Representative Priscilla A. Prado

Remembering the brave men and women who serviced our country today. Thank you all for what you have sacrificed, and have a happy and safe Memorial Day !

When Assembly Democrats were last in the majority, we gave nearly 40% of Republican-authored bills a hearing. Under Republican leadership, only 3.2% of Democrat-authored bills were heard. Partisanship should not get in the way of good policy.

Last week, @GovEvers & I visited the Mitchell Park Domes in district 9 to highlight National Tourism Week. For WI, the Domes play an important role in tourism & community engagement, attracting more than 250,000 visitors annually. Thank you to the Domes for hosting us.

Happy Small Business Week! Small businesses fuel our economy, create jobs, and foster meaningful connections within our communities. This week, I encourage you to support a small business in your neighborhood and shop local.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day! Thank you to all of our educators who inspire the new generation to be confident, think outside the box, and become leaders in their own communities. Swipe to see some teachers from District 9! #TeacherAppreciationDay

From potholes & patches to sidewalk repairs, the Department of Public Works welcomes calls to report situations in their neighborhood or on their traffic routes. Call (414) 286-2489 or visit city.milwaukee.gov/dpwservices/St… for assistance.

Today is Denim Day, a reminder that what you wear is never consent. I’m wearing denim to stand in solidarity with survivors of sexual assault because your clothes are not an invitation! 👖💙 #DenimDay

63% of Wisconsinites support legalizing marijuana. Legislative Republicans have chosen to ignore this fact.  Meanwhile, WI is leaving tens of millions in tax revenue on the table every year while neighboring states collect it. We must for forward & make a change! #LegalizeIt

Happy Tax Day! If you haven't already filed your taxes, you can still file for an extension for up to 6 months! Visit revenue.wi.gov for more information on filing, tax credits, and more.

This week, Salah Sarsour, President of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, was taken by ICE. He is a lawful permanent resident who has lived in Milwaukee for 30+ years. His arrest is unconstitutional. I stand in solidarity with Mr. Sarsour, his family, & the Muslim community.

Eid Mubarak! 🌙✨ Today, marks the end of Ramadan—a time of reflection, generosity, and community. I’m proud to have co-authored the first-ever resolution to recognize Eid and its religious importance in the state of Wisconsin. Peace, joy, and blessings to all who celebrate.

My statement on Dolores Huerta’s recent remarks surrounding the nature of her relationship with Cesar Chavez.  To Dolores, gracias por tu fuerza, por tu lucha, y por tu voz.

This week, I introduced legislation alongside @SenatorDrake to help alleviate medical debt in WI. Medical debt shouldn't follow families for years after recovery. WI has the opportunity to eliminate hundreds of millions of dollars of debt for a fraction of its face value.

Recap on all of the schools who visited me at the Capitol this session! If your class would like a tour of the Capitol, schedule reservations at tours.wisconsin.gov/pub/reservatio…. Feel welcomed to reach out to my office at Rep.Prado@legis.wisconsin.gov if your class is at the Capitol!

March is Women's History Month, & much of the progress we benefit from today came from women who spoke up, organized, & never gave in. Many of our contributions have gone unnoticed, our stories untold, & our ideas stolen. History didn’t just happen. Women made it.

Thank you to everyone who attended my town hall last week with Sen. Carpenter. It is so valuable to us to hear your concerns firsthand. I am grateful for the opportunity to share some of the solutions we are pursuing to reduce costs for Wisconsinites and restrict ICE activities.

Wisconsin Assembly Passes Life-Saving Women’s Healthcare Legislation • • • Asamblea de Wisconsin Aprueba Legislación Vital para la Salud de las Mujeres

I am a proud signatory of this letter to the Speaker Robin Vos which urges him to bring AB 263, Gail’s Law, to the floor for vote.  Gail’s Law ensures women have access to breast cancer screenings without the fear of financial strain. Early cancer detection saves lives!

Tomorrow, Governor Evers will deliver his final State of the State Address. I look forward to hearing his perspective on this session & what work remains for WI. Tune in tomorrow 2/17 at 7:00 PM for the State of the State Address live on Wisconsin Eye! wiseye.org/live

This week, the Legislature celebrated Wisconsin's native nations during the 22nd annual State of the Tribes Address. Thank you Chairwoman Nicole Boyd for your a powerful speech highlighting our shared responsibility to protect WI's resources and strengthen our communities.
