Wisconsin is known as “American’s Dairyland” for a reason! Our farmers and agriculture industry are the backbone of our state.

We know how important it is to support our farmers and that’s why last session we unveiled our “Farmers and Agriculture Keep Wisconsin Growing” package. Our bills would help farmers grow their businesses, reach new markets, drive the state’s economy, and feed folks across WI.

Local governments directly support our communities and they deserve the resources and tools that empower them to thrive. For too long, they have been asked to do more with less.

Wisconsin Democrats are striving to strengthen communities by proposing legislation that ensures local governments have the resources they need, tools to build affordable housing, and the ability to do what’s best for their community.

With more than 300,000 veterans living in Wisconsin, it’s crucial that we support the men and women who have served our country.

Last session, Legislative Democrats introduced bills that would bring home veterans who are still Missing-in-Action, expand community-based mental health services for vets, and honor their service by making Veterans Day an official State Holiday.

Our veterans have given so much, and they deserve our support in return.

Legislative Democrats know that every household deserves access to safe, clean drinking water. We proudly introduced legislation to address PFAS contamination, fund lead lateral replacement projects, and establish a well-testing grant program.

No one should worry about the water coming out of their tap and we’re working to ensure no one has to.

The Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program has protected Wisconsin’s natural spaces for decades. Unfortunately, Legislative Republicans stripped the program’s funding in the state budget and allowed the program to lapse in July.

Legislative Democrats aren’t letting this program go down without a fight. We brought forward legislation to keep Knowles-Nelson alive and ongoing because its impact is too great. We will always advocate for our environment.

Higher education should be within reach for anyone who wants it, and that’s why we introduced legislation to make that a reality.

Our “High Education Powers Wisconsin” package sets students and their families up for success by making tuition more affordable and giving them the resources they need to complete their education.  For Legislative Democrats, investing in our students is a no-brainer.

Strong schools are the key to Wisconsin’s future. They are critical to the success of students and serve as the backbone for our communities. We know our schools need significant support and that’s why we continue to be fierce advocates in doing what’s right for our students.

Last year, we introduced our “Kids First” package that would increase general aid to K-12 public schools, provide free healthy school meals for kids, and ensure transparency in how much of your tax dollars are going to voucher schools.

Our focus is on putting kids first, supporting our schools, and giving taxpayers a break.

Assembly Democrats know that Wisconsin workers deserve job security, safe working conditions, and their voice to be heard. Unfortunately, Legislative Republicans don’t see it that way.

This past session we unveiled our “Build a Stronger Wisconsin” labor package to grow our economy, ensure safer working conditions, and give workers a voice in the workplace. We stand behind our Wisconsin workers and the unions that support them.

Last session, Legislative Democrats proudly introduced the “Lowering Costs, Improving Lives” package because we know that Wisconsinites are tired of grappling with rising costs.

Our proposal included bills to provide much-needed relief by feeding kids free, healthy school meals, lowering prescription drug costs, and offering tax relief to renters and homeowners. We won’t stop fighting to make life more affordable for you and your family.
