It’s no coincidence that Ripon is in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin is the home of the LaFollette’s who were liberal (progressive) Republican icons.

Robert LaFollette Sr. was the presidential candidate of the Progressive Party in 1924 who carried Wisconsin and got 17 percent of the national vote.

Robert LaFollette Jr. lost the 1946 Republican Senate primary to some guy named Joseph McCarthy.
