April 2026

While @saraforwi said she would craft the budget “behind a curtain,” Democrat frontrunner @FrancescaHongWI may be even worse.

Her first, second, third, and fourth priorities are defunding the police. Only after that will she craft the budget.

Today is Tax Day and it is your final chance to file and claim the benefits you’ve earned. The average Wisconsin taxpayer will keep over $3,100 more this year thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts.

For many families across Wisconsin’s Third District, this year isn’t just about filing taxes, it is about keeping more of your hard-earned money. Thanks to recent tax relief, Americans are seeing real savings, bigger returns, and more money staying in their pockets. CHECK IT OUT!

Gov. Tony Evers issued a significantly consequential executive order on April 3, but it flew almost entirely beneath the public’s radar. He created a new “commutation” board to release prison inmates early for the first time in 25 years, even murderers and people serving life prison terms.

And almost no one noticed.

When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.

~ Isaiah 59:19

I’m sure I don’t really need to tell you this, but we’re in a spiritual battle. This isn’t a game or some kind of hyperbole; the soul of our nation is on the line right now.

The other day, I read and reflected on Isaiah 59:19. The passage reads: When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.

Following up on last week's "Testin's Throwback Thursday" post about the 2025-27 state budget, I want to shift the focus to some of the measures we incorporated into the fiscal plan to help Wisconsinites keep more money in their pockets.

As the Senate vice-chair of the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee, one of my top priorities was to provide the residents of Wisconsin with meaningful tax relief.

We accomplished this goal by expanding the second-lowest tax bracket of 4.4 percent to include married couples with incomes up to $67,300 and single filers up to $50,480.
