We appreciated the chance to answer their questions about our work, the issues they care about, and how we each got our start in politics.

Her support has already helped him grow more hopeful, reconnect with family, and find success at school.

Thank you, Honey, for the incredible impact you’re making. Beloit is better because of you.

I’m wishing him all the best on his next adventure. Thank you for your service to Beloit, Jerry!

That year the Packers scored over 550 points and allowed just 12, and 6 of them came right here in Beloit.

His name rightfully takes its place on the court where Beloit athletes continue to chase their dreams.

A three time state champion, the first Black star of the state tournament, and later a Harlem Globetrotter, Watts excelled despite the racial barriers that kept him out of the Big Ten. His courage, dominance, and lasting influence paved the way for generations of athletes who followed.

In 1933, Watts delivered one of the most iconic performances in state history, checking into the WIAA championship game with a broken wrist wrapped in splints made from ping pong paddles and immediately sparking Beloit’s comeback before scoring the game winning basket.

Thank you to Brittany Keyes for hosting and organizing a thoughtful and engaging event.
