January 7Th, 2021 DELIVERED ELECTRONICALLY Vice President
January 7th, 2021 DELIVERED ELECTRONICALLY Vice President Pence: The events of January 6th, 2021 will be remembered as a dark day in American history. What the country, and the world, witnessed was insurrection. Rather than accepting the results of a free and fair election, extremists stormed the United States Capitol in an attempt to overturn President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ victory. These were not the organic actions of a few extreme supporters. It was a siege orchestrated and encouraged by the president to throw chaos into our democratic institutions in a desperate attempt to cling to power. Let us be clear, as long as President Trump is in office, the future of our republic is in danger. Every leader in our nation must stand up and acknowledge that now is the hour we must draw the line in the sand and remove President Trump from office before further damage is done. We also want to acknowledge the work being done by the Democratic members of Wisconsin’s Congressional delegation in their support for our nation’s laws and the principles of our democracy. Since November, the president has promoted conspiracy theories, lied countless times about the results of the election, and pursued legal action to overturn the will of the people. This culminated with yesterday’s actions at the Capitol with individuals determined to cause harm in a domestic terror attack on the most significant symbol of our system of self-government. Those responsible must be held to account under federal law. Today, we are calling on you to use your authority as Vice President to invoke the 25th Amendment immediately to ensure a peaceful transition of power and to save our nation. -

S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis. -
Legislation Introduced Package Aimed at Increasing Agricultural Opportunities
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Rep. Considine, (608) 266-7746 September 3, 2019 Rep. Spreitzer, (608) 266-1192 Rep. Vruwink, (608) 266-3790 Bipartisan “Our Farms, Our Future” Legislation Introduced Package Aimed at Increasing Agricultural Opportunities Madison – Today, a bipartisan group of legislators introduced the “Our Farms, Our Future” package. These three bills aim to strengthen opportunities for Wisconsin farmers at every stage of their careers: from beginning farmers that are launching a career in farming, to new and established farmers looking to innovate and diversify their operations, to retiring farmers who are passing on their operation to the next generation. Rep. Dave Considine (D-Baraboo) introduced a bill with Rep. Bob Kulp (R-Stratford), Rep. Deb Kolste (D- Janesville), and Sen. Patrick Testin (R-Stevens Point) related to farm succession planning. “As members of the Assembly Committee on Agriculture, we hear about the very real barriers that Wisconsin farmers face,” stated Rep. Considine. “I also know from personal experience about some of these barriers, such as farm succession planning. Since farming looks different today than it used to, passing down the family farm is no longer as simple as it once was. This bill will create two new positions in the University of Wisconsin System to help farmers create succession plans that fit their individual situations.” Rep. Mark Spreitzer (D-Beloit) introduced legislation with Rep. Tony Kurtz (R-Wonewoc), Rep. Deb Kolste (D-Janesville), and Sen. Janis Ringhand (D-Evansville) aimed at continuing our state’s proud agricultural tradition by mitigating student debt. “Recruiting and retaining beginning farmers from diverse backgrounds is essential to continuing Wisconsin’s strong tradition of family-supporting farms,” said Rep. -

August 30, 2021 to the Madison Metropolitan School District Board
August 30, 2021 To the Madison Metropolitan School District Board of Education: We encourage you swiftly to enact a policy of mandatory vaccination for all adults in MMSD facilities, including teachers and staff. With the huge increase in COVID-19 cases and the hyper-contagious delta variant circulating widely in our community and nation, we must take every possible step to protect public health -- and especially the wellbeing of our children. Last year, Madison led the way in requiring masking and moving to virtual education, but we now lag behind many other districts around the country that have enacted vaccination rules. Across the nation, as children have returned to school, pediatric ICU units are overflowing with children suffering from COVID. While children have previously been thought less susceptible to serious outcomes, they are becoming ill at alarming rates, and the long-term effects of this disease on children are unknown. Hundreds of children have died, and thousands more have suffered serious health consequences. Just as alarming, increased COVID hospitalization jeopardizes the health care resources, from staffing to beds, we have to treat people with other ailments. As responsible adults, we must do everything we can to protect the most vulnerable members of our society, including children too young to be vaccinated and the immunocompromised. It's been encouraging to see that Madison Teachers Inc. and the NEA have come out so strongly in favor of making schools safer by requiring vaccination. The time for further debate, planning, and consideration has passed. Teachers, parents, and healthcare workers agree: our community urgently needs a vaccine mandate for our schools -- and we need it now.
