Kenosha County Chapter Chair Angela Kretchmer detailed efforts in Central, Salem, Bristol, Wilmot, and KUSD, including helping parents raise concerns about safety and school climate. She highlighted community outreach events such as trunk-or-treat gatherings, Constitution distributions, and local library programs, noting that KUSD remains the only district yet to accept their Constitution handouts.
Koenecke also presented special recognition to contributors across both counties, acknowledging donors Sam Wahlen, Dawn Patzke, Ivan Ibarra, Barb Griffin, Dawn Santoro, and Devin Principe, as well as extensive volunteer support for the Racine County Fair booth and Kenosha outreach events.

Scarlett Johnson Delivers Extended Keynote and Celebrates Court Victory
The night’s keynote came from Scarlett Johnson, Moms for Liberty’s Wisconsin Ambassador, Legislative Committee Chair, National Social Media Manager, and White House Correspondent.
Johnson opened by recapping her recent legal victory in the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, where she won a defamation lawsuit brought against her in Milwaukee County. The appellate court ruled that her politically charged social-media statements — including her use of terms such as “woke,” “lunatic,” and “white savior” — were protected opinion and not actionable as defamation. The case was reversed and remanded with directions to enter summary judgment in her favor. She noted she was represented by the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, which she praised for defending her First Amendment rights.

She went on to deliver an hour-long address touching on national education debates, gender-identity policies, online harassment of parent advocates, the cultural and political pressure placed on school boards, and what she described as efforts to marginalize parents raising concerns about district policies. Johnson urged members to engage with undecided families, avoid social-media echo chambers, and stay unified ahead of the 2026 elections. She also encouraged parents to remain outspoken on issues involving student safety, privacy, and academic standards.

Local Officials Attend
Local officials in attendance included State Rep. Amanda Nedweski, Union Grove President Steve Wodnem, Union Grove Trustee Sarah Wombler, and Young Republicans Vice Chair Nick Reiger.
Koenecke closed the evening by thanking attendees and volunteers — and reminding everyone that there was still cake left as the crowd began to disperse.

What a crock of shit. It’s more like a cult.
You have no actual cult experience, do you?
“White men for Harris” was and Yenta appears to identify with that actual cult….
Is that you Merritt Garland?
Really? How many meetings have you attended? I bet you follow Forward Kenosha too…
Yes, that the exact response I would expect from a low I.Q. voter. Have you every been to one of their events or participated in any community outreach involving this group? Guessing the answer is no. Opening the event with a prayer… How cultish. Wanting to rebuild our crumbling educational, societal and cultural rot that has been taken over by what many would view as a mindless, leftist cult bent on destruction is not a cult. It’s actually anti cult. This organization wants liberty and freedom. Try opening your eyes before opening your mouth.
That won’t be happening. The Democrat Kenosha Tribe IS THE cult politically projecting with social bully intimidation, ready to microtrigger physically. Their politics are fused with their personal psychological identities, which, when faced with the truth and reality, auto-generate greater aggression from them to protect their egos, independent of their IQ/EQ levels. Many Democrats today, equally including the high IQ segment, are functionally insane when the subject of politics is broached, which makes them very dangerous. It is still only Year 1 of Trump/MAGA 47. Expect Democrat violence to ramp up as the 2026 mid-term election approaches.
You sound really tense and have some wacky ideas about a lot of people. What do you really know about people’s IQs and being dangerous based on just their R or D status? You’re looking for trouble and division so you’ll find it. Try looking for common ground and shared values and maybe you’d find those, instead. Is your life really so scary you have to project Danger or could you maybe, maybe turn off Fox News for a week and read a paper or something instead?
When you turn off MSNBC and CNN, we’ll talk.
its annual report released in June 2023, the SPLC for the first time listed “Moms for Liberty” as an anti-government extremist group, alongside other organizations such as the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys. The SPLC stated the group is at the forefront of efforts to attack public education, ban books, and remove curricula related to race and LGBTQ+ identities
The SPLC is a far leftwing cabal, but you spin it anyway you’d like lol.
You must also believe Trump is not a pedo, the checks in the mail, he is doing everything for the little people, oh yeah and the stripper likes you 🤷😂
You’re right. I’m jealous of them- they are awesome and I don’t know how to join.
They are awesome, they care about no trans-ing the kids, they push for getting your kids out of government schools (homeschool!!) and they are tired of the rainbow jihad garbage.
Is there still cake left?
Yes, if it was a fat dem party- there would definitely NOT be cake left. Those pigs would have gone to town on it.
‘Scuse me, is the fattest president in our lifetimes a R or D?
I bet your about 5 clicks on the old belt 😉 (with blue hair and a nose ring as well)
A basket of deplorables.
Someone’s jealous 🤣😉
Id definitely bang scarlett
Yeaaa from the way she looks, it tracks….
Praying for you, whether you want it or not.
Amen! Jesus is our Lord and Savior
Is it me or are women who vote Republican much skinnier and prettier than those who vote Democrat? Just curious because all I see on the Democrat side are women with short bowler haircuts or they are the size of a large SUV!
🎯
And you must have a small 🤏 penis
Are you assuming his gender?!
Lmao!
My penis is spectacular! (thanks for asking) Are you upset because my comments about Democratic Women hit to close to home?
As if you can tell who votes R or D in the people around you? When you point a finger at others, three fingers point back at you.
You sound So tough
HelloBetty, you show me a picture of a woman and 9 out of 10 times I will be able to tell you if she is an R or D.
A whole login created to reply to me, I’m flattered. I just don’t agree w the assertion. Like any stereotype some do get categorized the way you say but all the outliers don’t and get overlooked. It’s like someone saying they have accurate “gaydar”, well sure, for some super obvious characteristics. But you don’t notice the ones you don’t notice.
I don’t like that our communities are so split and intolerant of the “other side” when really people would be good neighbors 95% of the time if we didn’t Assume so much based on superficial appearance. Not trying to be naive but in my experience there are A-holes of both political persuasions and I’ll allign with the “non-A-holes” of either group any day over the alternative. Long post, I know.
Don’t forget the stupid glasses,blue hair,crazy costumes,and idiotic songs.
Awesome! I love Moms of Liberty and all of the hard work they do! Thank you, ladies! You rock!
Thank you Moms for Liberty! Let’s get rid of all these trannie loving gay cults!
The sex scandal Moms 4 Liberty? Lol
That’s the best ya got? 🤡
They’re still a thing? 0-59 in school board races since 2023. Ouch…
You’ve got a little jealousy on you 😉
Book burning Nazi Stepford Wives
Exactly which books have they burned?
Is the “Mothers for Liberty” as exclusive as the “Teachers for Books” and “Dads for Safe Driving” groups? These emotionally loaded, niche groups don’t get enough support either. The subversive Parents Who Hate Liberty, Teachers Who Detest Readers, and Sugar Snacking Dental Professionals keep plotting ways to bring America down and must be stopped! /s <<<This denotes Sarcasm for the folks who need to be told directly in all cases.
Nobody is reading your butt-hurt novel; but nice try LMAO
You did, cupcake.
I love cupcakes!
MILFS for Liberty!
Now you’re getting specific, I can support that! But personally I’d be more interested in checking out a DILFs for Liberty group. I’ve heard conservative types have some interesting kinks but IDK if it’s true.
No, people assume that bc conservative men actually get laid due to them not being beta soy-boys. They are real men who do real work and that’s what the ladies want 😉
