WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, I released the following statement after voting to pass the House budget resolution:

To be explicitly clear: today’s budget resolution did not include any cuts to specific programs. Anyone saying otherwise is lying and engaging in the fearmongering of our farmers, veterans, seniors, and most vulnerable populations. The budget resolution simply sets the framework for how the federal government can be better stewards of taxpayer dollars.

Despite the fact that Susan Crawford served as the lead attorney who attempted to overturn Act 10, she refuses to recuse herself from presiding over the case that will come before the Wisconsin Supreme Court. She’s compromised. 

As a lawyer at Wisconsin’s premiere leftist law firm, Susan Crawford led the Democrat effort to overturn Act 10 and she was proud of her efforts. publicly bragged about her efforts to kill the Wisconsin law, boldly professing, “I fought against Act 10.” Now, Crawford wants Wisconsin voters to forget about it.

The Primary election is over. We now move onto the general election for one of the biggest races our state will have this decade. Speaking of which, did you know that only 9.5% of the people who voted for Trump last fall voted for the candidate conservatives backed for DPI Superintendent in the primary? For conservatives to win this April 1, we need to see over 55% of Trump voters engaged this election.

We are one step closer to higher educational standards for our kids. The Assembly passed a bill to undo Jill Underly’s decision to double down on lowering standards while only 3 in 10 Wisconsin kids are career or college-ready. This is critically important, when I’m elected, I will return our high standards immediately. Our kids deserve so much better.

As a former public school teacher and public school principal, I know students rise to the expectations set for them. We need to restore high standards for our Wisconsin kids.

It’s only been one month since President Trump has been in office, but he’s already delivering results directly to you. After four years of weak leadership and skyrocketing costs, America is already stronger, safer, and more prosperous.

In Wisconsin, gas prices are down from a month ago as President Trump continues to unleash American energy dominance. In addition, Joe Biden’s costly appliance mandates, which would have made water heaters $2,800 more expensive, have been blocked.

A friend called me and told me about a book she was reading, A Hillbilly Elegy. We talked for a long time and then I got many follow up calls about the book and the similarities to a friend of ours. It started out with a young person in a very difficult childhood, a very unstable family, that involved drug addiction, failed marriage and relationships. This book is the young life of J.D. Vance. He spent most of his young life with his Grandmother, she was a poor hillbilly who had some family standards and she generally was a good person with some street smarts.

I have a laptop computer. If you press the windows key with the H key at the same time, it will take dictation. I recently did this in front of my television set See if you can identify who made these statements:

A. “This report tells us how to cut waste, cut red tape, streamline the bureaucracy, change procurement rules, change the personnel rules and create a government that works better and cost less.”

B. “By paying for these plans 1st with cuts in government waste and efficiency; 2nd with cuts not gimmicks.”
