Republican Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos on Board of CCP Front Group
The Republican Speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly, Robin Vos, is a board member of the State Legislative Leaders Foundation (SLLF), a Chinese Communist Party-linked organization, Breitbart News exclusively learned.
Speaker Vos, an establishment, anti-Trump Republican, is under threat of a recall petition due to allegations that he blocked “fair elections” in 2020 and “misled” the Wisconsin Assembly about his plans to impeach the state’s top elections official.
The SLLF nonprofit group has deep connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It is a partner of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC). The CPAFFC is the “public face” of the CCP’s United Front Work Department.
Vos is an SLLF board member, which places him atop an organization that hosts forums for state legislators and corporate leaders. “[T]hrough our Emerging Leaders Program, we offer mentoring to first- and second-term legislators who have been identified by their peers as future leaders,” SLLF’s website reads:
In 2018, Vos took a trip to France, Italy, London, and Iceland. SLLF paid for the trip, which cost $13,000, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinelreported in 2018, bringing his four-year total from SLLF to $57,000. “I have nothing to be concerned about,” Vos said when questioned about the trip.
SLLF has ties to Hunter Biden. Emails from Hunter’s laptop show that Hunter and Biden associates helped the organization enter the United States while his father, Joe Biden, was vice president.

Vos did not respond to Breitbart News’s request for comment about why he is a board member of SLLF and if he believes his board position could compromise him.
The effort to recall Speaker Vos has a March 11 deadline to submit enough signatures (6,850) to force a recall election.
