Across America, people are moving from high‑tax states to those with lower tax burdens. If Wisconsin wants to attract and retain families, we need to roll out the red carpet — not layer on more red tape. Tune in to @ManleyWMC with @VickiMcKenna: youtube.com/watch?v=whaTp1…

We’re kicking things off at our Women in Business Forum with @RobynGruner leading a panel featuring @chonesaguam (@Bucks), Alison Prange (Michael Best Strategies), Ann Thornton (Brady Corporation), @MartiWronski (@Brewers).

"As we bring this tour to Wisconsin, our message is clear: Manufacturing made America strong. Wisconsin helped build that strength. And with the right policies, our state can lead the next chapter." Read @JayTimmonsNAM and @WisconsinMC's @Kurt_R_Bauer in @DailyNewsWashi1 on the #StateofMFG. gmtoday.com/daily_news/com…

“Wisconsin has remained below replacement-level fertility since 1974, which means our state desperately needs more people. In response, we should...use our tax rates as a way to lure people in, not to chase them away.” wmc.org/op-eds/wiscons…

Thank you, @RepTiffany, for honoring Jack Link and celebrating his induction into the Wisconsin Manufacturing Hall of Fame! @JackLinks youtube.com/watch?v=AAnI2w…

“Uncertainty is one of the greatest threats to business, creating additional obstacles that hinder productivity and efficiency. Today’s decision adds to an already confusing tariff landscape. Businesses will be left to wonder how this decision will impact their customers and vendors. Sadly there are more questions than answers at this point.” - @Kurt_R_Bauer

CONGRATULATIONS to the 37th Annual Manufacturer of the Year Award Recipients! What an incredible honor to celebrate these teams, whose excellence propels our state's top industry forward. wmc.org/press-releases…

Speaker Vos has been a true champion of free enterprise and a strong ally in the fight to make Wisconsin the most competitive state in the nation to do business. WMC thanks @repvos and wishes him all the best in the future. wmc.org/press-releases…

Manufacturing is Wisconsin's past, present, and future. Tonight, eight finalists will take home Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year awards. We're excited to celebrate the best of our state's manufacturers with @BakerTillyUS and @MichaelBestLaw!

We're thrilled to announce Jack Link as the newest inductee of the Wisconsin Manufacturing Hall of Fame. Congratulations, Jack, on this well‑deserved recognition - and thank you for your enduring impact on Wisconsin manufacturing, community, and culture. @1stBusinessBank @JackLinks wmc.org/press-releases…

Since 2000, for every eight students lost, public schools added one non‑instructional staff member. More adults than ever, yet fewer kids reading and doing math at grade level. That’s not a ‘year of the kid’ - that’s decades of growing a bloated bureaucracy.

A declining population, a stagnant workforce, an unworkable regulatory environment, poor educational outcomes, unaffordable health care, and a hefty tax burden on middle-class families and businesses are all issues that threaten our state’s future. wmc.org/press-releases…

My state of the state: Wisconsin is falling behind in key economic metrics that matter to attract investment and talent. bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news…

"Wisconsinites are competitive. Whether it’s our sports teams or economic rankings, we don’t settle for mediocrity. We expect to be national leaders. But sadly, as it relates to critical economic indicators, Wisconsin is falling behind." bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news…

According to @wmc_foundation's Wisconsin Competitiveness Report, our state’s educational system is failing, despite increased funding for fewer students. Bloated bureaucracy isn't serving taxpayers or students well. Read the full report: wmcfoundation.org/wp-content/upl…

Regulatory hurdles are holding Wisconsin back, but there are practical steps that can be taken to create a more competitive business climate. Tune in: youtube.com/watch?v=Cl9Eo1…

Our team was proud to bring Wisconsin to DC this week, sitting down with elected officials and leaders to champion pro-growth policies and key issues for the business community.

“Wisconsinites are competitive. We expect to be leaders, not only in our sports teams, but on economic measures, and while we typically have been, we’re falling behind. And this is kind of a warning that we need to work together, the business community, public policymakers, to make sure that we’re competitive.” - @Kurt_R_Bauer. wisn.com/article/upfron…
