Now, more than ever, we must ensure libraries stay strong, accessible, and well-funded for future generations. Let’s honor our librarians not just with gratitude, but with action. The future of our libraries — and the Wisconsinites who rely on them — depends on us. The time to act is now.

Win reelection Tuesday night, show up in Kaukauna Wednesday to fight for our kids and our public schools!

Tonight, we celebrate a win for public education—and for every kid, parent, and educator in Wisconsin. I’m deeply honored to continue serving as your State Superintendent. 🧵

Brittany Kinser keeps claiming Jill Underly “lowered standards.” But here’s the truth: Wisconsin ranks 10th in the nation in cumulative NAEP scores—and 6th in the country in the latest U.S. News & World Report public education rankings. That’s not failure. That’s results.

Trump’s cuts to local food programs are already hurting Wisconsin—schools, childcare centers, food banks, and farmers. Brittany Kinser thinks “talking to Republicans” will fix it. That’s not a plan. It’s naïve. We need a fighter, not a bystander.

LETTER: Don't fall for this, voters. If Brittany Kinser has to use deceit to boost her chances of becoming the steward of statewide public education, she doesn't deserve the job.

I’m proposing a $60M investment in Career & Technical Education across Wisconsin. This means better equipment, stronger programs, and real opportunities for students to graduate ready for the workforce. It’s time to raise the bar—and invest in their future.

Brittany Kinser wants to tie Wisconsin’s education system to a federal test that may not even exist next month. It’s reckless, it’s out of touch, and it proves she’s more interested in political talking points than real education policy or a plan for the future.

Small libraries across Wisconsin are already bracing for the pain from Trump cuts to federal funding — and Brittany Kinser still won’t even acknowledge the damage being done. These cuts threaten the very resources rural communities rely on.

“When asked about a shutdown Kinser said that so long as Wisconsin continues to receive the federal education funding it currently receives, she is open to changes. But other than the money for student loans it appears that all other funding to Wisconsin…will be lost.”

Trump’s cuts to school meal programs are already hitting Wisconsin—and Brittany Kinser has said nothing. She held a press conference today, and not one reporter asked about the devastating impacts these cuts are already having on students and schools. wnanews.com/2025/03/25/t...

Trump is cutting up to $1 billion from Wisconsin schools—and lobbyist Brittany Kinser’s response? “We will figure it out.” That’s not a plan. That’s a shrug. Our kids, our teachers, and our schools deserve better than excuses while our schools are being dealt devastating cuts.

Lobbyist Brittany Kinser lobbied to drain public schools and give the money to private schools. Kinser also worked to remove teacher license requirements.

LETTER: “The choice is stark. The next Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction will be either a lifelong educator who worked at every level of education or a registered private voucher lobbyist who is funded by privateers.”

Jill Underly is fighting back as Trump and his allies try to dismantle public education. She’s leading with experience, defending $1B in federal support, and pushing for $4B in new funding—because every Wisconsin kid deserves a great public school.

Lobbyist Brittany Kinser thinks she can “talk” her way out of Trump gutting $1 billion from Wisconsin schools. Trump isn’t negotiating—he’s slashing special ed, school meals, and teacher training right now. Kinser refuses to stand up to him. Wisconsin needs a leader, not a lobbyist making excuses

These programs are working—and they’re worth fighting for. If we let this funding go away, we’re not going to be able to help kids. We’re talking about mental health supports, after-school tutoring, and reading intervention. This is about giving kids what they need to succeed.

COLUMN: “State Superintendent Jill Underly believes in Wisconsin’s tradition of strong public schools and will continue to support public education and improved funding for small towns and cities everywhere.”

LETTER: “Public money must have public accountability. I am voting for a superintendent who understands the value of public education, not someone interested in furthering the agenda of privatization. I will vote for Jill Underly for state superintendent on April 1.”

“Jill Underly…is backed by the Wisconsin teachers and the groups that advocate for them. We’re with the teachers. Underly has our endorsement.”

The Trump admin is gutting the Dept of Ed, and WI schools will pay the price. Staff processing critical funding are being laid off, putting up to $1B at risk for special ed, school meals & teacher training. This isn’t just politics—it’s an attack on our kids. I’m fighting back.

The Department of Education provides: ✅Academic services to first generation college students ✅Funding to schools with high rates of poverty ✅ Resources to students with special needs The attacks on the DOE are a direct attack on our children’s futures.

The Trump administration just cut a vital program that helped Wisconsin farmers and provided fresh food to our students—a win-win for our communities. This funding won’t be replaced, and WI schools will suffer. And lobbyist Brittany Kinser? She says “it’s fine.” www.huffpost.com/entry/usda-s...

LETTER: “Wisconsinites value our public schools as the hope for our children and the center of our communities. On April 1 I recommend you vote for Jill Underly to be reelected as the Wisconsin superintendent of public instruction to lead our schools.”

