In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys—joined by special guest JS Online Opinions (@jsonlinemkebss), pay tribute to Assembly Speaker Robin Vos' bombshell announcement that he won't seek reelection after 22 years in office, capping a storied career as the "Shadow Governor" who navigated redistricting battles, budget fights, and conservative triumphs. The panel reflects on his journey to Madison's longest-serving speaker since 1994, highlighting key wins like historic tax cuts, school choice expansions reaching 50,000 students, and blocking Evers' on critical issues. They dive into why Vos was such an effective leader: his masterful coalition-building, unyielding pushback against Democratic overreach, and strategic alliances that delivered GOP majorities through turbulent cycles, all while enduring intra-party fire. It's a must-listen deep dive into Vos' legacy, blending nostalgia, analysis, and a few jabs at his critics.
