Founded in 1991, the Republican Liberty Caucus works to advance the principles of limited government, free markets and individual liberty within the Republican Party.

In the past year Wisconsin has gone from having no RLC affiliate at all to having an active chapter of the Republican Liberty Caucus.

In the past eight months the RLCWI has chartered its affiliate, reached out at the state GOP Convention, introduced itself to party leaders/activists, protested the Wisconsin GOP’s pre-primary endorsements, and endorsed a liberty slate of candidates. Their progress is documented at http://wi.rlc.org/.

The endorsed candidates for State Assembly, who will face primary opposition on September 14, include:

∙ Andre Jacque for State Representative, District 2 (Green Bay)
∙ Jim Steineke for State Representative, District 5 (Appleton)
∙ Brad Sponholz for State Representative, District 7 (Milwaukee)
∙ Chris Kapenga (pictured) for State Representative, District 33 (Waukesha)
∙ Evan Wynn for State Representative, District 43 (Whitewater)
∙ Both Jeremy Thiesfeldt and Timothy Lakin for State Representative, District 52 (Fond du Lac)
∙ Chuck Schmidt for State Representative, District 57 (Appleton)
∙ Scott Krug for State Representative, District 72 (Wisconsin Rapids)
∙ Roger Rivard for State Representative, District 75 (Superior)
∙ Dave Redick for State Representative, District 77 (Madison)

“This is a great slate of candidates. We hope they make it through their primaries so we can reshape the Wisconsin Assembly with a liberty slate,” said Wisconsin RLC Chairman Michael S. Murphy. Learn more about the candidates at http://wi.rlc.org/endorsements/.

Congratulations to the Wisconsin RLC!
