| | | | | | Wisconsin Republicans have voted not to endorse anyone for governor ahead of the GOP primary in August, after many activists rose up against the move. The Republican endorsement has been highly sought after because it unlocks funding from the state party. Former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch got the most votes at 55%, just short of the 60% needed for an endorsement. Now the Republican candidates for governor will fight it out without any official backing from the party. The winner of the Aug. 9 primary will advance to face Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. | | | | | | | MEDFORD, Wis. (WSAW) – Two people were injured Friday evening after they were attacked by a bear.

Authorities say the two people in their 70s lived at a mobile home park in Gaylord that was among the first sites hit by the tornado, which was rated an EF3 by the National Weather Service on a scale of 0-5. More than 40 people were injured. Gaylord is roughly 230 miles northwest of Detroit. The Otsego County fire chief says there's "probably 95% destruction" at the park, with mobile homes "picked up and turned over." Experts say extreme spring winds are uncommon in the area because the Great Lakes typically suck energy out of storms. | | | | | | | The latest forecast from News 3 Now. | | | | | | | WAUKESHA, Wis. — A Waukesha Goodwill store was evacuated Saturday because of excessive dust.
