It was a true joy to work with Tim on his trilogy of books: Ringside Seat, Disassembled, and Wisconsin Gerrymandering. Through these books, he has left us a powerful record of his life, his passions, and his unwavering commitment to fairness, politics, and the betterment of society. Tim was a wonderful man—fiercely passionate about justice, the youth, and the people he so deeply cared about.
We will miss his spirit and the light he brought to every endeavor. His legacy lives on through his words, inspiring future generations to continue his fight for fairness and understanding.
Rest in peace, Tim.
