Representative Piwowarczyk Votes to Approve Conservative Budget Focused on Tax Relief, Government Reform

MADISON, WI – The Wisconsin State Assembly has passed a conservative budget that cuts taxes, reins in government, and protects core freedoms.

Highlights include:

• Nearly $1.5 billion in tax relief, including eliminating the tax on natural gas and electricity
• Blocking over $3.7 billion in proposed tax hikes
• Cutting over 300 government positions, including hiring caps on UW System employees
• Major reforms to child care access and school choice, including for 4K
• Elimination of funding for partisan offices tied to environmental and social policy agendas
• Blocks state funding for the Office of Violence Prevention
• Preserving key conservative policies like Act 10, right-to-work, and Second Amendment protections

The budget also includes six new Assistant District Attorneys for Waukesha County—a public safety investment Representative Piwowarczyk championed. “I am thrilled Waukesha County is getting the support they need with funding for an additional six assistant district attorneys.” Said Rep. Piwowarczyk.

“This budget puts taxpayers first, blocks the far-left agenda, and ensures communities like ours are safer and stronger,” said Rep. Piwowarczyk. “I’m especially proud Waukesha County is getting six new prosecutors to keep our streets safe.”

The budget now heads to Governor Evers’ desk.
