A key Republican leader in the state Assembly has decided to resign early rather than wait until his term ends.

The Wisconsin Senate was scheduled to vote Tuesday on a constitutional amendment that says only citizens can vote in elections.

Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke announced Tuesday that he won't seek reelection this fall.

The Wisconsin Assembly's bipartisan racial disparities task force created in the wake of a white Kenosha police officer shooting a Black man issued 18 recommendations on Wednesday, but stopped short of calling for a total ban on chokeholds and no-knock warrants as Gov. Tony Evers wants.

The Republican legislator seeking to lead Assembly Speaker Robin Vos' racial disparities task force called the job "a political loser" but said the GOP could use the panel to make Gov. Tony Evers and his fellow Democrats look bad, a newly released email shows.

Assembly Republican Speaker Robin Vos on Tuesday tapped one of his most outspoken Black critics to help lead his new task force on racial disparities and police policies.
