Thank you to Wisconsin Conservation Voters for naming me a Conservation Champion for my 100% score this legislative session. I’m proud to have a 100% lifetime score for voting to protect our air, water, land, and democracy for current and future generations!💧 🍃 🗳️ 🌅
Glad to be out on Pothole Patrol with @GovEvers in Stevens Point yesterday! I enjoyed hearing from our Public Works Department about everything that goes into repairing our roads and seeing them and the governor in action. Please join me in thanking them for their hard work!
🚧 It's that time of year, folks! 🚧
I’m kicking off my annual "Pothole Patrol" tour, so I'll be out there fixing the darn roads my darn self! I might even stop by your neighborhood, so come by and say hi. 👋

Packed house tonight for @RepShankland & Sen. @keldahelenroys at the Muscoda Village Hall in northern Grant County for a true public forum on the @UWSystem closing campuses like @UWRichland. Listening to the public on public universities & offering solutions. It’s a novel idea I wish more legislators & state leaders would follow.
The lack of urgency & attention to the serious issue of PFAS contamination from these legislators speaks volumes. As someone who actively tried to improve the bill & work with them, I’m disappointed with their lack of interest in releasing these vital funds. Instead we see this:

We deserve clean water & health care access. GOP legislators continue to hold up this $ - and didn’t bother to show up for work. If they disagree with funding clean water & healthcare, they should say so instead of dodging their duties. Playing politics over our health is wrong!

From students to educators, legislators to the AAPI coalition of Wisconsin, this has been a massive effort years in the making. I’m deeply grateful to my colleagues, especially @RepShankland & @PatSnyder56, for championing this legislation.
Our diversity is our strength. 🫶🏼

We did it. Wisconsin is now the sixth state to require Asian American/Hmong American history. It was so much fun celebrating this momentous day with the coalition of people that made this momentous day possible. @StateRepHong @GovEvers @RepShankland

"What's more disappointing and more unfair is the people who have been waiting for years for the Legislature to get their act together,” Rep. Katrina Shankland said. “How many sessions is it going to take to get something real done on PFAS?” 🧵

Ask DNR when they’ve utilized the spills law for PFAS. I’ve asked my colleagues to name an example of when it’s been misused, and I haven’t heard an answer yet. The spills law is the best tool in the toolbox to immediately get clean drinking water to communities impacted by PFAS.
Three years ago, rioters stormed the Capitol & 147 GOP lawmakers voted to overturn the 2020 election results. It was a harrowing day for our country & must never happen again. We must work relentlessly to defend our democracy, safeguard our elections, & protect our right to vote.
Senator Kohl was a true statesman, focused on doing the most good for the greatest number of people. I was touched by his generosity and kindness as a recipient of the Herb Kohl Excellence Scholarship and deeply moved by his thoughtful public service.
I’m thrilled that the WI Supreme Court ruled that our state legislative maps are unconstitutional! The ruling also ordered new state legislative maps for the 2024 elections. This is amazing news for our democracy and voters! Fair maps empower us all to own and shape our futures.
