Wisconsinites need much more than expanding BadgerCare. We need healthcare for everyone, including small businesses, self employed, middle income folks.
You’re offering leftovers. They’re stale. Give is something that makes a difference to all of us.
The Big, Ugly Bill slashed healthcare funding and now it's more important than ever that we expand BadgerCare. Solving the MAGA-made healthcare crisis starts by meeting with local health experts. In Wausau, we're doing just that.

Working people need a $20/hour minimum wage. I have not seen you support this wage increase for working people.
Working people are my people—that’s why l’m so proud to have labor supporting my campaign and policies to move Wisconsin forward. Unlike my MAGA opponent, I will always have labor's back to ensure we have fair wages, safe working conditions, and a strong partner in the Governor's office.

In communities like Turmus’ayya, illegal settlers attack American citizens with American weapons paid for by American tax dollars.

Palestinians who live there have their houses, cars, and trees burned by settlers directly backed by the Israeli state. How can we support this?

The Trump regime is gutting protections for workers' 401(k) plans and opening them up to risky investments like crypto and private equity.

The crony leading this charge even ran a company that defended employers from worker lawsuits.

Utterly shameless greed.

There is something terribly wrong about an economy that produces its first trillionaire, but cannot provide health care for its people.

Or one in which the richest handful of families have the combined wealth of almost forty percent of the rest of the country.
Elon Musk’s net worth of $1.1 trillion is five million times as large as that of the typical family. The median American household had a net worth of just under $200,000 in 2022, the year with the most recent data available from the Federal Reserve. nyti.ms/4aL8sNH

Remember: it was like pulling teeth to get Republicans to fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.

But it took them no time at all to create a $1.8 billion Insurrection Slush Fund to pay off the legal fees of the January 6th rioters who beat cops.

These are sick, corrupt people.
