Spring 2026 Endorsements Are Here!

February 21, 2026
  • The Rock County First Political Fund (RCFPF), a non-partisan, non-profit organization in Rock County is pleased to announce its list of endorsed local candidates for the Spring election.  Please note:  all Beloit School Board endorsements will be announced on March 20th, after our Beloit School Board forum.  Find information on the forum and all related updates HERE.  This will be a forum like none prior. It will; 1) focus only on the top challenges facing the district and, 2) what specific, solution-oriented ideas the candidates  propose. The format will allow the candidates to make their final arguments prior to early voting on March 24th, and election day on April 7th.  It is intended to help voters make a more informed decision on whom to vote for.

  • Endorsements and other key information related to the Spring election may be found on our 2026 Spring Election Hub found HERE.  You will find the endorsements, other useful information and our Spring Voter Guide (SVG) which lists all the endorsed candidates.  The SVG is a great tool to share (download or share link) with family & friends, so they know who to consider voting for as well!

 

  • The RCFPF provides this endorsement process to the community because our supporters tell us they do not know who to vote for in Spring Elections, as well as, do not have the time to meet and vet the candidates for local office.  The RCFPF does this for you!

 

  • Endorsed candidates are chosen primarily based-upon their ability to serve in a professional manner, and their eagerness to protect the personal freedom and liberty of local students and citizens. With particular focus upon; 1) educational freedom – strive for educational excellence, and 2) financial freedom – reasonable and reasoned local taxation.  Lastly, these are non-partisan positions and therefore, if elected, it is presumed they will govern in a non-partisan manner, and instead be focused on citizen needs.

Paid for by Rock County First Political Fund. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.

Rock County First (RCF) is a non-profit organization (501c4) in Rock County, WI whose vision is to protect liberty and freedom in its local communities by empowering the citizens of Rock County through education and greater government accountability.

Partisan Potholes?

Partisan Potholes?

September 27, 2026
Let’s go on an election year scavenger hunt. First one to get a photo of all these items wins. Ready? Okay. Take a photo of a Republican pothole on your street. Next, a Democrat pizza box. A Republican dentist office. A Democrat snowplow. A Republican fire hydrant. A Democrat elementary school. You get the point, right? Living our everyday lives in our local communities, the hype on social media regarding elections will likely have little, if any, real impact once the elections are over. Most of us are concerned about LOCAL priorities: Quality education for kids in our neighborhoods; Police and Fire personnel who protect us; Business owners who bring value to our communities; Community leaders that look out for us. At the community level, we share similar goals that are not exclusive to a particular political party. School board members, city council representatives, alderpersons, mayors and county board supervisors are not partisan offices because those leaders need to serve the majority of their citizens and not just a select group. At the state and federal levels, partisan division in Wisconsin, like many states, is at an all time high. That will likely be demonstrated again in November, although there is hope that some issues may be causing us to rethink our positions. Feelings on things like high voltage power lines, power generation facilities, data centers, land use and more are crossing traditional party lines and people are looking to elected officials for leadership on the issues that affect them rather than just towing a party line. That’s fantastic news. Along the same line, some folks in Rock County will see five referendum questions on their ballot. If you consider the real “ask” of those questions and not the political spin around discussions of them, you will quickly see their passage or failure will also have an impact on your life and your financial situation (in the case of school referendums).

Local Impact Over Party

Local Impact Over Party

August 23, 2026
There’s good news in Rock County and the surrounding areas this election season, but it has very little to do with the people on the ballot this fall. This fall’s election is all about politicians. State and Federal candidates will all promise to make your world better, only to get reshaped by the hyper-partisanship that exists at that level. “But, Bill,” you say, “you told us there was good news.” There is. But to see it, we might have to look beyond partisan politics and personal feelings. Locally, the data center debate has stirred strong emotional responses between those for and against such projects. But something else has also happened. The people rediscovered that local government officials are elected to serve them!

Let Freedom Ring!!!

Let Freedom Ring!!!

June 25, 2026
Let freedom ring!! As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday we would do ourselves well to consider the freedoms the founders of our nation envisioned and whether that vision is still clear. I was reminded recently of how easy it can be to let the constant social-political noise of (social) media cloud our thoughts and feelings. That sentiment was further backed up by a few recent reports I’ve read as the world comes to America for the World Cup. Many visitors are simply fascinated by our way of life, our opportunities and our culture. What would our viewpoints be if we encountered our country for the first time over this holiday from somewhere far off?
