From barbers to farmers and artists to mechanics, the Affordable Care Act has been a lifeline for folks who are self-employed and own their own businesses. But now, Republicans have put that healthcare out of reach for many. Republicans need to make this right.

REMINDER: Republicans sent Congress home for the holidays without addressing the health care crisis they’ve inflicted on this country.

Let's make 2026 the best year yet, Wisconsin.

Since I took office, we’ve been committed to working across the aisle, being diligent with taxpayer dollars, and paying off our state’s debts. Now, we are celebrating six consecutive years of Wisconsin’s bank account being securely in the positive. www.wsaw.com/2025/12/19/g...

ICYMI: I visited all 72 counties in 2025 for my sixth time as governor. As we kick off 2026, where should I go first?

From a bipartisan, pro-kid budget to holding the Trump Administration accountable, I'm proud of all we were able to accomplish in 2025 and look forward to all we're going to get done in 2026, together. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIG...

Happy New Year, Wisconsin! May 2026 bring peace, hope, and boundless opportunities to you and yours. 🎆

Kick off the new year right by getting outside at one of our Wisconsin State Parks for a first day hike! 🥾 #OutWiGo wausaupilotandreview.com/2025/12/25/n...

2025 was a big year in Wisconsin! It was a budget year, the Year of the Kid, and the Brewers had a record-breaking season! Here are just a few of the things I'm proud we got done for Wisconsin in 2025 ⬇️

Healthcare costs are going to skyrocket in 2026, and it's going to be devastating for our small businesses whose owners and employees make up about half of those enrolled in healthcare coverage through the Affordable Care Act. Republicans must fix this. www.wpr.org/health/aca-c...

BREAKING: We just secured $203 million for Wisconsin through the Rural Health Transformation Program. By securing these new investments, my administration can build upon our work to help get Wisconsinites in our rural communities the care they need and closer to home.

Wow! What a year, folks. Check out some of my favorite memories from 2025. ⬇️

Affordable housing is an issue I hear about almost everywhere I go. Together, we've built over 30,000 housing units since 2019, and we're not slowing down in 2026.

Every year, I visit all 72 counties at least once because I want to meet Wisconsinites where they’re at—homes, schools, farms, businesses, hospitals, and everywhere in between. And every day, I learn something new. I can’t wait to do it again in 2026.

In just a few short days, small business owners, farmers, seniors, families, and folks across our state are going to be facing sticker shock as their healthcare premiums double, triple, or even, quadruple. Wisconsinites cannot afford Congress's inaction. upnorthnewswi.com/2025/12/22/o...

From retail and art to restaurants and coffee shops, small businesses are powerful drivers of Wisconsin's economy. I’m glad I’ve been able to visit some during our #ShopSmallWisconsin Season.

Thanks to President Trump's Tariff Taxes, families are struggling to make ends meet and put food on the table.

Republicans need to get serious about what they are doing to lower costs for working families.

Instead of doing anything about lowering skyrocketing costs, Republicans are busy trying to make it harder for parents to get their kids the medical care they need.  That's a problem. www.jsonline.com/story/news/h...

I declared 2025 the Year of the Kid in Wisconsin because I've always believed what's best for our kids is what's best for our state. We must keep working to do what's best for our kids at every age and every stage.

Republicans’ final gift to Americans before the holidays was locking in higher health care costs for millions.

And the wind took me to support our local small businesses! #ShopSmallWisconsin

After the Trump Administration put it at risk, we fought hard to restore this critical funding for the AmeriCorps program, and we're glad to see these funds going out the door to support service projects in communities across our state. www.wbay.com/2025/12/16/w...

🚨🚨 “2025 is on pace to post the worst job growth since the pandemic wiped out a record number of jobs in 2020” Trump’s reckless policies are killing jobs, increasing inflation, and driving wage growth down. www.cnn.com/2025/12/16/e...

NEWS: We were glad to award $2 million in grants from the WHEDA Foundation to 59 organizations to improve emergency shelters, transitional residences, and extremely low-income housing for those in need. 🏠 Learn more ⬇️ content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIG...

Happy Kwanzaa, Wisconsin! To all those celebrating across our state, Kathy and I are wishing you celebrations full of joy and community.

Kathy and I are wishing everyone a very merry Christmas! We hope you are warm, safe, and celebrating with those you love most.

