Rep. Sequanna Taylor Reacts to Governor Evers’ State of the State Address
MADISON, Wis. — Today [sic], Governor Tony Evers delivered his State of the State Address in the Wisconsin State Capitol, where he highlighted his vision for the next year.
Representative Taylor (D-Milwaukee) released the following statement:
“I applaud Governor Tony Evers for his unwavering commitments for those who need it most. Today, Governor Evers delivered his State of the State Address, highlighting key and important priorities for the state’s future. As we continue to face significant challenges—whether it’s tackling the rising cost of living, child care, or addressing our healthcare needs—it’s clear that Wisconsin needs bold, forward-thinking solutions.
“One of the most powerful moments in the Governor’s speech was when he stated, ‘No Wisconsinite should have to choose between paying bills and putting food on the table or getting their life-saving medication. Accessing healthcare and picking up basic prescriptions or insulin should not break the bank, folks.’ I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. Families in Milwaukee and across the state are struggling to make ends meet, and it’s unconscionable that so many are forced to choose between their health and their financial well-being.
“Governor Evers also address a major issue facing working families—child care. He rightly pointed out, ‘Child care is too darn expensive. We have to make child care more affordable and accessible. This is as much about doing what is best for our kids as it is doing what is best for our parents in our workforce and our economy, too’ I hear these concerns from parents every day. Access to affordable child care is critical not only for the well-being of children, but also for enabling parents, especially women, to stay in the workforce and provide for their families. This is a vital issue that we must prioritize.
“The challenges before us are significant, but so are the opportunities, Together, we can build a stronger, more equitable Wisconsin where every family has the resources and support they need to thrive.”
