JANESVILLE, WISCONSIN—Bryan Steil is now accepting submissions for the Wisconsin’s First Congressional District’s Health Care Worker of the Year Award. This award recognizes an unsung hero in our community who has gone above and beyond during the coronavirus pandemic.   “Doctors, nurses, and health care professionals are at the front lines of the coronavirus crisis. Many have sacrificed weeks away from their families and friends. Many have worked extended shifts, overtime hours, and volunteered to work in coronavirus hotspots to care for patients. I want to thank and celebrate these men and women who have spent months fighting the invisible

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) joined her colleagues, led by Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and Jack Reed (D-RI), in calling for answers from the Treasury Department about ongoing difficulties facing Americans who received their CARES Act stimulus payments as debit cards. The Treasury Department did not alert Americans who would receive their payment through a debit card, and many Americans missed or threw out the debit cards because they looked like a scam. Now, these individuals can face fees to get the card replaced quickly. Discussing this issue, the Senators wrote, “We are seriously concerned

Priorities USA Action released the following statement in response to the odd press release from the Trump campaign after Priorities successfully intervened as a defendant in the Trump campaign’s lawsuit in Wisconsin: Priorities USA Action successfully intervened as a defendant in the lawsuit filed by the Trump campaign against a small Wisconsin TV station in a desperate attempt to prevent Americans from hearing the truth about Trump’s failed response to the coronavirus pandemic which has cost over 120,000 American lives and millions of jobs. We stand by the facts in our ad that uses Trump’s own words. We won’t back

(WISCONSIN) — Today, Senator Dave Hansen, Assembly Candidate Karl Jaeger (D-Marinette), and business owner Kim Jensen, highlighted Trump’s failed leadership and destruction of Wisconsin’s economy. For three and half years Trump and his administration have actively gutted Wisconsin’s economy by attacking workers’ health care, passing a tax scam bill, engaging in multiple failed trade wars that crushed farmers and manufacturers, and now failing to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to Trump, unemployment in Wisconsin sits at 12%, and another four years is something the Badger state can’t afford. Meanwhile, the Trump administration remains engaged in a legal battle to

Madison, WI – State Representative Cindi Duchow (R-Delafield) issued the following statement after protests in Madison turned violent and destructive: The events that occurred last night in Madison were disgraceful and should be condemned entirely. The violence and vandalism that occurred during this riot crossed a line and go beyond an individual’s First Amendment rights to peacefully protest. Governor Evers needs to step up and be the leader Wisconsinites expect and deserve. This governor has continued to choose inaction and silence which further enables destruction and violence. Last night, two statues that represent the best of Wisconsin were torn down.

We know that closures of

Green Bay… Rep. John Macco (R-Ledgeview) issued the following statement in response to violent protests that took place in Madison on Tuesday, June 23, 2020: “When rioters assault observers, destroy property, and topple symbols of freedom and equality, it becomes difficult to discern any message beyond the senseless violence and destruction. Clearly, last night did nothing to further any movement or cause. It was simply another example what happens when you fail to proactively protect our state and its citizens. “In the United States, we have a constitutionally protected right to peacefully assemble and petition our Government, but what happened
