Welcome to MKEpolitics.com

You are reading the premiere edition of MKEpolitics, a new weekly e-newsletter and website devoted to providing news and insights about the Milwaukee-area political scene.
MKEpolitics will be delivered every Thursday afternoon to subscribers of the BizTimes Daily.
The free newsletter is jointly produced by BizTimes Media LLC and WisPolitics.com and features political and government news related to the Milwaukee region.
"We know from our reader surveys that the readers of the BizTimes Daily are very interested in public affairs, especially as it relates to political issues that affect their companies and the local economy," said Dan Meyer, publisher of BizTimes Milwaukee. "This is our way of scratching that itch. MKEpolitics adds another layer of value to our weekly stable of vertical newsletters for our readers. We’re confident they will find MKEpolitics to be a useful resource and an efficient way of keeping themselves up to date and in the know. This is a great partnership between two of Wisconsin’s premier online news organizations."
Jeff Mayers, president of WisPolitics.com, said, "So much of what goes on in Madison has a direct impact on Milwaukee and the entire southeastern Wisconsin region. MKEpolitics provides us with a way to package all of the news of interest to Milwaukee readers into one weekly newsletter. By partnering with BizTimes, we’re reaching the decision-makers in southeastern Wisconsin."
The news content in MKEpolitics will be compiled by the editorial staffs of BizTimes Milwaukee and WisPolitics.com. The news also will be posted each week at www.mkepolitics.com, www.biztimes.com/mkepolitics and www.wispolitics.com.
