“Our community has experienced a severe weather event, and my heart is with everyone enduring this catastrophe right now. I want to express my gratitude to Governor Evers for joining us in Wauwatosa to survey some of the devastating storm damage, and to meet with our extraordinary first responders, city leaders and staff, as well as local business owners who are facing challenging losses.

“The damage is serious, and the pain across the community is real. Let’s be good neighbors and take care of each other during this difficult time. Forward, together.”
