Wisconsin has a $7 billion surplus, yet under the guise of removing "non-fiscal items" from the budget, Republicans just slashed a million dollars out of the Homeless Veterans Rental Assistance Program.


Today I stood with advocates from across the state to call on the Joint Finance Committee to increase funding for our public schools. The number one issue we heard about this budget cycle was the underfunding of schools, leading to referendums and higher property taxes.

Republicans on the Joint Finance Committee cut the “Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids” program from @GovEvers’ budget, which would have saved working families $1800 on their groceries every school year. That’s ridiculous. @StateRepTip


Rep. Tip McGuire reposted

Republicans just released their plan to gut @GovEvers 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.

We visited Hsu’s Ginseng farm ahead of Wausau’s budget hearing. With over 90% of U.S. ginseng grown here, tariff-driven inflation is hitting farmers hard, and Wisconsin must step up to support our farmers.

We visited Hayward Fly Fishing Co. this morning before today’s budget hearing. As a Main Street Bounceback recipient, they’re proof that state investments can support business, grow tourism, and strengthen communities.

It is time for the state to fulfill its role in properly funding schools across the state, so every child can have a quality education.

Dodgeville’s school referendum is one of many across the state that failed last week, so community members are looking to the State for solutions. wmtv15news.com/2025/04/09/dod…

Sabrina shared a story about her son, how impactful education support professionals are, and the need to increase the special education reimbursement to at least 60%.

Today, we are excited to be at the State Fair Park for the second public hearing on the biennial state budget. We heard a lot of powerful stories and testimonies in Kaukauna earlier this week and look forward to hearing what the people of Southeastern Wisconsin have to say.

We joined @NCSRCCarpenters to discuss how the state budget should invest in the people working to make our communities great A week after the GOP rejected @GovEvers building commission proposal, we stood with the Wisconsinites who know how to get things done-by working together

Today, we are at Kaukauna High School for the first official public hearing on the 2025-27 biennial budget. We are eager to hear from Wisconsinites about the issues that matter most to them and their families.

It was fantastic to join @GovEvers and @AssemblyDemsWI at @UWParkside today to hear about the critical investments our capital budget would make in our state!

Gov. Evers is delivering $1.3 billion in property tax relief to stop tax hikes on Wisconsin homeowners and make housing more affordable without sacrificing funding for our schools. That’s what real leadership looks like.

BREAKING: In a 6-1 decision, the Wisconsin Supreme Court just marked the beginning of the end of Republican lawmakers’ near-constant obstruction of basic government functions and efforts to prevent us from doing the people’s work. This is a victory for the people of Wisconsin.⬇️

Republicans on JFC are still refusing to release funds that would help Wisconsinites in need. It is time they put politics aside and help Wisconsinites.

While Wisconsinites face the dire consequences of PFAS contamination and hospital closures, Republican lawmakers choose to evade their responsibility to act. It's time for them to prioritize the well-being of our state over partisan interests.

Republican Sen. Howard Marklein said the Joint Finance Committee will not discuss PFAS today, despite @GovEvers’ requests.

#ICYMI Yesterday, @JFCDemocrats were ready to take action on the $125 million already approved by the legislature, but their Republican counterparts didn’t even bother showing up. Over 120 communities are suffering from #PFAS contamination in WI. We need action NOW!


While Wisconsinites worry about poison in their water and hospital closures, Republicans are arguing over who is allowed to schedule a meeting.

BREAKING: Republican lawmakers were a no-show today for the special meeting I called to release $140 million to fight PFAS statewide and stabilize healthcare access in Western Wisconsin after recent hospital closures. Am I angry about that? The answer's yes.
