Let's be clear: Congressional Republicans' refusal to negotiate an end to the government shutdown has devasting effects on our lives. If you, or someone you know, relies on Foodshare/SNAP, contact 211 Wisconsin for assistance. 211wisconsin.communityos.org

In the face of attacks on reproductive freedom, @senkeldaroys.bsky.social and Representative Lisa Subeck discussed Democratic efforts to remove “politically motivated restrictions” that endanger lives and curtail access to reproductive health care in Wisconsin. www.wmtv15news.com/2025/10/01/w...

Legislative Democrats lost a remarkable colleague to suicide last year. During Suicide Prevention Month, let’s focus on understanding the complexity of suicide, supporting people experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors and changing the conversation around suicide.

Wisconsin Democrats are committed to preventing gun violence. As the academic year begins, we can protect UW students. As @senkeldaroys.bsky.social says, “Our goal is to ensure that college campuses have the same gun-free protections as K12 schools.” wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/08/27/d...

Thank you to the dozens of union members who joined legislative Democrats to introduce four Bills that will strengthen Wisconsin’s economy by ensuring good paying jobs, improved workplace safety, and fair wages that help families with rising costs.

All 60 Democrats in the legislature are behind our bill to save the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship fund which protects natural areas, ensures access to public land, and improves our State Parks. It will take bi-partisan cooperation to get it done. Our door is open!

This is a heartbreaking story about another horrific mass shooting. We must never become numb. Gun laws work. They reduce gun violence. Wisconsin Democrats will keep on proposing laws that will save lives and keep our children, our families, and our communities safe. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Wisconsin’s State Parks are treasures we all share. Thanks to the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund, trails are maintained, facilities are improved, and outdoor spaces stay open and welcoming for everyone.

Whether it’s casting a line or enjoying a day hunting, Wisconsinites depend on public lands for outdoor traditions. For over 35 years, the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund has helped build the trails, roads, and boat launches that make it possible.

Republican Senator Howard Marklein says “farmers aren’t concerned” about Trumps policies. Really? An actual farmer said with Trump’s tariffs, his costs are going up. Canadian fertilizer is more expensive. The John Deere tractor he uses will soon be unaffordable. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/08/08/d...

Fewer Wisconsin children are vaccinated against measles than they were in 2013, and children in our state now have the second-worst vaccination rate for the disease in the United States. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/08/05/w...

The cruel and ugly bill that Congressional Republicans passed the Trump signed, will have disastrous consequences for years to come. www.americanprogress.org/article/10-e...

Democrats are clear about what is at stake in this budget. Let’s get serious about getting it done by June 30. Critical funding is on the line.

Folks, Sarah is right. Our state has faced workforce shortages for years, and we can't afford more folks leaving their jobs because they can't access child care. We must invest in child care in this budget to lower costs for families and keep our workforce and economy strong.

In the three years since the devasting Dobbs Decision, we’ve seen its deadly consequences. The Trump Administration is chipping away to access nationwide. That’s why we introduced the Abortion Rights Restoration Act to protect access to reproductive care. www.msnbc.com/know-your-va...

Republican dysfunction is having terrible consequences for Wisconsin: leaving child care providers facing closures and uncertainty, threatening massive cuts to the UW System, shortchanging our public schools. www.wkow.com/news/top-sto...

Memorial Day is an opportunity to honor and thank the courageous members of the U.S. military who sacrificed everything to keep our country safe. We salute you, we thank you for your sacrifice, and today, we honor your memory.

@senkeldaroys.bsky.social on Child Care: “We’ve heard Senator Ron Johnson say it is not society’s responsibility to take care of other people’s children. I can’t imagine a more selfish, stupid, and shortsighted approach….We want our kids to be the first investment the state makes, not the last.”

Your not-so-friendly reminder that WI Republicans took nearly $500 million in childcare funding out of the budget on Thursday. Without it, about 1/4 of providers could close their doors and over 3/4 will be forced to raise prices for families who are already struggling with high costs.

Democrats will continue to work for Wisconsin families and push for child care to come back as a top priority as the budget moves forward. We know that early childhood education and quality child care is essential for the success of our kids. Child care matters!

This morning, I stood with parents, caregivers, kids, and community members in Waunakee as we marked the #DayWithoutChildCare. Every family deserves quality, affordable child care, and I’m proud to support our state’s dedicated providers. I thank you all for your hard work!

President Trump and Elon Musk plan to yank over $210 million in funding from Wisconsin that will hurt our work to keep our kids, families, and communities healthy and safe, including funding for suicide and overdose prevention, support for local EMS, and more. My statement ⬇️

Yesterday, Wisconsin Senate Democrats came together to speak out against the chaos and confusion coming from the federal government. We call on our Republican colleagues to join us in standing up for our constituents here in Wisconsin.

Have you heard? @govevers.wisconsin.gov introduced 10+ new policies to reduce Rx drug prices, set price ceilings for medications, prevent price gouging, and more! To find out how we’re planning to expand access to healthcare for Wisconsinites, click here: content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIG...
