Thank you, Governor Tony Evers. Wisconsin will keep fighting in court and in the community to make sure kids, seniors, and veterans don’t go hungry.

Tonight’s vote may have ended the shutdown — but it sent Wisconsin families the bill.

Senate Democrats had a choice: stand firm for working people or cave to political pressure. They chose wrong.

Thank you to Calumet County Supervisor Emily Voight for her powerful support. She’s seen the real-life impact of delays and shortages.

I’m a nurse. I’m a mom. I’m ready to fix it:
✔️ Hold insurers accountable
✔️ Rebuild our healthcare workforce
✔️ Put parents first

From Green Bay to Sun Prairie to Madison — it’s been a week on the road listening, learning, and fighting for Wisconsin families.

Glad to have Rep. Ben DeSmidt on #TeamRodriguez!

We’re building support from all 72 counties — because this campaign isn’t about politics as usual. It’s about hard work, common sense, and making life more affordable for Wisconsin families.

Charles is all in — and I’m all in for Wisconsin.

Unbelievable. Does Tom Tiffany support Trump fighting in court to keep food assistance from hungry Wisconsinites? These are our friends, our neighbors, kids, seniors, and veterans. They deserve better.

I’m running to make life better for Wisconsinites: lower costs, better health care, access to affordable housing and child care.

How do we do it? Win the Governor’s office, flip the state legislature, and get to work 💪🏼

Huge thanks to everyone who joined the One Year to Win canvass kickoffs this weekend — and to @wisde for leading the charge!

Tom Tiffany, and the rest of Wisconsin's Republican delegation, found over a trillion dollars in tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. To pay for them, they have robbed Wisconsinites of Medicaid and Medicare funding, and are now going after ACA and Social Security funding.

Kicking off #OneYearToWin with the Madison Gold Team — our first @wisdems.org canvass of the weekend! 💪

425 canvass shifts. 115 communities. One mission: talk with neighbors about what really matters — the cost of living, health care, and the future we want for Wisconsin families.

Let’s do this.

114 kids. 34 educators. 9 Head Start classrooms shuttered across SW Wisconsin because federal funds are frozen. This is what a shutdown looks like for real families.
HeadStart programs close across southwestern Wisconsin due to federal grant delays

Tom Tiffany called taxes on beer a “good thing” — and now his tariffs are jacking up the price of chocolate too. At this rate, he’s coming for happiness itself.
Wisconsin chocolate makers fear ‘breaking point’ from tariffs and high cocoa prices
Wisconsin chocolate makers say that global cocoa supply disruptions and Trump administration tariffs are skyrocketing the cost to produce the confectionery in the state.

Local businesses are the heart of every Wisconsin community. They’re where we work, gather, and give back. I’ll always have their back — because when small businesses win, Wisconsin wins.

Campaigns are won one conversation at a time — in townhalls, diners, on front porches, and at county fairs across Wisconsin. That’s how we build trust. That’s how we win.

Child care shouldn’t cost more than a mortgage.

Families in Wisconsin are doing everything right — working hard, budgeting carefully — and still can’t afford care for their kids. When I’m Governor, we’ll make affordable child care a top priority.
Map shows states with the highest—and lowest—child care costs
Massachusetts is the state with the highest child care costs, according to new data from the North Carolina law office DeMayo Law.

SNAP feeds families — plain and simple. In La Crosse, I met with business owners and parents who are worried about what happens when those benefits stop. I’m proud to stand with Wisconsin leaders fighting to get this funding released.

This is good news. But it shouldn’t take legal gymnastics to make sure women can get the care they need. As a nurse and a mom, I trust women to make their own health care decisions – while Tom Tiffany wants to ban abortion nationwide. Those are the stakes in this race.
Wisconsin Planned Parenthood resumes offering abortions after a nearly monthlong pause
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin has resumed offering abortions after a nearly monthlong pause due to federal Medicaid funding cuts in President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill that took effect at the beginning of October.

Tom Tiffany and Republicans refuse to fund healthcare and food assistance and then act shocked when families can’t make ends meet. When I’m Governor, no family in Wisconsin will have to wonder where their next meal is coming from.
SNAP benefits won't go out Nov. 1. 'The well has run dry,' USDA says.
