Having a highly skilled first responder workforce is vital to the health and safety of our communities. It was great to join the Wausau Fire Department as they launched their first firefighter/paramedic apprenticeship program with nine apprentices joining the program.

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.

That’s a wrap on Cabinet on the Road 2026! Hearing directly from Wisconsinites is one of the most important parts of my job as governor—and we can connect the dots better when the whole team does it together! Nothing beats a day in the best darn state with the best darn team.

What are Republicans out in D.C. doing to lower costs for working families? Because from over here, it looks like a whole lot of nothing.

President Trump and Republicans are not only driving up costs on groceries, they've gut programs that help families keep food on the table. Because of Republicans, there are kids, families, and seniors in Wisconsin and across America going hungry today. Shameful.

It was an honor to join leaders in Sheboygan County to celebrate 100 years of care at the Rocky Knoll Health Care Center. My father was the medical director there for 32 years, so I know firsthand just how amazing of a place it is. Congratulations on 100 years, Rocky Knoll!

Higher education should be affordable and accessible to all those who choose to pursue it. That's why we've fought hard to invest in our UWs all across our state, including UW-Superior. It was great to visit campus and talk with students as they kick off another great semester.

This PFAS Awareness Week, I am proud of our efforts to secure $125 million to fight PFAS statewide and to hold polluters accountable, but we still have much more work to do. We are going to keep fighting to ensure every Wisconsinite has clean, safe water straight from the tap.

Linda's right. Chaotic tariff taxes and uncertainty caused by trade wars won’t help our farmers—and their work putting food on the table here at home and the world over is hard enough as it is.
“There’s a lot of moving parts in this, more moving parts than just the tariffs being raised now. I just don’t think any of it’s going to be helpful to any farmer.” -Catawba Dairy Farmer Linda Ceylor on President Trump’s trade war with Canada

Thanks to President Trump and Congressional Republicans' disastrous economic policies, tariff taxes, and trade wars, the 2026–27 school year will cost families close to $4,000 per kid. That's 10.7% MORE than last year. Wisconsin families cannot afford Republicans.
