This evening, Governor Tony Evers gave his 2025 State of the State Address. In his speech, Governor Evers went into great detail about his plan for Wisconsin across a host of issue areas, most notably naming 2025 the “Year of the Kid” in Wisconsin.

State Representative Supreme Moore Omokunde (D-Milwaukee) said: “I really appreciate Governor Evers’ focus on our young people: his $300 million investment in comprehensive mental health services in schools; his efforts to expand the child and dependent care credit; his Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids initiative to ensure that hunger is not a distraction for any Wisconsin students; as well as his creation of The Wisconsin Office of Violence Prevention to help reimagine what violence prevention can look like statewide. I am also proud to stand with the Governor in his commitment to both protecting our environment and creating jobs and economic development.

“Achieving climate justice and investing in young people are literally passports to our future—we do for ourselves by doing for them. We must provide our future generations with the opportunity for greatness at every turn.”
