We’ve fought to support Wisconsin’s family farms and agricultural producers during my time as governor, and now, we're in the top 10 for exports. We cannot let Republicans’ reckless trade wars and tariff taxes jeopardize our progress. vernonreporter.com/governors-of...

I did take D to the parade in Viola which was not impressive but D’s boyfriend was in the marching band and I got to spend time with my grandbaby 🥰.

Nobody has ever come trick or treating to our rural home, so we’re doing nothing. One less thing!

I used to, but since I can deposit checks with the app, I rarely interact with the tellers anymore.

Both. But I was not expecting Barnes to drop out. It was weird that Evers threw his support to not him, wonder if that had anything to do with it. He seemed like Hong’s biggest rival.

Today, we're celebrating 178 years of the Dairy State! 🎉 From our Great Lakes coasts and the banks of the Mississippi to our rolling farmlands and vast Northwoods, what makes our state really great is the Cheeseheads who call it home. Happy Birthday, Wisconsin!
