BREAKING: Average gas price per gallon in Wisconsin is almost $4 after going up more than 50 cents in a week. I’m urging Congress to suspend the federal gas tax—18.4 cents per gallon—until 2023 to help bring down gas prices for folks across our state. Wisconsinites can’t wait.
Is this why you’ve twice proposed freezing kids out of school choice programs that let students attend schools that best fit their needs, instead of the one assigned by their zip code?
Whether a child is born in Milwaukee or Marshfield, whether their parents are rich or not - they should have the opportunity they need to succeed. Let’s continue moving Wisconsin forward.
In case you forgot,
@GovEvers
has vetoed bills this month that would:
1. Give more students education opportunity
2. Protect free speech on campuses
3. Expand nurses ability to provide care to patients
Under his policies, Wisconsin continues to fall behind.
Rain won’t stop this crew in Waukesha County from talking to voters about how important the US Senate election is in Wisconsin this year!

The Chair of Wisconsin's Board of Nursing resigned today because of
@GovEvers
mistaken and hypocritical veto of the advanced practice nursing bill.
Sharing now some of the quotes from his resignation letter calling out this veto.

Meanwhile, check out these actual projects built by the companies pushing for this monopoly in Wisconsin. Cost overrun after cost overrun after cost overrun.
All paid for by ALL OF US on our monthly energy bills.
BIG NEWS: in 17-18—the last full fiscal year before Gov. Evers took office—the state’s general fund had a GAAP deficit of $1.25 billion.
Under
@GovEvers
, the state ended fiscal year 20-21 with the largest positive GAAP balance in Wisconsin state history at $1.18 billion.
Wisconsin makes the best beer in the world. Our brewers are an important part of our

economy, and I’m proud to be their champion in the Senate.
Cheers to that! 🍻
Part of the tax cut
@GovEvers
vetoed?
Lowering from 5.3% to 4.4% for:
- single filers with income between $25,520 and $280,950
- married couples making between $34,030 and $374,600
That's a lot of middle class families not getting substantial tax relief now.
Hey,
@GovEvers
can you explain to me why we wouldn’t want advanced practice nurses to be able to provide care to Wisconsin patients at the full extent of their medical training? Isn’t increasing access to care, especially in underserved areas, important?
WI needs to increase patient options and access to care, not limit them. And Rebecca Kleefisch was spot on yesterday when asked about
@GovEvers
veto of the advanced nurse bill:
His veto was basically telling nurses that we are taking a 'hard pass on their continued empowerment'.
Big corporations are raising prices on middle class families & taking in record profits — all while hiding behind inflation.
These price hikes aren’t a mystery to me. That’s why I’m working to pass legislation to increase transparency & hold these big corporations accountable.
The headline says it all.
Our court now has 4 politicians playing by the left’s rules and to advance their politics cause instead of jurists following and respecting the constitution.

$36 is the average income tax cut that taxpayers will get under the tax cut
@GovEvers
signed into law after vetoing most of what Republicans approved
Under the original GOP plan, the average reduction was $573
The nonpartisan Fiscal Bureau released new estimates today
The WI Assembly just passed a constitutional amendment to limit the governor's partial veto authority from creating or increasing any tax or fee.
Taxpayers should support this amendment after
@GovEvers
unnecessarily created a 402 year property tax hike using the partial veto.
Or, hear me out on this, shrinkflation is inflation. And inflation is being driven by your out of control government spending sprees.
Senator, you can learn more at .
If you’ve noticed grocery products getting smaller but the price remaining the same, it’s not you that’s crazy. It’s big corporations and their price-gouging tactics.
@SenBobCasey
and I have a bill to change that.
This right here is why we need Eric Hovde in the Senate - he will take our national debt seriously and help get it under control.
Future generations simply cannot afford another six years of
@tammybaldwin
and her spending.
31 Wisconsin democrats just voted against “School Choice Week and recognizing the right of parents to select the best educational path for their children.”
Partisanship in its worse form.
BREAKING on
@AP
Seven unions representing teachers and other public workers in Wisconsin filed a lawsuit Thursday attempting to end the state’s near-total ban on collective bargaining for most public employees.
$150 election year gimmick when inflation has made the cost of basic goods go up over $250 per month in a year.
How about real, meaningful tax cuts instead?

When I tweet support for things like tax cuts & education freedom, the lefty keyboard warrior trolls immediately call me “honey” “buttercup” and “sweetheart” but they never call men those nicknames. It’s almost like they think women aren’t allowed to think for themselves. 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Over 30 years ago, Wisconsin was a pioneer with the first school choice program in the country.
With today's vote, Wisconsin will soon be leading on education freedom once again.
Still thankful and proud to see how UW students came to testify about why they thought AB 885 was so needed for the protection of free expression rights.
@GovEvers
should have taken a few minutes listened to them before vetoing this bill.
The best afternoon with some rockstar volunteers in Platteville talking to voters about why we need

in the Senate to bring back the American Dream!
Hey

You can hear from residents about how your policies are making it harder on them.
Hey,
@Tony4WI
- if you bothered listening to parents and students instead of the education establishment, you would know this is the one and only time you should probably follow the lead of Illinois' current Governor.
Big day today in Wisconsin. Signing one of the largest tax cuts in state history and investing more than $100 million in new funds in Wisconsin's kids and schools calls for a twist cone!
We are at Egg Rolls Inc. in Appleton today providing inflation relief from

today about how we can make prosperity possible for all Wisconsinites.
Lower taxes.
Energy affordability and reliability.
More opportunity for all.
It's time for
@GovEvers
to take this issue more seriously and admit the error of his veto and the negative impact it will have on healthcare access across the state.
"This veto felt like you have a pure disregard for our profession, and frankly your veto message made it clear you and your administration know very little about the day-to-day work of advance practices nurses in Wisconsin."

