MADISON, Wis. — It might be cheesy to say this but, in Wisconsin, we love our curds. Today, in celebration of National Cheese Curd Day, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler released the following statement in recognition of the legendairy dairy farmers who are the backbone of Wisconsin’s economy:   “President Biden’s Build Back Cheddar agenda works to lower costs for families and ensure that all children from urban to rural neighborhoods are given the access and opportunities to thrive. Yet, while Democrats have remained committed to supporting Wisconsin’s rural communities, Republicans continue to play partisan politics in an

MADISON, Wis. — Today, thanks to President Biden’s American Rescue Plan, parents across Wisconsin are seeing another round of payments from the expanded Child Tax Credit. These payments were funded by the American Rescue Plan, which provided additional relief of up to $1,600 per child to the families of nearly 1.2 million children in Wisconsin. The expanded payments are also expected to lift 46,000 Wisconsin children out of poverty. This expanded middle-class tax cut echoes Gov. Evers’ commitment to cutting taxes for families across the state — earlier this year he signed a $450 million small business tax cut and

Madison, Wis., — After nearly a year of discouraging Wisconsinites from getting vaccinated, slandering the medical community, and lying about the seriousness of COVID, Ron Johnson is now dismissing the hardships hospitals and their staff are facing as they are overwhelmed with COVID stricken patients. At a recent town hall, Johnson compared the surge and deadliness of COVID to a “bad flu season,” and said overrun hospitals are not a “massive crisis.” See more below:   Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: ​​While 1,100 people are hospitalized with COVID-19, Sen. Ron Johnson says overcrowding no worse than ‘bad flu season’ “Sen. Ron Johnson

MADISON, Wis. — Yesterday, Wisconsinites gathered outside Ron Johnson’s Madison office to call out the senator’s opposition to President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda — including a middle-class tax cut, critical pandemic relief for small businesses, and once-in-a-generation investments in the state’s infrastructure. They also blasted Johnson for his ongoing tax scandal. President Biden’s agenda is clearly working. Just yesterday, U.S. unemployment claims fell to the lowest level since the pandemic started. CBS Madison Despite opposing tax cuts for middle-class families in 2021, Johnson worked overtime to deliver a change in the 2017 GOP tax scam bill that ultimately benefited

JANESVILLE, WISCONSIN — Today, the Steil for Wisconsin campaign announced that the committee raised more than $439,000 during the third quarter of 2021. With a little over a year to go until the election next November, the campaign now has $1,198,264 cash on hand. “I’m thankful for the overwhelming support our campaign continues to receive from people across Southeast Wisconsin. Big Government policies and reckless spending coming out of Washington threaten our way of life.

MADISON — In the first two weeks of October, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes has earned endorsements from 8 more local leaders from across Wisconsin. The recent endorsements come from every corner of the state, and they join dozens of other elected leaders who are supporting Barnes’ campaign to defeat Ron Johnson, change the game in Washington, and deliver for Wisconsin working families. “We’re building a campaign to compete and win in every corner of Wisconsin,” said Mandela Barnes. “Our message is simple: we need leaders in Washington who will stand up for Wisconsinites and work to create opportunities in every corner of

Wisconsin officials are challenging the community to put safety first, help prevent crashes, and save lives on state roads and highways.   The Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s (WisDOT) new Buckle Up Phone Down campaign asks everyone to show support for two simple measures: use a seat belt every time you get in the car and stay off your phone while driving.   “The safety of everyone in Wisconsin is our top priority,” Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes said. “Distracted driving and not wearing your seat belt can be deadly. But these devastating incidents can be prevented. Everyone can do two simple
