Now that the election is over, we have updated the Scorecard (special thanks to Amy for doing this!) to reflect the current state of affairs. We don’t have all of the information since current office holders aren’t always willing to talk to us about their stance on the smoking ban… So if any of you out there have specific informaiton on their own regional legislators, please let us know!

I have emailed Mike Sheridan and Gottlieb. Will let you know what they say.
Sheridan was a supporter of AB 834 in the last session.
Holperin also gets the lemming award. After presenting him with the evidence that it is all based on junk science, he came back with the everyone else is doing it argument.
“That’s also mainly the reason Wisconsin is headed toward a smoking ban even on thin medical evidence of the benefits…because other states around us have enacted a ban or are about to do so. That’s the main argument now…in addition to some arguable health benefits.”
