1 claim
Supported 2023 Wisconsin Assembly Bill 357, which tightened the legal definition of abortion in state law, and backed AB 975, which would limit abortion to 14 weeks gestational age — a measure the Assembly passed 53-46 in January 2024. Donovan, a Milwaukee-area Republican who served 20 years on the Common Council before returning to the Assembly, has maintained a consistent record of pro-life votes protecting the unborn.

1 claim
A longtime Milwaukee conservative whose entire political identity centers on law and order: as a 20-year Milwaukee Common Council member and two-time mayoral candidate (2016, 2022), Donovan built his platform on more police officers, tougher criminal penalties, and community safety — a rare conservative voice for public order in a heavily Democratic city. His anti-crime record predates and persists through his current Assembly service.
