Thanks for the kind words. I take Lexapro. I see two different therapists. Overall there is no need to worry but I am focused on improving myself. I put this out there publicly just in case I can help one person. It’s okay to not be okay. I am happy to take on this role in life

Assembly Dem leader @RepGreta says she hasn't spoken w/ @GovEvers since last night's session.
Asked about open hostility to Evers from the caucus: "I think we come to work every day trying to do the right thing, and obviously tensions got a little high in the Capitol in recent days, but I'm not really interested in getting into the back and forth or the blame game. We're just going to move forward and try to do what's right for the people of Wisconsin."

@SenatorBaldwin How’s that bill for greater access to Packer games going?

Trump keeps lying about the 2020 election because he just can’t accept Wisconsinites rejected him fair and square. Now, it looks like he is trying to use fear and intimidation to rewrite history and lay the foundation to silence voters in the next election. It needs to stop, now.

"At the end of the day, it didn't pass."
This morning Dem candidate for gov, current Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez, on if she backed the tax relief deal or how she would have voted: "Our motto in Wisconsin is forward, and that's what I'm looking forward to."

@sbauerAP @MissyforWI @GovEvers All they want is the money - none of them give a shit about providing any relief to over taxed taxpayers.

Democratic candidate for Wisconsin governor @MissyforWI out with a strong statement against "self-serving Democratic candidates" who opposed the bipartisan deal reached by @GovEvers and Republican leaders.
All Democratic state senators, and 3 Republicans, voted against it

Last night, Tom Tiffany killed a common sense plan to invest more badly-needed resources in our schools, and to provide property tax relief to Wisconsin families struggling with high costs. Shockingly, Tiffany was aided and abetted by certain self-serving Democratic candidates for governor who would rather boost their own personal political ambitions than serve our kids and taxpayers. Imagine if those candidates had acted like the leaders they profess to be. Imagine if they had paused before sending press releases and Twitter threads and jumping to name calling. Imagine if they had set aside their bruised egos and leaned in. Ultimately, they could still have voted no or opposed the bill, but they never even gave it due diligence. That’s not leadership, that’s gamesmanship. These Democratic candidates exposed themselves for lacking the maturity and responsibility a governor must have if they are to move our entire state forward. Over the past few months, I have listened to their plans to spend every last penny of the surplus (sometimes a few times over) with no plans for what happens next. I’m the only candidate with plans and experience to build an economy and create good paying jobs for Wisconsinites. They were mad that others, including their own Governor who has delivered them fair maps, had suggestions for their piggy bank. Don’t believe the revisionist narrative that they care about fiscal responsibility. They just want to be completely in charge of all of the surplus. This endless partisan warfare, disrespect, and politicians only looking out for themselves is exactly why Wisconsinites are so disgusted with politics and rightly believe our system is broken. As our next Governor, I will stand up to Trump. I will seek bipartisan solutions and I won’t call names and throw insults. And I will continue to get things done for our people.

@StateRepHong Just stop bashing everyone else and tell us what your plan is in detail.
English
The hole Republicans were trying to dig themselves out of yesterday is one they created themselves. For years, their financial abandonment of public education, property taxpayers, and working-class families has pushed our communities toward a financial cliff.
Now instead of…
English
@MissyforWI Yep, blame Tiffany when all the Dem candidates tripped over themselves to see who could condemn it the fastest. Just ridiculous.

BREAKING: Just minutes after the Assembly passes a $1.8 billion school funding/tax relief package, the Senate votes it down, 18-15.
Three Republicans join all 15 Dems to kill the Evers-GOP compromise in the Senate
English
Fran is correct and she has the best plan to full fund our schools, tax the rich, and lower our property taxes by 44%.
In the Assembly, I’ll fight hard to get Governor Hong’s plan passed.
No more bandaids.
Francesca Hong For Governor@FrancescaHongWI
I’ve been running on fully funded schools since day one. When I’m governor, I’m going to do this the right way: with a tax code that ensures corporations and the super rich pay their share. Working-class people get tax relief, schools get what they need. Permanently.
English
@JuForthePeople Schools already get too much.
Schools are failing.
Tax only women since they love to spend and most teachers are female.
English
The deal between Governor Evers and Republican legislators is a compromise that’s far from perfect, and it’s a reminder of how much better off Wisconsin would be with Democratic majorities in the state legislature.
I support increasing funding for public schools and special education, and providing property tax relief for homeowners. I also support doing more. The real problem is that the Trump-Tiffany economy has placed such an enormous burden on Wisconsin families, and they need more support. We still have a lot of work to do to lower the cost of living by expanding access to affordable healthcare, childcare and housing.
That’s why I am running for Governor, and when we win, we will deliver the help Wisconsinites need.

And now, Dem state Senate leader Dianne Hesselbein indicates she is not supportive of the Dem guv's deal with GOP leaders: "From my perspective, there is no deal: Three men who will not be in elected office next year have come up with this proposal which Senate Dems will be reviewing."

@MollyBeck @mattsmith_news I don’t think David Crowley was that critical…he’s the only one thay makes sense.

David Crowley@DavidCCrowley
More funding for our schools and special ed programs is a win for Wisconsin. Governor Evers deserves credit for finding the common ground to make this possible. But a one-year property tax break is not a long-term affordability plan.

Two Dem candidates for governor are criticizing Dem Gov. Tony Evers' tax/schools deal with GOP leaders.
Evers' former DOA Secretary Joel Brennan: "Budgets are difficult to negotiate and demand tough decisions, and that’s why I believe they must be done in public with input from Wisconsinites. It's very disappointing that this one wasn't"
English
@FrancescaHongWI @GovEvers The state has been sitting on this money for months, you can’t hold it from the taxpayers for a lot of what ifs.
English
@GovEvers' bargain with the GOP is bad for Wisconsin, and I will be voting no.
This backroom deal is a payday loan taken out at the expense of our children, our infrastructure, our economy, and our future.

Please refrain from shitting on Perkins today. He lost his mom to cancer back in July. I can’t imagine the emotions he’s going through right now.
We love you, Blake ❤️
