere in the nation this year. Even Walker apologists have acknowledged how unique and qualified Burke is to lead the state.
