evidence: MILWAUKEE, Wis. – A new report details how Ron Johnson has voted against half a dozen bills that included police funding. In 2011, Johnson voted against legislation that was written as a police funding bill. Soon after, in 2013, Johnson supported an amendment that would defund police in states and municipalities that released gun ownership data. Despite being the deciding vote on the 2017 tax bill that added nearly $2 trillion to the deficit, Johnson tried to justify his votes against bills that funded the police due to the cost of the legislation. Over the last six years, Ron Johnson has voted against over $13.6 billion in federal police and public safety funding, $14 million of which supported the creation of nearly 60 police officer positions in Wisconsin. In 2013, Johnson even voted to withhold police funding for states that would have allowed the release of gun ownership data. [...] Over the last six years, Ron Johnson voted against $20 million in federal funding for Wisconsin law enforcement.
