This week the Wisconsin GOP congressmen abdicated their oversight roll as members of congress when it comes to tariffs. Have they forgotten the trade war's toll on our farms under Trump 1.0? Prices tanked, exports plummeted, and family farms suffered. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

There is no safe level of lead exposure for our kids. In 2025 the Year of the Kid, my budget invests over $300 million to get lead out of our homes, schools, day cares, service lines, and communities. We're working to get lead out of Wisconsin for GOOD.

The Trump Administration is once again going back on their word, and now, HeadStart programs that more than 10,000 kids and their families across our state depend on are at risk. I will fight any action that messes with our kids and families.

President Trump's tariff tax whiplash in Washington will hurt Wisconsin and our working families will pay the price. At a time when folks are already struggling with rising costs, trade wars will only cause prices to go up on everything from gas to groceries.

I've made fixing the darn roads a priority as governor, and I'm darn proud that Wisconsinites could drive from Wausau to San Diego and back—twice—on the number of miles of roads fixed.  Let’s keep it up. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIG...

I will continue to stand against efforts to cut Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, or any other program Wisconsin kids, families, seniors, farmers, and veterans depend on every day. That's a promise.

The cost of child care is too darn high and providers are already struggling.  If we don't invest in Child Care Counts in this budget, it will be a disaster for our providers, kids and families, and our statewide economy. That's a fact.  wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/04/11/s...

Every single Republican in the Wisconsin Congressional delegation just voted on a budget resolution to cut billions in federal funds for BadgerCare, directly endangering their most vulnerable constituents, while adding trillions to the national debt.

President Trump and Republicans are trying to take away your healthcare to pay for tax cuts for millionaires. And over 1 million Wisconsinites on Medicaid, including kids, families, folks with disabilities, seniors, and so many others, will suffer because of it.

Wisconsin's farmers have been the backbone of our state for generations, and Trump's whiplash on reckless tariff taxes and trade wars are going to crush them. I'm urging Republicans in Congress to stand up for Wisconsin farmers and put an end to the chaos. www.wisn.com/article/a-wh...

Firing all of the staff that provide heating and cooling assistance to low-income families is cruel and stupid. The Trump administration would rather give a tax cut to billionaires than help Americans afford their utility bills.

Putting two young kids in child care shouldn't cost more than mortgage or rent. My budget works to lower out-of-pocket child care costs, expand capacity, and cut child care waitlists. The bottom line: Wisconsin can't afford for Republican lawmakers to continue doing nothing.

Our Wisconsin economy depends on billions of dollars in exports, whether dairy, machinery, produce, or anything in between. President Trump's reckless tariff taxes and trade wars will hurt our farmers, manufacturers, and raise costs for families at the grocery store and gas pump.
