I'm Missy Hughes, and I'm running for Governor of Wisconsin! I’ve spent my career helping grow our economy: helping farmers stay on their land, creating thousands of good-paying jobs, and supporting over 9,500 small businesses across every county in our state.

Donald Trump claims our economy is booming. I disagree because this is not what a booming economy looks like!

Today is the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, protecting women’s right to control their own body. Three years ago the extreme Supreme Court took that right away. As your Governor, I’ll fight everyday ensure every woman has the power to make their own healthcare decisions.

Wisconsin depends on farmers - I loved taking the time to meet with local dairy farmers, horse farmers, cheesemongers, and more today in Oregon. We talked about local issues from public education to preserving family farms and what I’ll do as Governor to support agriculture. 🧀

WI families are seeing their premiums skyrocket because of the failed leadership of Tom Tiffany. Families are forced to choose between paying for healthcare or putting food on the table. As Governor I'll expand BadgerCare so every Wisconsinite gets the care they need.

An A++ economy wouldn’t have us struggling to make ends meet. Increased costs for farmers means increased costs for you at the grocery store. Wisconsin needs a governor who knows how to build a strong economy and that’s me!

Trump’s tariffs made it impossible for Wisconsin farmers to sell their crops, now he’s offering them scraps instead of getting rid of the tariffs. That doesn’t add up, our farmers deserve better and when I’m governor they’ll get it!

Are you ready for a different kind of candidate? As a former dairy executive, I helped grow Organic Valley to $1B in sales. Under my leadership, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation helped 9,500 small businesses in all 72 counties. Now I’m ready to be your next Governor!

Shop Small Saturday holds a special place in my heart! Having led our state’s leading economic development team, I know that every dollar spent locally circulates again and again (7x at least!) within our community; make it a point to support local by shopping small.

One of the questions today was what action steps we can take to address the root causes of homelessness. There are real solutions already happening around the state. We need to look at what’s working and build on those successes.
