Throughout this pandemic, our CARES funds have been critical to our state’s #COVID19 response. I’m glad to hear Congress is nearing a deal on a much-needed stimulus package, but that deal must include real, meaningful state and local aid so we can keep fighting this virus.
Today, I humbly and honorably served as Secretary for the Electoral College. With that, many thoughts are swirling as the institution has been less than democratic, and some disastrous outcomes have been the result.
Vice President-elect Harris can take great strides to improve health and pregnancy outcomes for women of color across our country, which is especially important here in Wisconsin, where we know that Black women and babies face worse outcomes. https://t.co/4VJTB55bAU
This is great news for Milwaukee and for Wisconsin. Molson Coors has been part of Wisconsin’s history for nearly 165 years. With this agreement, we can look forward to keeping another iconic Wisconsin business in our state for many years to come.
The sooner we get this virus under control, the sooner we can all get back to our favorite spots safely. You can help our small businesses by shopping small and local, ordering dinner for pick up, and staying home and wearing your mask to #StopTheSpread.

Cpt. Raether served her community every day with astounding courage and selflessness, putting her health and safety on the line, even during a global pandemic. This is a devastating loss and we send our deepest condolences to her family and community.

Happy Birthday to my friend and the 45th lieutenant governor of the state of Wisconsin, @LGMandelaBarnes! From our first days in office to Pothole Patrol, we sure have had some good times working together for the people of this state.
Today I carried out my duty to certify the November 3rd election, and as required by state and federal law, I’ve signed the Certificate of Ascertainment for the slate of electors for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
Our small businesses need our support now more than ever, and we’re getting these funds where they are needed most. You can help, too, by shopping safely and shopping local this holiday season.

As we tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on Wisconsinites across our state, I am grateful for the good people that live here that work together to connect the dots and take care of our communities and neighbors.

There are values that are core to who we are as Midwesterners, no matter which teams we root for or side of the Great Lakes we live on. Today, I joined other Midwest governors in calling on our region to double down and stay safe this holiday season.

Folks, it’s not safe to go out. It’s not safe to have others over—it’s just not safe. And it might not be for a while yet. Limit your interactions to those you live with and stay home as much as you are able. Let’s #StayHomeSaveLives, together.

This spring, we took steps to contain COVID-19 by issuing a safer at home order. We estimated then that our efforts would save 300-1,400 lives. Unfortunately, that order was struck down by the State Supreme Court—a decision that hamstrung our ability to respond to this virus.
Today’s decision comes as we reported more than 6,000 new COVID-19 cases—the most ever in a single day. This is another blow to our state's response to this pandemic and our efforts to keep Wisconsinites safe.
We’ve got to get back to the basics of fighting this virus—I know everyone is tired of all the court decision whiplash, so here’s the bottom line: stay home, don’t host or go to gatherings with people outside of your home, and take every precaution to stay healthy and safe.
