Local Celebrity

The LeaderHe’s cool, funny, approachable and a winner. Not even an over-analyzed player transfer kerfuffle can dim Bo Ryan’s star in the local celeb pantheon. He’s one of the best basketball coaches in the country but as down-home as they come. Just the way we like our celebrities in Madison. |
The LawmakerYes, it says something that two of our top three celebrities are politicians. But serious, respectful and classy Rep. Tammy Baldwin has never treated politics like the game show it’s become, nor has she acted like a celebrity. Which is exactly why she’s one of the biggest, right? |
The Lightning Rod
Heck, yes, a local celebrity can be right-wing rockstar. Gov. Scott Walker has attracted more national attention to Wisconsin than cheese. The question remains: Is he a one-hit wonder or on the verge of a Hall of Fame career? |
