Leah Vukmir
Vice President of State Affairs - National Taxpayers Union (NTU.org) Taxpayers’ Lobbyist
What a fun evening sponsored by the MacIver Institute! Tucker Carlson did not disappoint! His common sense message was greatly appreciated by all in attendance. Oh, and did I tell you how hilariously funny he was? 😀
You pay too much in payroll taxes.
Demand more from your state lawmakers and urge them to use National Taxpayers Union Foundation's toolkit for better stewardship of your money.

Thank you, Julian!
Wisconsin’s Governor Gets It Wrong on Tax Cuts Last month, the Wisconsin Legislature passed its biennial spending plan, sending the 2023-25 budget bill to Gov. Tony Evers for approval. The $99 billion budget would have prioritized taxpayers by providing relief to the tune of $3.5 billion and reduced the number of income tax brackets from four to...

My Women’s History Month tribute to Margaret Farrow - filmed earlier this month. Thank you American Legislative Exchange Council for the opportunity to recognize this great leader!
Women's History Month 2022 - Leah Vukmir, former ALEC National Chair and State Senator On behalf of the ALEC Women's Caucus, former ALEC National Chair and State Senator Leah Vukmir tells us about who inspires her in our Women's History Month s...
Some people come into our lives and make an imprint on our hearts and souls in a way that far surpasses what we can comprehend.
Former Lt. Governor Margaret Farrow was that person for me.
To say Margaret was a political mentor barely captures the extent to which this extraordinary woman made a difference in my life. Margaret was a force to be reckoned with. She had an indomitable spirit and drive that inspired me as a young public servant and guided me to heights I never believed imaginable.
Margaret forged a path for women to lead in a work environment dominated by men. She was fearless and unfazed by the imbalance. And as a result, her male colleagues quietly respected her… and perhaps even feared her at times!
Margaret was passionate about conservative principles and tirelessly worked on behalf of her constituents to improve their lives by enacting policies based on those principles. When the going got tough, she didn’t waver from doing the right thing.
She was truly the epitome of an Iron Lady.
I will miss you, Margaret. Your family will miss you. Our state will miss you.
May your memory be eternal.
Said goodbye to a dear friend today. Rep. Dan Lemahieu and I were elected in the same year. We were part of a freshman class of GOP lawmakers who stormed the Capitol with our conservative principles. Dan exemplified Jesus’ model of servant leadership. What a blessing to serve with this amazing man. My heart goes out to his family who grieves today but, at the same time, knows they will be reunited with him in God’s Kingdom one day.
Keep fighting the good fight and keep those babies’ hearts beating! 💕
We are grateful for Senator Julian Bradley and Wisconsin State Representative Donna Rozar and the deep commitment they displayed for preborn Wisconsinites while advocating for the .
And a special thank you to Representative Shelby Slawson for Texas for testifying in favor of , which mirrors much of the successful that she authored.
Thank you Congressman Bryan Steil for speaking common sense and standing up for the taxpayers of Wisconsin! It was great to have you speak at our National Taxpayers Union reception tonight! 🇺🇸
