Hey there -- A LOT has happened this week, and you
might not have been able to keep up with it all (that's okay).
Here's a quick round-up:
* Trump was impeached! Again.
Every Democrat in the Wisconsin Congressional delegation voted
for impeachment. Thank you Congress members Kind, Moore, and
Pocan for doing your duty and standing up for American democracy!
Every Republican House member from Wisconsin voted against
impeaching Trump for inciting violent insurrection at the
Capitol. This includes:
* Scott Fitzgerald
* Mike Gallagher
→ Mike Gallagher even admitted that "Trump bears
responsibility" for the mob violence in DC. Yet he still voted
against impeachment. All words, no action, abject hypocrisy.
* Tom Tiffany
* Bryan Steil
* Glenn Grothman
* Governor Evers gave his State of the State address, and laid
out a powerful agenda for the people of Wisconsin. You can watch
the full speech here,

and here are some highlights:
* Governor Evers declared 2021 the Year of Broadband Access,
calling for a $200 million investment in Internet infrastructure.
* Governor Evers announced that he will be calling for a special
session of the legislature to overhaul Wisconsin's antiquated
unemployment system--crucial at a time when so many people need to
access it.
* Governor Evers talked about his People's Maps Commission, and
the urgent need to end gerrymandering in Wisconsin, and
strengthen democracy.
* The WisDems launched a six-figure ad buy calling on Ron Johnson
to resign for his role in inciting the violent insurrection in DC
last week.
