This week, we bring you a collection of our top photos of 2018. It’s been a busy year for journalism, and while our reporters have covered stories around the state, they’ve also taken cameras along to document the people, places and stories of Wisconsin that mean the most to our readers. See a preview below and click here for all of the photos.
WisconsinWeekly will return next week with more stories for people who care deeply about the state of Wisconsin.
Thanks for reading and Happy New Year!
– Andy and Dee

Julie Routhieaux, administrative specialist for the village of Little Chute, Wisconsin, climbs into the DS200 scanner and tabulator voting machine to clear a paper jam caused by a stuck absentee ballot. Also seen are Rita Mollen, chief election inspector, left, Municipal Clerk Laurie Decker, center, and Deborah Hermsen, election-chief-in-training, right. Decker said that clearing the paper jam had no effect on election security. Voting was occurring at the village hall for a special election in the 1st Senate District on June 12, 2018. Democrat Caleb Frostman beat Republican Andre’ Jacque for the seat. The 1st Senate District covers Door and Kewaunee counties as well as parts of Brown, Outagamie, Calumet and Manitowoc counties.
