Mike Roberts

Great conversation over coffee in Elm Grove this morning with your next Wisconsin Court of Appeals Judge, @LoCocoforJudge! Really appreciated the discussion about public safety, supporting law enforcement, and the importance of holding repeat violent offenders accountable while keeping our communities safe!

I’ve had patients and employees get their cars stolen in their driveway in Wauwatosa. 

A friend, who is a healthcare provider near my office, has been ziptied and held at gunpoint.  And, for me, that is completely unacceptable. I am done hearing that we can’t do anything else. It’s time for results > politics. It’s for problem solvers to fix this and politicians who make the problems worse to leave.

I was walking in the Waukesha Christmas parade with my son when violent, repeat offender Darrell Brooks Jr. plowed his car through the parade route – a parade themed “Comfort and Joy.” It resulted in 6 deaths and more than 60 injuries. Just 5 days after being released on an “inappropriately low” bail – despite a lengthy and violent criminal history – he committed this evil act. I thank God that my family was safe, but my heart remains broken for the victims and their families. When I tell you I will fight to hold repeat violent offenders accountable, I mean it. This was a case where the consequence of failure hit far too close to home.

Having the endorsement of the organizations that represent the men and women of law enforcement is something I take as an incredible responsibility. Really grateful to the Milwaukee Police Supervisors and Milwaukee Police Association for the trust they are putting in me.

In my work as a healthcare provider and small business owner, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many of our law enforcement agencies across the district and across SE Wisconsin. I have many deep and personal relationships with agency leadership and patrol officers alike. They know I will support them because they know me.

Across the district, I am hearing again and again that people want to feel safe in their neighborhoods. People are sick of seeing news of more thefts, another dangerous police chase and violent crimes. Unfortunately, it seems that too many people don’t respect the very basic laws in our community that are there to keep us safe. In order to even begin to reverse this trend, we have to agree on some very basic things that I think most people in our communities agree on: 1. We must support our law enforcement officers. 2. We must enforce the laws that keep the fabric of our social life intact. 3. We have to do something about repeat violent offenders. None of that is crazy… but when politicians care too much about trying to appease ideological extremes, they make our communities less safe.

This week is National Police Week – a time when our country remembers the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of law enforcement officers. All week, I’ll be talking about how important it is for us to support these brave men and women.

Three generations, but one shared foundation of love, strength, and family. Watching our children grow up surrounded by incredible role models like my wife and mother-in-law reminds me how important family truly is. Grateful for the mothers and grandmothers who shape our lives in ways words can’t fully describe. Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there! Thank you for everything you do every single day.

Spent the afternoon in Wauwatosa for my son’s first golf tournament!

Had a great conversation with Janet in Brookfield who said she’s voting Republican for the first time since Richard Nixon. Why? Because she’s ready for more problem solvers not politicians.

Why I'm Supporting Mike Wednesday: "I’m supporting Mike Roberts because I know what it takes to start and grow a business - especially one focused on improving the health of our community. It takes hard work, dedication and a character rooted in service not selfishness. What a refreshing change to find a candidate more interested in helping people than helping themselves!" - Cynthia

This race is important because without problem-solvers, we just have more politicians worried about “winning and losing” instead of working to get real results.

Talking with voters today, and I’m not hearing people mad at one political party or another. People are done with politicians and politics. I’m hearing real people who are ready for real solutions from people who have actually done it. That’s exactly what I’ve done in my healthcare business and as a healthcare provider and what I’ll do as State Senator.

Instead of “Why I’m Voting for Mike” Wednesday (I’ll post that video tomorrow), today is “Why I’m Running for Senate” Wednesday. When I got home last night, my wife showed me something my son wrote at school. He wrote that he’s proud of his dad for running for Senate and that he sees how hard I work every day. That hit me. This is my why. I’m running for the next generation of Wisconsinites — including my own kids. I’m running for the families I serve, the patients I’ve treated, and the employees I’ve had the privilege to work alongside. I’m running for the men and women in law enforcement who put themselves on the line every day. And I’m running to represent EVERYONE in this district. Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about politics. It’s about doing what’s right for the people who are counting on us. Results > Politics

Stop by Curly’s Waterfront in Pewaukee on Thursday from 6-8 PM to sign nomination papers to help me get on the ballot! Would love to grab a drink with you, have your help, and chat with you about why you’re ready to put Results > Politics.

There is absolutely no reason Wisconsin should be in the Top 10 for property taxes. My pledge is to work to move us out of the Top 10 within 4 years.

Thanks to everyone who showed up to sign nomination papers to make sure we’re on the ballot. You already know what I told everyone… Results NOT politics! @WaukeshaGOP @WIYRs @WaukeshaYR

Stop by the @WaukeshaGOP HQ with @WaukeshaYR to sign nomination papers! I’ll be there!
