Born into a military family, Wendy Stewart has lived across the globe but chose to settle down in Rock county to live and raise a family.  She has been a resident of Rock county for 20 years and is involved in the community, attending local events like the Dairy Breakfast and the Rock county fair every year.  She is passionate about veterans issues and has helped organize as well as participated in events around the community to benefit veterans. 

Last June, Wendy applied to be considered for the position of Rock County Clerk.  Although being highly qualified and placing 2nd on the list of possible candidates, an understandably more qualified candidate with several years of clerk experience was appointed to that position.  This did not deter Wendy and she became even more determined to become involved in her community through public service.  This led to her decision to run for Rock County Treasurer.

Wendy Stewart's educational background is highly suited for the Treasurer's office.  She holds a double major from UW-Madison in mathematics and economics, and is currently attending UW-Whitewater to qualify to sit for the CPA exam.  Her current and previous employment history includes logistics and inventory control analysis, cost analysis, and regulatory compliance in the food industry.  

Wendy is the mother of two children, Grace Stewart (20) and Jacob Stewart (14).  Grace is attending UW-Madison and is a former Cullen intern, and Jacob will start high school at Parker in the fall.  She is quite proud of both her children and their accomplishments.  Wendy is a fiscal conservative and applies that to her lifestyle by doing her own car and home repairs as a hobby.

These are dangerous and trying times. Our country is being ripped from us by a well organized insurgency who use information and deceit as their primary weapon of war. Now they are in the open, expanding their control with threats, violence and campaigns to suppress freedom of speech, the right to assemble, and constitution itself. This year is much more than an election, it is a war for our future. The time has come for our veterans to assemble to fight the political war to defend the homeland.

Mr. Michael Tumminelli is an Army and Air Force Combat Veteran with 13 years of service, along with 9 years as an employee of the Department of the Army. He is one of the founding members of the "Party of Six", and is currently inolved in 1 of 2 major legal cases appealing the "Justifiable Need" statute in the state of New Jersey. 

January 2015: The Party of 6 was born out of necessity and frustration. All the active members of this small and eclectic team have gone all the way through the NJ permitting process to obtain a permit to carry, with all being denied. Original member’s cases have all been closed out due to lack of resourcing and support from such groups as NJ2AS, ANJPRC, NRA and others. Lack of will and many attempts to work with all these groups came to quick and painful death as we learned that NJ groups are not willing to work together for the collective good. 

March 2016: Brushing our slumber and regrouping, the Party of 6 was revived out of sheer will and a hell a lot of grit. We are no better than those who are reading this now, but as those who have dared wade into the turbulent process of obtaining a Permit to Carry we understand we are at a critical point in our Garden State! We understand our political foes, but more so there is an absolute disconnect between those who claim to represent us, the common folk. They have grown into the Establishment and decide who knows what and when. It is well known that NJ 2A groups are deeply divided and for a reason, well here we are. To some we shall be seen as trouble makers who obviously have no capacity to understand what is happening around us, but let us rebut these notions by our stories and our willingness to once again hold those who wish not hold themselves accountable in this fight.

We here at Stew and The Nunn are honored and flattered to have the oldest living and one of the six remaining survivors from the USS Arizona cew, as a guest on our show; Mr. Lauren Bruner. He is 95 years young and is in good health. He lives in La Marida Calif. where he has lived in the same home for 50 years. He lives alone and takes care of himself.

Along with Lauren Bruner, will be Ed McGrath and Mark Comon.

Out of the 1512 crewmembers of USS Arizona less than 100 of the 325 survivors were aboard ship the morning of the attack on Pearl Harbor. According to military historians Lauren was the Second to the Last to Leave USS Arizona, which is also the title of his upcoming Historical Novel, which will be released this summer.

Lauren and Ed have co-founded the Lauren F. Bruner USS Arizona Memorial Foundation, which is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation that was established in 2015. Mark Comon who will also call in on Tuesday is one of the foundations Board Members and as well Lauren’s friend and Chief Photographer.

The Mission Statements of Lauren’s Foundation is to honor the crew of USS Arizona for all time and for all future generations; To aid the National Park Service in specific projects that need attention that only pertain to the USS Arizona Memorial; and to aid Military families both in and out of Hawaii who may need a helping hand.

Lauren Bruner’s Dream Gift to America is close to his heart as it involves the researching of each and every Arizona Crewmembers personal histories written into a biography and then married to a portrait of each of the 1512 crew members which when completed will be offered to the National Park Service at Pearl Harbor. This will allow an opportunity to share with those that visit Pearl Harbor what each crew member actually looked like on 12.7.41 in the uniform of the day.
