(Madison) – As Senate Republicans like Ron Johnson delay the budget resolution and COVID-19 relief with procedural tactics, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler released the following statement:

“The nearly 6,000 Wisconsinites who have died from COVID-19, nearly 600,000 Wisconsinites who have tested positive for the virus, and thousands more struggling to make ends meet during the pandemic deserve better than Ron Johnson’s political games with COVID relief. This budget resolution is a clear path towards reopening schools, protecting small businesses, and getting vaccines into communities, and it has the broad support of the American people. Senator Johnson should join with Democrats to get Wisconsinites the relief we need and end the circus delaying critical relief.”