will you stand with the rights of workers to control where their paychecks go or with union bosses?

to protect worker freedoms in Wisconsin!
At our Milwaukee event this morning, I talked with a guy whose birthday is today - he told me because times are tough right now the only celebration he would be having was the free gas.

isn’t working.
If Janet Protasiewicz wins on April 4th, Wisconsin will be headed down the same path with an activist, liberal court.
Protect worker freedom. Vote Dan Kelly.
Good to know

On the same day
@GovEvers
vetoes a bill to expand scope of practice for nurse practitioners, Kansas’ gov signs it into law.
We are falling behind because of Governor Evers’ bad policies.
After years of fighting for more affordable options and access to health care, today, Gov. Kelly signed a bill that grants full practice authority for nurse practitioners. Read our full statement 👇🏽

Nikki Haley can beat Joe Biden and win the White House. She can win in my great Commonwealth of PA. I hear it from my suburban friends. From the Tea Party vision of small govt to bringing fiscal sanity back to America. Let’s do it!!
Here,
@RickEsenberg
& I cover both the policy & legal implications of
@GovEvers
partial veto that will result in about $57 billion in new taxes over the next 20 years. TLDR: It's a bad deal for taxpayers & may be illegal based on prior pecedent.
Things Evers should address tonight to help all of who are still struggling with the impacts of COVID19:
-Better vaccine distribution plan
-Funding students, not empty school buildings
-Fix the remaining unemployment backlog
-Keeping businesses and schools open safely

’s policies and ready for a better economy with lower inflation, unleashed American energy and worker
Average gas prices are creeping closer and closer to $5/gallon. Formula is still impossible to find. Groceries are an extra $40/week for families. Daycare costs have skyrocketed as well (if you can even find care).
Our families can't afford the Biden/Evers economy.
Gas prices rising. Electricity costs through the roof. More expensive groceries. Inflation continues to increase year over year.
The policies of both
@POTUS
and
@GovEvers
are to blame.

Once again, the Biden Administration is coming to Wisconsin tomorrow to try a spin
#Bidenomics
as a win for our state.
It's not. And Wisconsinites know it.
That's why we'll be in Milwaukee tomorrow morning to provide some relief at the pump for the first 100 cars in line!
The fact is, the wealthy already have enough money to buy their yachts and take submarine rides. They don’t need us to further cut public education, healthcare, and public safety for that.
Instead, we can invest in the things that help all Wisconsinites.
Our awesome
@AFPAction
crew is out talking to voters about why we need to re-elect Senator Ron Johnson this fall! He’s our only hope to fix inflation and get out economy back on track!!
"In conclusion, this veto appeared politically motivated to appease a small group of doctors who want to dictate nursing practice and that, unfortunately, makes this Board of Nursing ineffective."
Wonderful to hear from Rebecca Bradley at the
@AFPWI
Women of Milwaukee Coalition event celebrating the 19th Amendment! Throughout history, women have led the grassroots fighting for opportunity!
That almost covers the increase for ONE WEEK in my weekly grocery bill because of
#inflation
.
Meanwhile, we could have had much more meaningful, substantial tax relief for families and small business owners.
For those who aren’t following the formula shortage… my neighborhood mom group is currently texting back and forth trying to find certain formula brands for their babies, babies of family members in different states and trying to coordinate donations for pregnancy centers.
Meanwhile in
#Milwaukee
, people were lined up an hour early to hear about
#ProsperityisPossible
and some help with their groceries this week.
This economy is leaving too many Wisconsinites behind.
Wisconsin businesses: public school graduates are not prepared for job opportunities, we need to fix this.
Very reasonable response from DPI (practically): WHY DO YOU HATE SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS AND KIDS?
Packed room at our

Milwaukee office to learn about how we can empower students and parents!
First up,
@LibbySobic
giving a great run down on what education options students have to unleash each child’s individual talents!
Votes with him 95.5% of the time but ducks every appearance Biden or his surrogates make in state.
It’s almost like Tammy votes one way in DC and then tries to run away from her record when she finally comes back to Wisconsin.
Cars are lined up for our
#TrueCostofWashington
event starting soon in Milwaukee!
Wisconsinites can’t afford to continue paying more but getting less!!
"Most unfortunate for our workforce challenge, this veto will discourage current nurses from moving towards an advanced... degree, which further erodes access to care. Current advanced practice nurses will move to states where they can practice to the full extent of their scope."
"Removing the unnecessary practice barriers from Advanced Practice Nurses would only increase access to quality care for our rural areas. With no changes, this issue will get exponentially worse with time, a time when we have an aging population."
