When Wisconsin Watch asks about Wisconsin, you deliver. I’m so grateful to my grandparents for instilling hard work in me (and for instilling the love of cheese too! 🧀) #SaraforWI

Big news: @missyforwi.bsky.social is with us. 💙 She led Wisconsin's WEDC, ran a real race, and chose to put the mission first. That's how we win in November.

Happy Father's Day, Wisconsin. Spent the morning in Ripon for the FFA Alumni Country Breakfast. On a family farm what gets passed down isn't just the land. It's how you work. Show up. Take care of what you're given. Thinking about every dad doing the work today.

Tom Tiffany voted against making Juneteenth a federal holiday. And he voted against the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act — twice. A man who won't stand up for the freedom of every Wisconsinite has no business being governor of all of them.

Generations of courage have narrowed the gap between a promise made and a promise kept — but the work isn't finished. We carry that courage forward, toward a Wisconsin where freedom isn't just declared, it's lived. Happy Juneteenth.

Trump, asked about inflation hitting a 3-year high: "I love the inflation." Tom Tiffany has voted for his cost-raising agenda 100% of the time. Wisconsin families pay for it every month — at the store, at the pump, at the pharmacy. They love it. We don't.

Wisconsin hasn’t had a Democratic governor and Democratic majorities in the legislature in over 15 years. This is our shot – governor, legislature, all of it. That’s the difference between fighting for Wisconsin families and delivering for them.

Trump promised to lower costs on day one. Instead Wisconsin families are paying more for groceries, more for gas, more for health care, more for housing. Every single month. Congressman Tom Tiffany has done zilch about it. That tells you everything you need to know.

I grew up in a working-class family. My grandparents were dairy farmers, my mom was a union teaching assistant, and my dad served during Vietnam and fixed phones. I learned early what it means to work hard and still need things to go right. Those are the families I’m fighting for.

Sara Rodriguez @saraforwi.com · 03/06/2026
From Kenosha to Superior, and every stop in between, each conversation reminds me how much is at stake. Wisconsinites are working hard and still coming up short on health care, childcare, housing, groceries. That's not okay. And it's why I'm running to make life more affordable.

I’m pretty sure half of Waukesha county was out this morning. Kids everywhere, lawn chairs all along the route. Grateful for a Memorial Day spent with neighbors.

Sara Rodriguez @saraforwi.com · 25/05/2026
The greatest tribute we can offer is to live in a way that honors what they gave. To care for one another. To serve the country they served. To make sure the families they left behind are never alone with that flag. With gratitude, Sara

Our state is home to generations of Gold Star families, communities that have sent their sons and daughters to serve, and veterans who returned carrying the memory of friends who did not. From cemeteries where flags line the rows this weekend to empty seats at family tables, today belongs to them.

My dad taught all of his kids to fold a flag the way he'd been taught in the Navy during Vietnam. I grew up understanding what military service asks of a family. My father came home. Too many didn't — and across Wisconsin today, families still hold the flag that was folded for them.

A Sunday like this is what hard work is supposed to buy you. Time at the farmers market. Time at the kid's game. Time with the people you love. Every family in Wisconsin has earned it.

Real campaigns are built one neighbor at a time — in cheese curd lines at Falls Memorial Fest. 🧀 Parents. Seniors. Small business owners. Every conversation today was a reminder of what's at stake in 2026 — and who we're fighting for. 💙

Tom Tiffany voted to strip healthcare from 270,000 Wisconsinites. His plan to make care affordable? He doesn't have one. I'm a nurse. I've stood with families cutting pills in half to stretch meds. Wisconsin deserves better. Here's my plan. ⬇️ www.saraforwi.com/issues/issue...

I'm running for governor because Wisconsin families deserve a fair shot at a good life: affordable health care, strong public schools, housing you can actually buy, childcare that doesn't eat half your paycheck. That's not too much to ask. And it's what I'll fight for every single day.

I worked night shifts as an ER nurse to pay my way through college. Later I was juggling a career, two kids, and caring for my dad through Alzheimer's. I know what it means to look at a calendar, a checkbook, and a child's face and do the math. That's why I'll never stop fighting for childcare.

Gas up. Groceries up. Health care out of reach. Child care costing more than rent. Trump says he doesn't think about it. Tom Tiffany doesn't either. I do. Every day. And as governor, I'll fight for you.

Today is #ADayWithoutChildCare. As a working mom, I know what it's like to scramble for care and to worry about affording it. Without child care, Wisconsinites can't work night shifts, serve their communities, or pursue their careers. Child care makes everything else possible.

30 years in health care. I've never seen a bill designed to do this much harm to this many people on purpose. $72 million a year - Wisconsin taxpayers footing the bill to kick people off their coverage. That's not a budget cut. That's cruelty with a price tag. Tom Tiffay voted for it. He owns it.

I got into public service for the same reason I became a nurse: to make a difference. As governor, I’m going to fund our public schools, create affordable health care options, lower the costs of childcare and housing, and give every Wisconsinite a shot at a good life.

“Nursing is not a professional degree.” Tell that to every nurse, every person with a nurse in the family, every person who has been under the care of a nurse or watched a nurse care for their loved ones. Nurses are professionals, period, full stop. And this ruling is bullshit.

In every county I’ve heard stories of health care costs crushing families. It’s unacceptable that families choose between paying premiums and putting food on the table. As a nurse for nearly 30 years, you can trust that I’ll fight like hell to make sure everyone has access to affordable care.

I grew up in a union household. My parents taught me that working people make Wisconsin work — and that every worker deserves to come home safe. Today we honor those we've lost on the job and fight to protect those still on the clock. #WorkersMemorialDay

WI farmers are facing skyrocketing fertilizer and fuel costs, uncertainty in markets, and a Congress that hasn't updated the farm bill since 2018. Instead of helping, Tom Tiffany is making things worse. WI farmers deserve a governor who has their back and works as hard for them as they do for us.
