Wisconsin is thrilled to host the World Dairy Expo each year. There's no better place than America's Dairyland to bring together folks from across the dairy industry and from across the globe to learn from each other, share innovations, and compete on the international stage.

That's 45,000 small business owners, farmers, seniors, families, and Wisconsinites across our state who were priced out and kicked off their healthcare coverage because Republicans in Congress refused to make healthcare more affordable for working families.

I was honored to join in celebrating 25 years of Focus on Energy and to recognize four outstanding Energy Efficiency Champions. I was also surprised with my own Energy Efficiency Champion Award! Together, we're building a stronger, more efficient, and more sustainable Wisconsin.

Farmers who have worked hard and played by the rules are now on the verge of financial collapse because the war in Iran is squeezing them on all sides. It doesn’t have to be like this — the president is choosing for it to be like this.

This administration hasn’t got their way to totally shut down the Department of Education, so instead, they are throwing sand in the gears and making life harder for schools. Make no mistake, this will have real consequences for our families and schools. www.npr.org/2026/09/24/n...

Even with sky-high diesel prices, kids still have to get to school, groceries still have to be delivered to stores, crops still have to be harvested, and garbage still has to be picked up. President Trump's out-of-control costs hurt everyone.