From our annual Tribute to our Troops Tree to handmade ornaments from Hmong elders to our very own Ice Age Trail, this year's decorations at the Executive Residence celebrate all that makes Wisconsin the special place it is to call home.

Help and hope are always available, even when they seem hard to find. If you or a loved one is struggling this holiday season, call the free 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline to get connected to a trained counselor who can help, day or night. Take care, Wisconsin.

In the Year of the Kid, the Learning Tree is all about celebrating the hard-working folks like Mr. Peanuts, who go above and beyond every day to help our kids be their best selves. www.dailycardinal.com/article/2025...

Our farmers have to deal with enough—the last thing they need is more chaos and uncertainty. The Trump Administration must get serious about long-term, sustainable solutions to help our farmers and their businesses succeed. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/12/17/w...

REMINDER: Nearly every single Republican voted to gut healthcare and rip away the Affordable Care Act tax credits for millions.

We secured the largest investment in workforce housing in our state's history with a $525 million investment. And, today, I announced 521 new affordable units will be built across the state, so we can continue our efforts to expand housing and support our families and workforce.

Kathy and I are grateful for the many volunteers that come together to make the Executive Residence festive for visitors each year around the holidays. Join us for our annual virtual holiday tour of the Executive Residence to see all their good work. ⬇️ youtu.be/z7-u48aUjio

Our small businesses make up about 99 percent of our businesses in Wisconsin and employ about half of our workers. Losing the Affordable Care Act tax credits will be a major blow to them, their families, and their workers.

Kathy and I had a great time visiting and touring the Above & Beyond Children's Museum in Sheboygan to learn about the exciting projects they have on the horizon and the outstanding work they are doing to provide a third space for kids and families to learn, grow, and explore.

Wisconsin’s roads connect more than our communities—they connect our stories and our history. Restoring the Indigenous names, history, and languages to our public spaces is about making sure those stories and histories are complete. madison365.com/new-ho-chunk...

I promised to fix the darn roads, and that's exactly what we've done. Looking forward to more miles and more roads in 2026!

For over 275,000 Wisconsinites, their healthcare costs are going to go through the roof in 2026. Some families will see costs go up $17,000, $23,000, or even $30,000 a year. All because Republicans refuse to extend the ACA tax credits that make healthcare more affordable.

In this administration, every year is the year of the kid.

Decorating for the holidays at the Executive Residence is about more than making the place look festive, it's about celebrating all the communities and Wisconsinites who come through the doors. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

The truth is: Republicans never had a plan to lower health care costs for Americans. Now, millions of families are set to see their premiums go through the roof come January.

Kathy and I got back to our old stomping grounds in Sheboygan to do some holiday shopping! We picked up a couple of new books at WordHaven, made our own chapstick at Olivu 426, and learned about winter surfing at EOS Surf Shop. #ShopSmallWisconsin

I'm urging President Trump to abandon efforts to preempt, punish, and undermine states like Wisconsin that have worked to pass common-sense, bipartisan policies to address AI's harmful consequences and keep kids and families safe. Read my letter ⬇️ lnks.gd/2/35W3xMM

We fought hard to restore federal funding for the AmeriCorps program and now, we're glad to see these funds go out the door to support local service projects from helping tutor kids and conservation efforts to public health efforts and combating homelessness.

Kathy and I were glad to visit our old alma mater, Plymouth High School, to drop off blankets for their 2nd Annual Peers for Peers Blanket Drive. This student-led project is a partnership with St. Vinny's and the local food pantry to bring warmth and kindness to those in need.

Come January 1st, Wisconsinites' healthcare premiums are going to skyrocket because Republicans refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. Costs will go up for some folks as much as $30,000 a year. That cannot happen. www.wpr.org/news/as-us-s...

After running a deficit for 30 years, I'm proud of our work to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars, and now, our state's checking account has a positive $3.9 billion balance, and our rainy day fund also has a record-high balance of $2 billion.

I had a great time shopping small up in Siren at the Chattering Squirrel and Maamigin. For every dollar you spend at a small business, about two-thirds stays in the local community, so get out and #ShopSmallWisconsin.

As tariffs and reckless trade wars make business harder for our state’s agricultural producers, we’re getting investments out the door to ensure our dedicated dairy producers have the support and resources they need to compete and be successful. fox11online.com/news/local/s...

I was honored to join the Wisconsin State Capitol Police to recognize those officers who have gone above and beyond this year and to personally thank all of our officers for the incredible, real-life impact of their heroic and steadfast service.
