Last week, we were glad to welcome @RepJessie to the North Side Family Medicine Residency Program! During her visit, Rep. Rodriguez learned more about how this residency program is training the next generation of family physicians to provide primary care in Milwaukee’s diverse North Side communities. During the last state budget, Rep. Rodriguez was a champion for increased funding to support MCW’s Family Medicine Residency Program, which will directly benefit the work happening at the North Side Family Medicine Residency Program. We appreciate her time and support of the important work happening to train the next generation of family physicians!

Tony Evers vetoed a bill that would've provided public school kids with scholarships up to $1,700 to pay for things like special ed services, tutoring, therapies--at no cost to Wisconsin taxpayers. Why? Because choice families could benefit too. The "Education Governor," folks:

Democrats love to talk a big game about school funding, yet they ALL opposed @RepJessie's bill that directly funds students. Opting into the federal tax credit scholarship is a no-brainer. It means more money for kids at no cost to the state. townhall.com/tipsheet/amy-cu…

Scammers are texting Wisconsin consumers and pretending to represent tolling agencies or the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. They claim you owe unpaid toll fees and will face consequences if you don’t pay right away.

State Bar member Ray Dall’Osto returned to the Capitol to testify on SB 577, increasing exoneree compensation. The @StateBarofWI supports justice for the wrongfully imprisoned and thanks bill sponsors @Vanwanggaard and @RepJessie for introducing this legislation.

This shouldn’t be a partisan issue—Wisconsin students benefit from this tax credit scholarship, regardless of if they go to public or private school. Sadly, @GovEvers is refusing to opt us in. Fortunately @RepJessie and @MaryFelzkowski have a bill to fix that. #YearOfTheKid
BIG NEWS: Colorado Governor Jared Polis is the first Democrat to commit his state to opting in to Trump's new nationwide school choice program. He said "I would be crazy not to." He's right.

Today, we pause to remember the 2,403 Americans who lost their lives in the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This solemn anniversary serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made to protect our nation and the enduring strength and resilience of the American people.

Strong proof that closing literacy gaps early - instead of changing the NAEP scoring levels by lowering the standards like Dr. Jill Underly did - helps increase reading proficiency. Having tough but reachable standards will propel our kids forward.
Mississippi has leapfrogged nearly 40 states in 4th grade reading.

Gov. Evers is blatantly wrong here. This federal tax credit — which doesn’t cost the Wisconsin taxpayers a penny — will benefit kids in all Wisconsin schools. Now, that money will flow to other states. wsj.com/opinion/wisconsins-s…

This program would give students more education options WITHOUT taxpayer dollars - it’s common sense. I urge the governor to put aside partisan politics and do what’s best for our kids
