The GOP senator recently refused to ask Oshkosh Defense to locate new jobs in its own state.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) is refusing to urge a Wisconsin company to reconsider its decision to put 1,000 manufacturing jobs in South Carolina. The business, Oshkosh Defense, is one of Johnson's top career campaign funders.

In February 2021, the United States Postal Service awarded a 10-year, $482 million contract to the Oshkosh, Wisconsin-based company to build its next generation of delivery vehicles.

In June, the company announced it planned to build that fleet at a new dedicated facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and to hire "over 1,000 local team members" there. John Bryant, the company's president, called it "the perfect place" to produce the vehicles because "the people of Spartanburg take pride in their work and their community."

Hey, John Roberts what would you call a senator that is taking money and said company wants to ship said jobs to a right to work for less state and then said company makes millions......and then the senator goes around and brags about it, while said campaign donations just pad the coffer of a senator....I call it quid pro quo....that is basically what your Citizens United ruling is all about....with what is happening here.....I think that my tax dollars should go to the workers in Wisconsin to build those vehicles....


I am going to call my senator up to try and stop this BS.....Boeing did the same stuff....
