Representative Kalan Haywood

I'm pleased to be unanimously elected by my colleagues to serve as Assistant Democratic Leader. To the people of Wisconsin, I look forward to helping lead my caucus with you first in mind. The will of the people, shall be the law of the land.

It is of the utmost importance that our children feel safe and are safe at school. As legislators, we must do all we can to provide adequate frameworks, tools, and resources to ensure every case of misconduct in schools is handled with seriousness and care.

Great Win! #MagicBrew

Today on the Assembly floor, I made it clear — ‘good enough’ isn’t good enough. Wisconsin families deserve real, affordable housing solutions. We’ll keep fighting until affordability is the expectation, not the exception.

Joined @SenatorBaldwin on her Fighting for Wisconsin Families Tour with a stop in the Sensational 16th! We toured the ThriveOn Collaboration and met with local leaders working to uplift our community.

Gov. Evers led with decency, vision, and grit. He showed up for people, protected voters’ voices, and kept us jazzed about doing what’s right even when it wasn’t easy. I’m grateful for his friendship, his leadership, and everything he’s done for Wisconsin. @GovEvers

Rail plays a crucial role in Wisconsin’s broader transportation network, enhancing connectivity, promoting sustainability, and driving economic growth. Investing in its development is essential, and I remain committed to advocating for a stronger, more efficient rail system.

Hearing from these experts provided valuable insights into advancing Wisconsin’s rail infrastructure, particularly in the less accessible regions of our state.

I had the privilege of hosting the Passenger Rail Coalition Advocacy Day in the Capitol, where, as the Ranking Member on the Transportation committee, I engaged with pioneers in the transportation sector.

Black history is a roadmap. We honor the resilience, brilliance, and sacrifice of those who came before us, but our work is far from over. Let their legacy fuel our fight for justice, equality, and progress. The past paved the way, but the future is ours to build.

While this fight isn’t over, today’s reversal shows that unconstitutional overreach won’t go unchecked. I’ll keep standing up for Wisconsin and holding extremists accountable because Wisconsin families need stability, not political games.

Donald Trump has rescinded his reckless order to freeze federal funding. This is a win for Wisconsin families who rely on these critical resources.

Thankfully a federal judge has temporarily blocked this illegal and unethical freeze. It is my hope that this Constitutional overstep is sorted out quickly to restore certainty to these critical services.

These actions – straight from Project 2025 - are causing uncertainty and panic across the country as many people rely on social services in their everyday lives.

Trump’s divisive and illegal scheme to unilaterally freeze federal funding will have disastrous effects for Wisconsinites and their families.

Together, we aim to drive meaningful progress for our communities. @MayorMKE

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting with Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson to discuss our shared legislative priorities for the 2025-2026 session. We are dedicated to advancing policies that foster Milwaukee’s growth and prosperity while ensuring benefits for all Wisconsinites.

Housing transcends brick and mortar; it is the foundation for a better quality of life.

Today, I had the privilege of receiving the 2024 Friend of Housing award from @WiscBuilders. In the upcoming session, I am committed to championing policies that make affordable quality housing not just a dream, but a reality for all Wisconsin families.

I’ve supported the Capitol One CBP and continue to support investments in our community. The $265 billion investment will improve financial stability, healthcare access, and housing. I look forward with great hope to see the positive impact this will have on our community.
