A Better Wisconsin Together Congratulates New State Legislative Leadership, Looks Ahead to Progress on Issues GOP Has Stalemated
MADISON, Wis. — New Democratic leadership set to take the helm in Wisconsin’s state legislature became official today. This comes after nearly two decades of GOP control that enabled Republican lawmakers to weaponize their majority and block hundreds of popular policies from becoming law in Wisconsin.
Along with their respective elections to Senate Majority Leader and Assembly Majority Leader, Sen. Dianne Hesselbein (D-Middleton) and Rep. Greta Neubauer (D-Racine) also laid out their priorities of a state legislature that works for working people and makes progress on critical issues like rising costs, health care, public education, and protecting our freedoms and natural resources.
In response, A Better Wisconsin Together released the following statement:
“A new era is on the horizon in Wisconsin, one where our state government actually reflects the needs and priorities of the people it represents after 16 years of Republicans putting politics over people.
“We congratulate Sen. Hesselbein, Rep. Neubauer, and others elected to lead Wisconsin forward today, and we look forward to building a Badger State where every day constituents matter more than ultra-rich MAGA donors, and the change Wisconsinites want to see actually has an opportunity to be heard and acted on.”
