As session wraps up so does my time at WRTV. My last day is March 16th. I have accepted a position with @CBS58 in Milwaukee as their Capitol corespondent. Thank you to everyone in Indy for trusting me these last 4 years. It’s been my honor and privilege to cover this state.

For Ueck, for Milwaukee, and for Wisconsin, GO BREWERS! 💙💛⚾️

ALT Brewers “Won Our Way” Day proclamation
Another day another Starbucks. A Milwaukee political reporter has a much different life right now than a general assignment reporter 😂. Don’t forget to vote on November 3rd!

Tom Tiffany campaigns in Racine with Brian Steil and Eric Toney ahead of a visit from former VP Kamala Harris who’s scheduled to be in Milwaukee to campaign with David Crowley.
WATCH: Supporters rallied outside Dane County Courthouse as 47 activists face felony charges in the Ridglan Farms break-in case. Defendants tell me they have no regrets.

Trump says he told his new press secretary (who started on Monday) that she should "reconsider" whether she should remain in the role
"Honestly, if I were you, I’d reconsider," Trump said he told Katie Zacharia on Friday morning.
Speaking to reporters just now, he said she's been "treated really badly" by the media, and that he doesn't think that coverage will let up. But he says he'll leave the decision to her
He plans to talk to her about it more seriously when he returns from his trip.

I asked Tom Tiffany about his staff banning 2 @journalsentinel reporters from his event today
He noted a JS photographer was allowed in and also noted the gaggles he holds. I pressed on why these 2 reporters were banned
"I'll have to go back and talk to my communications team"
Meredith Hackler retweeted
Last week I was told by Tiffany's team that I wouldn't be let into events if I wasn't a fair reporter.
Earlier this week, Tiffany said all reporters would be let into his events, even me, when he was asked about Trump's ban on TV stations.
Now they're blocking my colleague.
At Tom Tiffany’s campaign stop in Milwaukee, staff is blocking @MSpicuzzaMJS and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel from covering the event

I just want to say thank you for your prayers and support.
We were incredibly fortunate, and I’m thankful the pilot and I are both doing well. The experience was a reminder to never take a single day for granted.
Thank you to the 911 dispatcher, the Wausau Fire Department crew who rescued us from the water, EMS, law enforcement, and everyone at Aspirus Wausau Hospital. Our first responders represent the best of Wisconsin.
I’m grateful to be home with my family, and I’m ready to get back to work for you.
God is good.
