Wisconsin Senate Democrats

Wisconsin Democrats fought alongside Gail Zeamer’s courageous family to expand access to lifesaving breast cancer screenings for women who are at higher risk. Today, after passing both the Senate and the Assembly, Gail’s Law becomes a reality. wsaw.com/2026/03/19/gov…

Legislative Democrats fought hard for this bill which will improve the health of moms and babies and reduce the all-too-high maternal mortality rates among Black women. A good day for Wisconsin! cbs58.com/news/this-was-…

What is likely to be the last work day of 2026 for the State Senate is over. The Republican majority refused to address rising costs. Here is @WISenRatcliff's powerful statement about that failure and Senate Democrats' commitment to keep on fighting for the people we serve.

As today's Senate floor session winds down, @SenatorDrake stepped off the floor to express what many Democrats feel: frustration that the Republican majority has not focused on bills to reduce costs for Wisconsin families. It will be a new day when Democrats are in the majority.

During a break in the Senate’s floor session today, @SenBradPfaff took a moment to share the unfortunate news that Republicans have just voted no on his amendment to cap the cost of insulin at $35. Ensuring that lifesaving medication is affordable should not be a partisan issue.

Whether it is the first day of our work on the senate floor or the last, Senate Democrats remain focused on reducing costs for Wisconsin families. Senate Democratic Leader @SenHesselbein made that case forcefully on @WISN12News Upfront this morning. youtu.be/u-8DddDzyMM

Antisemitic violence is on the rise. Everyone should be able to practice their faith in safety and in peace. We are strongest when we stand together against hate and violence. npr.org/2026/03/12/nx-…

Rising costs for health care, housing, and groceries are making it harder for Wisconsin families to get ahead. Senate Democrats have introduced bill after bill to lower costs but Republicans have failed to act. wpr.org/economy/essent…

River, a Miracle League of Dane County participant, wrote Limbitless, a book about the power of community support for people with limb differences. A @RiverFallsHS student brought it to life through music. Thanks to @WISenRatcliff for highlighting the story.

Wisconsin cheesemakers are among the best on the planet and the results at the World Championship Cheese Contest proved it! Glad @SenSpreitzer had the opportunity to salute one of the world-class cheesemakers in his District, Decatur Dairy, during his visit to the Championships!

Senate Democrats take the time to see firsthand what’s happening in their districts. State Senator Kristin Dassler-Alfheim spent time recently at the outstanding Surgical Tech program at @FoxValleyTech.

Assistant Democratic Leader @sensmithwi is absolutely correct: why have Republicans indicated the Senate will have its final regular session in March when there is so much more work to do?! youtube.com/shorts/oOrGQpq…

At a time when rising costs are affecting Wisconsinites, this commonsense bill would ensure that families can afford to attend the concerts and sporting events they love. @SenBradPfaff and Senator Sarah Keyeski make a great team! wqow.com/news/politics-…

March is Women’s History Month - a time to honor the women who have shaped Wisconsin’s history and our nation. From educators and small business owners to advocates and community leaders, women across Wisconsin strengthen our families, workforce, and communities.

41% of nurses who leave the workforce cite stress and understaffing. Thanks to @SenChrisLarson, @WISenRatcliff, and @SenHesselbein for fighting for the Nurse Staffing and Patient Protection Act to set safe staffing standards and protect patients. wkow.com/news/politics/…

Instead of focusing on lowering costs for Wisconsinites, Senate Republicans are wasting time on a partisan witch hunt. @WIStateSenJodi and @WISenRatcliff are pushing back hard on unfounded allegations and unnecessary political grandstanding. newsfromthestates.com/article/kaul-a…

National #PublicSchoolWeek is a good time to reflect on the importance of our public schools and the impact educators have had on our lives. @SenBradPfaff shares some of his thoughts in the wonderful video below!

State Senator Sarah Keyeski, an avid knitter, was a guest teacher at DeForest High School. Sen. Keyeski calls knitting “moving meditation and a creative outlet for making beautiful and practical items.” Kudos to the students who “kept calm and carried yarn” during the process!

Legislative Democrats are focused on the number one issue for Wisconsinites: reducing costs. That’s why @sensmithwi's proposal to eliminate the sales tax on over-the-counter medication is so timely and makes so much sense. madison.com/news/state-reg…

Let’s “face it”: After Governor Tony Evers delivered his final State of the State Address, Senate Democrats saluted the Governor for his tireless focus on what’s best for Wisconsin kids and families.
