MADISON, WI – State Senator Kristin Dassler-Alfheim (D-Appleton) released the following statement in response to Governor Evers’ announcement that he will not be seeking re-election:

“Governor Tony Evers has never been afraid to do what needs to be done to move Wisconsin forward, especially in tumultuous times, whether that be reaching across the aisle, tackling the needs of our state during the pandemic, or standing up to far-right extremism. He’s proven time and time again his commitment to supporting our public schools and communities to the benefit of the children of Wisconsin, and for that he has both my respect and gratitude. I wish him and his family all the best.”
