Longtime activist Brian Schimming will give his analysis of the upset victory of Brian Hagedorn for the State Supreme Court and the rebuilding of the Republican Party of Wisconsin. Brian has served three Republican governors including as a member of Governor Tommy G. Thompson’s cabinet. He most recent role began when he was named by Governor Scott Walker as chief operating officer of the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority.

His political history stretches to literally every part of Wisconsin. Brian was a key architect of the first Republican takeover of the Wisconsin Assembly since 1970 and subsequently served as chief of staff for Assembly Speaker

Brian served as vice chair of the Republican Party of Wisconsin under Reince Priebus and was elected to continue that role as a spokesman for Wisconsin Republicans as they went through demonstrations at the Capitol and the successful defense of Governor Walker in the recalls.

Brian is a radio show on WIBA in Madison and WISN in Milwaukee, and he has appeared hundreds of times on local, state and national media including FOX News, the Wall Street Journal, CBS, the BBC, the Sean HannityShow and NPR.

In Campaigns and Elections Magazine he is on their list of “Influencers 500” as the top 500 most influential political people in America. And Madison liberal Isthmus magazine warned: “Liberals beware...all Brian Schimming touches turns conservative.”
