The commutation scheme by @GovEvers is a disaster. He’s left the door open for killers to walk the streets again with no transparency or accountability. It’s re-traumatizing victims and jeopardizing communities. This is unacceptable.

It’s Masters weekend!

Here’s your friendly reminder that Democrats raised Wisconsinites property taxes for the next 400 years.

Governor Evers' executive order opens the door to early release for violent criminals.

Read my full statement below:

[Rep. Mark Born @repborn]

Governor Evers hastily vetoes legislation that would prevent violent criminal illegal aliens from staying in Wisconsin. Yet, on the same exact day, enacts an executive order to release CONVICTED violent criminals from jail.

Make this make sense.

[Rep. Mark Born @repborn]

Governor Evers is leaving the door wide open to release violent offenders convicted for murder, domestic abuse, theft and a slew of other heinous crimes into our communities.

This isn't criminal justice reform, it's flat out negligence to public safety

Wisconsinites are seeking much needed tax relief as they combat rising gas, grocery and energy prices.

Governor Evers response? Just deal with it.

[Governor Tony Evers @GovEvers]

My 400-year veto is here to stay—lawmakers either need to fund our public schools or get over it.

Gov. Tony Evers signed two executive orders Friday to restore Wisconsin’s process for commuting prison sentences, the first governor to do so in roughly three decades:

[Rep. Mark Born @repborn]

I wish I could say this is one of those fun April Fools posts, but unfortunately to Wisconsinites it is no joke that their property taxes will be increasing every year due to Tony Evers and the Democrats 400-year tax increase.

[Rep. Mark Born @repborn]

Governor Evers is “not very excited about what is coming out of the Legislature"

I suppose legislation like prohibiting gender transition treatment for children, banning the Chinese Government from owning farmland in WI, and teachers bill of rights isn't exciting enough for him.

[Rep. Mark Born @repborn]

Is this you?

If Republicans failed to invest in kids and schools, then why did you say the Republican state budget that you signed was a win for Wisconsin's kids just 7 months ago?

[Governor Tony Evers @GovEvers]

Republicans have failed to meaningfully invest in our kids and schools, so Wisconsinites have been going to referenda in big numbers for years just to raise their own property taxes to fund our schools.

We can invest in our kids and cut property taxes. Let's get it done.

With data centers rapidly expanding nationwide, AB840 ensures Wisconsin welcomes this growth responsibly — protecting ratepayers, conserving water, and safeguarding communities through clear standards & accountability.

[Rep. Mark Born @repborn]

Great news from the Assembly floor today!

We passed AB 38 — No Tax on Tips, giving hard-working, tip-earning Wisconsinites real tax relief and aligning our state tax code with new federal law.

This is a win for workers, a win for families, and a win for common sense.

[Rep. Mark Born @repborn]

Wisconsin taxpayers shouldn’t fund salaries for judges suspended over criminal misconduct—plus the cost of a reserve judge.

Proud to support AB 380 today to suspend pay for judges suspended for misconduct.

[Rep. Mark Born @repborn]

As we head into 2026 the priorities couldn't be more different.

The Democrats: 400-year veto, raise property taxes & push policies that make Wisconsinites lives unaffordable.

My Priorities: Reduced costs, additional tax cuts, & more affordable utility bills & housing expenses.

[Rep. Mark Born @repborn]

In the most recent state budget we allocated half a billion dollars for special education in Wisconsin - the highest increase in state history.

On Friday, I joined the @DailyDodgeBD Community Comment with Terry Bell to discuss.

[Rep. Mark Born @repborn]

Here are the facts of the 400-year veto:

- The State Legislature approved a 2 year increase in what school districts can collect.
- Tony Evers used his partial veto to extend that spending to 2425.
- For the next 400 years taxes will increase by $325/student/year

As Wisconsinites prepare for Christmas, an un-wanted gift from Governor Evers is arriving. Year one of the 400-year democrat property tax increase.

With 399 more years of tax increases on the horizon, this is only the beginning of the hurt for families across the state.

AG Josh Kaul keeps making excuses, but the numbers don’t lie. The crime lab handled fewer cases in 2024 than 2023, yet DNA and toxicology turnaround times got worse.

After 7 years, Wisconsinites deserve results, not delays. Kaul’s ‘top priority’ has become his biggest failure.

[Rep. Mark Born @repborn]

This report shows how DPI, once again, failed to meet critical goals. Only about a third of students reached expected reading or math levels.

DPI continues to leave students fending for themselves. Unacceptable.

One class per semester. Just one. And apparently that’s asking way too much of UW professors. Must be exhausting.

Teachers in the University of Wisconsin System are very offended that they are now being required to...teach.

[Rep. Mark Born @repborn]

Comparing Jill with a lame duck Governor is not a great look.

DPI has failed to report over 200 sexual misconduct/ grooming cases. If her department is unwilling to disclose this information publicly, then she owes it to Wisconsin families to actually show up and answer why.

Back and forth in Wisconsin Joint Audit Committee on why Supt. Jill Underly isn't in attendance for financial audit hearing. "She’s an elected official. You don’t get the governor at every hearing, do you?" - Tom McCarthy, DPI Deputy State Supt.