Make a plan to vote! 🗳️ You can still request your absentee ballot. Just visit myvote.wi.gov, make your request, and get ready to cast your vote in this important election.

Lobbyist Brittany Kinser said, “It’s fine” when asked whether she thinks the Department of Education should be eliminated. We can’t let her destroy Wisconsin’s public schools. Vote Jill Underly for State Superintendent.

This achievement reflects the hard work and commitment of Wisconsin’s students and teachers. It’s the result of countless hours, determination, and the strength of our community. This success shows what we can achieve when we work together.

Wisconsin’s public schools are already underfunded—and now they’re facing an even bigger threat. A $1 BILLION cut to federal education funding from the Trump Administration would take money away from special education, school meals, teacher training, and mental health support.

Wisconsin voters have spoken: They want more funding for public schools, not handouts to private schools. But lobbyist Brittany Kinser has spent years working to divert public school money into private schools—even when it raises your property taxes.

Who does Lobbyist Brittany Kinser really work for? ❌ Not Wisconsin families. ❌ Not teachers. ❌ Not your kids. She’s spent years lobbying to defund public schools—now she supports a $1 billion cut to YOUR schools. We can’t let this happen.

The strength of our schools depends on the dedication and expertise of our educators. We cannot afford to lose our best and brightest. To address the root causes driving teacher turnover, our state legislature must pass the governor’s proposed biennial budget.

We continue to face an urgent crisis in Wisconsin’s education system. We’re losing our best and our brightest educators in an alarming rate in the state. It’s a crisis for our students, our families, our schools and our communities, and we must do something now.

This delay is a betrayal of our students and a failure of leadership. Legislative leaders have let down both our children and our schools. I don’t want to hear another elected official complaining about literacy outcomes, they have no one to blame but themselves. www.wpr.org/news/politic...

The Trump administration’s reckless decisions have created chaos for families across Wisconsin. By freezing funds for half of the state’s Head Start programs, they’ve thrown thousands of children’s lives into uncertainty—jeopardizing access to early education, meals, and essential support services.

Governor Evers’ $300M investment in children’s mental health is exactly the kind of leadership Wisconsin needs. This proposal addresses a critical issue facing our students and schools by increasing access to care and expanding services statewide.

Wisconsin’s students are waiting for us to prioritize their futures. Gov Evers’ call for Legislative Republicans to release the Act 20 funds for reading programs is essential. These resources will empower schools to provide the tools and support our kids need to develop strong literacy skills.

🚨 Wisconsin just hit its highest graduation rate ever! 🚨 This progress didn’t happen overnight—it’s thanks to investments my administration has made in combating absenteeism, supporting mental health, & ensuring schools have what they need to help students succeed. www.wbay.com/2025/01/18/w...

Every child deserves access to nutritious meals, period. I’m proud to have proposed universal free school meals in my budget request & grateful to @RepFrancescaHong for leading the charge on this critical issue. Let’s put Wisconsin’s kids first.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of @aftunion.bsky.social Wisconsin! Their support reflects our shared commitment to fighting for strong public education at every level across Wisconsin.

Schools have done their part. It’s the legislature that is not doing its part. That money was already promised and approved, and yet the Joint Finance Committee is putting politics ahead of our kids’ future.

Act 10 is unconstitutional. It’s time to restore collective bargaining and fairness for Wisconsin’s educators and schools. Our Supreme Court must stand on the side of justice for public workers.

🚨ENDORSEMENT NEWS🚨 I am so grateful for Congresswoman Gwen Moore’s endorsement! Congresswoman Moore has been a true champion for our students and I look forward to continuing working with her as we empower every student to reach their full potential.

Thrilled to share that Wisconsin State Assembly Democratic Leader Greta Neubauer has endorsed my re-election campaign! Greta’s commitment to strong, equitable public education inspires me, and I’m grateful for her support as we continue the fight to ensure every Wisconsin community thrives.

I’m so honored to have Senator Bob Wirch’s endorsement! His support reinforces our shared belief that public schools should be a safe, welcoming place for every child to learn and grow.

Thank you to Senator Melissa Ratcliff for supporting my re-election campaign! I’m honored to have her partnership as we fight for equitable, high-quality education for every child in Wisconsin.

Public education is a cornerstone of our communities, and I’m proud to have Senator Chris Larson’s endorsement as we continue to fight for Wisconsin’s schools, students, and educators. Let’s keep moving forward!

Grateful to have Representative Steve Doyle standing with me in the fight for public education. This endorsement means so much as we work together to ensure every child has the tools to succeed in school and beyond.

Proud to announce Representative Ryan Spaude has joined our growing coalition to protect and strengthen public education in Wisconsin! I’m so thankful for his support and shared commitment to putting students first.

As students and teachers head into winter break, our campaign is entering its final stretch for collecting nomination signatures—and we need your help to wrap things up before the holidays!
