@TheOtherMandela And that’s a fair critique and should be looked into. Every “disaster” or upgrade requires the users to pay more, vs the utility paying from its profits.

When was the last time you heard about a struggling utility company? They’re growing their profits, and Wisconsinites are paying the price.

Every WA voter attests they are a U.S. citizen. The penalty for lying is ≤5 yrs in prison &/or a $10k fine. And somehow people think that immigrants who won’t even go to the grocery store, who are afraid take their kids to school, are signing up for a felony by voting illegally?

Wisconsin Democratic Senate Leader @SenHesselbein (D-Middleton) criticizes state Republicans for funding voucher schools while voters are asked to increase their property taxes. "It's clear that Republicans in the Senate are comfortable watching your property taxes rise each year, despite the burden and rising costs they're already placing on hard-working families. This is absolutely ridiculous."

Democrats are trying to fund the TSA. Trump rejected the offer. If there's anyone to blame, it's your cult leader!
House Republicans@HouseGOP

Kim and her husband got to @BWI_Airport 2 hours early but nearly MISSED their flight because the security line wait was over 90 MINUTES because Democrats REFUSE to fund TSA. Our country’s air travel system CANNOT HANDLE THIS! DEMOCRATS MUST FUND DHS NOW!!

@TheOtherMandela When you say “expand access to healthcare”what do you mean? Big chunks of the State are healthcare deserts, before you look at specialties such as OB/Gyn, pediatrics, etc.

Over the years, I’ve met hardworking people in every corner of Wisconsin. Now, as I travel across the state, too many of our communities are struggling. That’s why, as governor, I’ll fight to: 🏥Expand access to healthcare 💵Lift wages ⚡Freeze the rates

@GovEvers Governor, the ACA is insurance, not healthcare. If we want to advance the conversations, we need to be honest about what is and isn’t. And stop pointing fingers… because your party could have addressed the issue when they had all the power, but they didn’t.

Today, we're celebrating the 16th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. As Republicans continue their attacks on healthcare, we will never stop fighting to make healthcare more affordable and more accessible—not more expensive and harder to find.

@WisDems So, you’re saying a judge ruled the government didn’t pass its rules correctly, and that’s a bad thing why? Shouldn’t we want our judges to step in and say, “No <three letter agency>, you actually cannot demand that given how you made the rule. Do it right first, then…”?

Happy World Water Day! Wisconsin values our pristine fresh water. It is a treasure. On another note, Maria Lazar judged that PFAS can’t be regulated under Wisconsin's spill laws. Just sayin’. tinyurl.com/3r2w74pz

@DarrigoMelanie “10 documented cases of undocumented immigrants…” What exists to keep non-citizens from voting improperly? Until we understand the safeguards, aren’t we just guessing? Do the number of OUI/DUIs match the reality?

Melanie D'Arrigo@DarrigoMelanie·
There have been 10 cases of undocumented immigrants successfully casting ballots over the last 25 years. The SAVE America Act would deny Americans their right to vote by requiring forms of ID most Americans don’t have: 146M Americans do not have a passport. 40M eligible voters do not have access to their birth certificate. 69M women do not have a birth certificate that matches their married name. Enhanced Real IDs are only available in 5 states. The SAVE America Act denies the right to vote for millions of Americans by requiring specific forms of ID that millions of U.S. citizens do not have, and requiring them to effectively pay a poll tax, which is illegal, in order to get those documents to vote. It also gives the federal government the ability to manipulate state voter rolls and purge voters, while adding increased burdens on local election officials. The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression bill. Republicans know that Trump has made them deeply unpopular, so they know they need to cheat to win.
Mike Lee@BasedMikeLee

The SAVE America Act is a *noncitizen* purge bill Not a “voter purge bill” Schumer’s wrong—yet again

@turek4iowa “Take back our state and country” Why would you only want your party represented? Can’t we drop the politics and look at our communities’ issues at the root causes and not the color of the voter registrations?

Yesterday we hit 5 counties in one day! From county conventions to a soup supper, I saw Democrats across the state fired up and ready to flip this seat. We have a once-in-a-generation chance to take back our state and our country, and Iowans are ready to take full advantage of this opportunity.

@SarahforWI @TomTiffanyWI What does the Act say? Details matter and we need to stop this single item/buzzword sort of politics. What “birth control access” do you really want codified?

Access to birth control isn’t guaranteed in Wisconsin. The Right to Contraception Act would fix that. @TomTiffanyWI, would you sign it as Governor?

@MarkPocan C’mon now. When has Congress or any President really cared about us? Even all your tweets are finger pointing and skewed bullet points. I’d love leaders who move the national discussion on issues, the real issues not the superficial news items that help fundraising and fear laws

Thank Donald Trump for the $1.00 increase PER GALLON for gas. That’s on top of healthcare, utility, grocery and other goods increases, thanks to Trump’s tariff taxes and GOP budget bill. He doesn’t care about you a damn bit.

Our families are footing the bill for Tom Tiffany’s agenda of higher costs. Last year, the average American lost over $1,700 to MAGA’s failed tariffs. Now that SCOTUS has struck down many of their cost-hiking tariffs, demand Tiffany get our money back: actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell…

@turek4iowa We calling insurance “healthcare”. It’s not. EMS, the forgotten part of healthcare and community safety is still treated as a “ride to the hospital”. Maybe candidates can make this a topic of discussion and improvement?

I knocked on nearly every door in my district, and one thing I’ve learned representing a very red district is that Iowans across the political spectrum know our health care system is broken, and they want solutions.

@FordJohnathan5 It’s “settled science” in other words? But no one can say why there’s so little fraud when a non-citizen gets the same ballot as a citizen.

🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Senator Mike Lee the possibility of voter fraud is well known. Here I will help. It's .002% out of roughly 1 billion votes. Save Act would disenfranchise 12% to 18% of US voters. This has been investigated and studied enormously. 🚨

@ABetterWis Any time grants are awarded, there must be a concern for fraud. We saw it with COVID funds, in Minnesota, and now here. Will we ever look at the root causes for why these grants don’t have oversight or will we just point fingers at the other party?

@DavidCCrowley It seems then that rather than anchoring on definite planks that you’re a candidate who would like to understand the issues and craft solutions that aren’t hot button, binary catchphrases. And that locally based solutions might be better than big Statewide things.

My daughters don't agree with me on bedtime. My constituents don't always agree with me either.  But parenting teaches you that's not always about agreement. It's about showing up anyway, even when it's hard and messy.  I'm not running to be governor of the people in my corner. I'm running for all of Wisconsin — the people who agree with me, the people who don't, and the people still figuring out who I am. As governor, I will always fight for you, for your family, and for our future.
