According to prepared remarks the guv’s office released today, Evers will lay out three challenges to addressing the state’s workforce challenges, including addressing child care. His list also includes expanding paid family medical leave, a proposal Republicans rejected in the 2023-25 state budget, and investing in public education “at every level.”

Assembly Majority Leader Tyler August blasted Rep. Janel Brandtjen as a grifter for repeatedly trying to introduce a resolution to impeach Wisconsin Election Administrator Meagan Wolfe during Tuesday’s floor session.
The petition, filed yesterday, argued a foundation of the lines now in place was the court’s 2021 decision to take a “least change approach” to the maps that Republican lawmakers drew a decade earlier. Now that the new liberal majority has thrown out that standard, the brief argues, there’s no justification to keep in place congressional lines based upon the same principle.
Gov. Tony Evers, who hasn’t said whether he will seek a third term in 2026, raised money at a slower clip last year than he did over the same period four years earlier.
