When the Appleton City Council last met, a resolution requesting a one-year renewal of a truancy ordinance in the city failed in a tied vote with three aldermen absent from the meeting.  One of the absent aldermen has apparently asked for a reconsideration of this item (which is the right of an absent member); so there will be another discussion and vote on this. 

The first discussion of a potential Wheel Tax came at a Special Town Board meeting held on June 23, 2026, at 9:00 AM. Only two residents, myself and one other, were in attendance at the special meeting. That means, with only one discussion, and without seeking any resident input, the Board, in a vacuum, created a new Town tax in just a two-week period.

On Monday, July 6, Fox Valley Initiative will feature two speakers: Laura Ackmann of Moms for Liberty and Carolyn Pierre of Guardian School Consulting [invited]. Both organizations are working to protect children from sexual predators in schools.

I have questions about the Wilden Portfolio Park development (at Thrivent) and the proposal that Appleton create a 14th Tax Incremental District (TID) to help incentivize this development.

According to the 2020 Census, nearly SIX TIMES as many people in Outagamie County are Catholic: 62,763 Catholics versus an estimated 10,725 LGBTQIA+. Add in the numbers who belong to other Christian faiths, and you can see how many more people in Outagamie County are Christian than LGBTQIA+. So why is the Pride Flag being flown at the County Courthouse, but the Christian flag cannot be?

Now is a critical time for every freedom loving Wisconsin voter to mobilize. We must accelerate our demands to correct election system flaws and turn out to vote for our preferred candidates in numbers that will, once again, make the November election too big to rig. The spirit and determination that put Wisconsin in the win column for Donald Trump in 2024 are urgently needed now. If you miss the significance of this moment, expect to see the growing march toward communism coming to a city or town near you.

Wisconsin Family Action is concerned with the judgement of Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner Francesca Hong, considering recent reports of her deputy campaign manager, Renee Faust, serving as a sex worker. On Good Friday in 2025, Hong gave a legislative citation honoring Renee Faust at a socialist event for being the “2024 Penthouse Pet of the Year.”
