Johnson, an Oshkosh Republican, will be in the Senate majority in the new Congress and is poised to lead the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
He told the Journal Sentinel last week that he plans to turn the committee’s attention inward to federal agencies as he follows the lead of Trump’s new cabinet picks, some of whom are keen on changing the makeup of the government.
Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson speaks during Donald Trump’s political rally at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee in November.
And he hopes to work “very closely” with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s controversial nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, in exploring issues like the efficacy of vaccines — something both men have repeatedly cast doubt on despite guidance from health officials.

Keith Poulsen’s jaw dropped when farmers showed him images on their cellphones at the World Dairy Expo in Wisconsin in October. A livestock veterinarian at the University of Wisconsin, Poulsen had seen sick cows before, with their noses dripping and udders slack.
But the scale of the farmers’ efforts to treat the sick cows stunned him. They showed videos of systems they built to hydrate hundreds of cattle at once. In 14-hour shifts, dairy workers pumped gallons of electrolyte-rich fluids into ailing cows through metal tubes inserted into the esophagus.
“It was like watching a field hospital on an active battlefront treating hundreds of wounded soldiers,” he said.
Nearly a year into the first outbreak of the bird flu among cattle, the virus shows no sign of slowing. The U.S. government failed to eliminate the virus on dairy farms when it was confined to a handful of states, by quickly identifying infected cows and taking measures to keep their infections from spreading. Now at least 845 herds across 16 states have tested positive. [emphasis added]
Experts say they have lost faith in the government’s ability to contain the outbreak.
