If Congress fails to act, virtually all hemp products will be banned by November. Consumable hemp has a $700 million economic impact in Wisconsin—this could put jobs at risk.

I'm urging federal leaders to fix this problem and protect our farmers and producers. Read my letter ⬇️

President Trump’s erratic trade wars and reckless—and illegal—tariff taxes are hurting Wisconsin working families, farmers, manufacturers, and small business owners, and jacking up prices at the grocery store for Wisconsin families and seniors. Hard-working families here in Wisconsin and across our country are paying the price for Trump’s tariff taxes, costing Americans nearly $200 billion last year alone. Time and again, the Trump Administration continues to blatantly ignore our constitutional checks and balances, and Republicans in Congress not only aren’t doing anything to stop him—they’re helping him. Congress cannot continue to let this continued overreach of power go unchecked. Americans are concerned about rising costs and putting food on the table to feed their families, and on-again-off-again tariff taxes are only making things harder. Wisconsin families shouldn’t be saddled with the cost of the president’s illegal tariff taxes, and that’s why we’re headed to court to stop him

President Trump’s reckless—and illegal—tariff taxes are hurting Wisconsin’s working families and our most critical industries.

We’re headed to court to stop him. My statement ⬇️

Wisconsin has fair, safe, and secure elections thanks in large part to our local election heroes, hard-working neighbors like Toya and the good folks in Shorewood!

Next time you cast your ballot be sure to thank the folks who make it happen.

I’m calling the Legislature into Special Session on April 14th to ban partisan gerrymandering once and for all.

We have a responsibility to make sure Wisconsinites never have to live under some of the most gerrymandered legislative maps in America ever again. Let's get it done.

Republican or Democrat or otherwise, we don't want rigged maps in Wisconsin.

The people should get to choose their elected leaders, not the other way around. I'm calling to ban partisan gerrymandering in Wisconsin, and I'm urging lawmakers to put politics aside and join me.

On April 14, I'm calling on lawmakers to ban partisan map rigging—no tricks, no gimmicks, no funny politics. This is about doing the right thing. Simple as that. Let’s get it done.

While Wisconsinites finally have fair maps today, if the Legislature doesn’t act now, our maps could go right back to being rigged. Wisconsinites could go right back to living under some of the most undemocratic maps in America. Again.

Folks, we cannot go back.

But here's the rub: New maps are redrawn every 10 years, and because Wisconsin doesn’t have a permanent nonpartisan redistricting process in place, Wisconsinites have no guarantee that we’ll still have fair maps after the next U.S. Census, especially once I’m no longer governor.

Two years ago, I signed fair maps into law, ending a decade of Wisconsinites living under some of the most gerrymandered legislative maps in America. And we've already seen how fair maps force lawmakers to work together, find compromise, and get good things done for Wisconsin.

Gov. Evers signs executive order

BREAKING: This morning, I delivered on my promise and signed an executive order calling lawmakers into a special session to pass a constitutional amendment to ban partisan gerrymandering in Wisconsin once and for all. 🧵

Ripped headline from Independent Voter News: "Tony Evers' Final Mission as Governor: End Partisan Gerrymandering for Good"

Wisconsin is not a red state or a blue state–we’re a purple state. After years of Wisconsinites living under the most gerrymandered legislative maps in America, I want to make sure we never go back.

Trump’s illegal tariffs are hurting our Made in Wisconsin manufacturers and economy. How many more businesses have to close before the president finally listens and follows the law?

The President has been illegally raising the price of your groceries for over a year, and now he’s doubling down on his disastrous trade war. This only sends the message that he is not focused or even trying to lower your costs.

Wisconsin joins lawsuit challenging CDC child vaccine schedule changes CDC leadership announced in early January that the agency would dramatically reduce the number of vaccines recommended for all American children.

ICYMI: Wisconsin is joining a lawsuit to fight the Trump Administration's dangerous and harmful new vaccine schedule for our kids.

These changes do nothing to keep our kids and families healthy and safe. We’re in court to fight it.

Wisconsinites have been hard at work to build back from these historic flooding events, but folks are not out of the woods yet. The federal government shouldn’t be leaving Wisconsin and our communities behind in our time of need.

Americans pay Trump's Tariff Tax

Ripped headline from WBAY: “Farm bankruptcies in Wisconsin rise as national rate hits highest point since 2020”

There were over 300 farm bankruptcies in 2025, with over a third of those bankruptcies here in the Midwest.

The Trump Administration cannot keep turning their backs on our farmers and producers—and on America's Dairyland.

This is not a dictatorship. No politician should be able to illegally abuse their power to try and interfere with our elections.

We have accurate and secure elections in Wisconsin because we trust local clerks, poll workers, and administrators to run them, not Donald Trump.

Ripped headline from CNN Politics: “CNN poll finds majority of Americans say Trump is focused on the wrong priorities”

🙋 And many Wisconsinites are among them.

Turns out, building a giant golden ballroom and exacting revenge on political opponents while families struggle to make ends meet and costs go up isn’t very popular…

Six years ago today, five workers were killed in a horrific act of gun violence at Molson Coors.

These were our friends, loved ones, family, and neighbors, and today, we remember them and honor their memories. They will never be forgotten.

READ: The Trump Administration is making it harder for us to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse.

It's why I'm asking President Trump to intervene and restore the investments Wisconsin needs to finish modernizing our cutting-edge UI system.

Here’s my letter ⬇️

In 2023 and 2024 combined, there were only 2 Wisconsin farm bankruptcies.

In 2025, that number skyrocketed to 16.

If we want to continue to be America’s Dairyland, we have to stop this — and that starts with Donald Trump ending this reckless trade war.

Yikes! That's embarrassing…

Wisconsin households struggling to afford basic necessities, are at risk from unexpected expenses A report from last year shows 35% of Wisconsin households don’t earn enough to cover those essentials.

Wisconsinites are hard workers by nature, but paychecks aren't going as far as they used to.

From healthcare and groceries to housing, we must do more to lower costs for working families.
