Across Wisconsin, we heard people ask for strong schools, affordable child care, housing, and property tax relief. After 15 years of underfunding by the WI GOP and federal chaos under Trump, Governor Tony Evers’ budget meets the moment, delivering a positive way forward for Wisconsin.


Republicans just released their plan to gut Governor Tony Evers budget so they can deliver a tax cut to their ultra wealthy donors. We will fight back, and push for a budget that brings stability and lowers costs for all Wisconsinites.



Republicans on the Joint Finance Committee cut the “Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids” program from Governor Tony Evers’ budget, which would have saved working families $1800 on their groceries every school year. That’s ridiculous. Rep. Tip McGuire



.Governor Tony Evers delivered $10M for workforce training across Wisconsin. Now imagine what we could do if Republicans hadn’t blocked the rest of his plan. With paid leave, apprenticeships, and local training grants, we could be leading the country in worker readiness.




After weeks of delays, WIGOP wrapped w/out expanding postpartum care or sufficiently funding long-term care. But thanks to Governor Tony Evers, we did secure $330M for childcare & the largest special ed investment in WI history. Still, it's not enough, & the fight is far from over.
