Elizabeth has 16 years’ experience of being a prosecutor, in many counties around central Wisconsin. She is all about protecting public safety, seeking justice for crime victims, committed to holding offenders accountable while recognizing the value of second chances for first-time low-level offenders, fair but tough! She is dedicated to following the letter of the law, and I for one appreciate that! Hopefully you will follow and share!

This is one that tugs at my heart, a 14 year old boy shot his sister and their friend with a 410 gauge shotgun and killed them both, hid them and went on like nothing happened, shocking!  He was found guilty and served only 11 years in prison, some of that in juvenile and then was out, he went to school was paid a stipend (by taxpayers), got out, went on to live a life, sad tragic tale......I knew his sister's friend, I still think of this story and have since it happened in 1970!  I hope you enjoy.  

Faith, Family, and Freedom, Adam hits on all of these subjects and opens up about them. He shares his experience of being homeless while running for school board and winning! Adam hopes for all that everyone hopes for, and dreams for, please take a few minutes to listen to what Gen Z is all about and let's help them reach their goals.

This is a story of a missing woman for 23 years, found in her backyard buried, found by her son, it has twists and turns, her husband killed her and is now in prison after living 24 years of his life without any repercussion, until his son found her. Her husband, at the time, Michael Haim, was found guilty of murder (2nd degree); domestic violence happens even to people we know! I attended their wedding, so very sad.....
