BREAKING: Today I announced my budget will require the Legislature to allow Wisconsinites to put binding referenda, constitutional amendments on the ballot.

GOP lawmakers have long ignored the will of the people, from legalizing marijuana to restoring Roe. That has to change.
BREAKING: Gov. Evers announces effort to give Wisconsinites the power to propose new state laws and amend constitution through ballot initiatives. “The will of the people should be the law of the land. Republican lawmakers have repeatedly worked to put constitutional amendments on the ballot that Republicans drafted, and Republicans passed, all while Republicans refuse to give that same power to the people of Wisconsin. And that’s wrong,” said Gov. Evers. “Republican lawmakers shouldn’t be able to ignore the will of the people and then prevent the people from having a voice when the Legislature fails to listen. That has to change. If Republican lawmakers are going to continue to try and legislate by constitutional amendment, then they should give the people that same power and that’s what I’ll be asking them to do in my next budget.”
