Office of Governor Tony Evers *FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:*?June 29, 2022 Contact:[email protected]? ? *Gov. Evers Releases Statement Regarding Wisconsin Supreme Court Decision in Prehn* ? MADISON?? Gov. Tony Evers today released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court of Wisconsin?s decision in Kaul v. Prehn.

?Today, I remind the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the Republican Party of this state that we do still live in a democracy, a?very basic function of which is the peaceful and respectful transfer of power, even?and most especially?when you lose.?

?Since becoming governor, I?ve worked to appoint experienced, hardworking Wisconsinites from every corner of our state to serve in important roles in our government?just like every governor has before me, and every governor will after me. These Wisconsinites are exceptionally qualified, should be considered on their merit, and should have the opportunity to serve the people of our state, regardless of whether or not they were appointed by a Democrat or share the same ideas as Republicans in the Legislature. They should've been confirmed a long time ago now.

?Today?s decision continues to underscore the erosion of democratic institutions at the hands of Republicans in this state. It?s wrongheaded, it?s shortsighted, and it?s politics at its most dangerous.?
