Happy New Year! We hope that you and those close to you have had a wonderful start to 2025. We might be millionaires, but we’re no different than most when it comes to setting New Year’s resolutions.

It’s hard to believe that we are just 12 days away from Election Day. The Patriotic Millionaires have never minced words, and we’re not going to start now: the stakes are extraordinarily high.
If you were a rich Wisconsinite striving to get even richer and you had little regard for intellectual honesty or the well-being of your fellow citizens, you would agree with Sen.
