Pridemore has repeatedly sponsored legislation to protect whistleblowers in the health care industry.[3][4]
Controversy
In 2009, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin filed a complaint with the state after Pridemore criticized a candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction in a press release.[5][6]
Puppy mills
