Today, I'm announcing my retirement from the Wisconsin Assembly. Thank you for trusting me to represent you all these years!

Happy Armed Forces Day and Military Appreciation Month to everyone serving in our Armed Forces!

Today, as part of National Police Week, we honor the brave men and women in law enforcement who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Our thoughts are with their families and colleagues today💙.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, the Senate failed to concur with us on our plan to return $1.8 billion of the surplus to Wisconsin taxpayers. Across the country, families are feeling the strain of rising costs. The #WIAssembly and @GovEvers wanted to do our part by using $1.8 billion from the state surplus to help families manage rising costs, reward hard work, and continue investing in special education. Instead, that money will remain in the state’s coffers. It’s disappointing that this surplus will not be returned to you, the taxpayers who overpaid.

This bill is the result of months of bipartisan negotiations. I am proud to support the compromise before us today and look forward to seeing it signed into law so we can return the surplus to Wisconsinites and help families address rising costs! (🧵8/8)

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our moms!💐

I never thought that when Ashley asked to be my campaign manager for my primary in 2013 that I would end up gaining two great friends in you and Ashley. You, Ashley and Adam are the reason why I won that special election and I would not have served all these years if she hadn’t asked to help me. I love you both. Thank you for your friendship.

Thirteen years ago, my wife managed @RepJessie’s first campaign. I couldn’t be happier that she did. Wisconsin got a dedicated public servant, but we gained an even closer friend. She’ll be greatly missed in the Capitol, but am excited to see what’s next.

Today is National Nurses Day. Thank you, nurses!🩺

This week is National Teacher Appreciation Week, and today is National Teachers’ Day. Thank you, teachers, for all you do to help our kids learn and grow!🍎
