The Common-Sense Institute of Wisconsin, Inc. was founded through a series of conversations among former locally elected officials—Senator Tim Cullen, Rich Gruber, DuWayne Severson, and Paul Murphy—who share a deep concern about the growing influence of partisan politics in nonpartisan local governance. Motivated by a shared commitment to civic integrity, they began developing the Rock County Civics Academy as a grassroots initiative to educate, organize, and advocate for a return to common-sense principles: service before self, and decision-making rooted in the collective good of the community.
