Speaker Robin Vos: (608) 266-9171 Majority Leader Jim Steineke
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 13, 2021 For more information: Speaker Robin Vos: (608) 266-9171 Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu: (608) 266-2056 Majority Leader Jim Steineke: (608) 266-2401 President Chris Kapenga: (608) 266-9174 Rep. Tyler August: (608) 266-1190 Sen. Dan Feyen: (608) 266-5300 Rep. Mark Born: (608) 266-2540 Sen. Howard Marklein: (608) 266-0703 Legislative Republican Leaders Respond to Special Session Request Madison…Legislative Republican leaders call on Governor Evers to take ownership of the problems with the Unemployment Insurance (UI) system. Legislative audits have shown the major issues with the backlog at the Department of Workforce Development (DWD) during the pandemic were not due to an old computer system but rather mismanagement of the agency itself. In addition, a new Legislative Fiscal Bureau memo states that the Evers administration has the authority to initiate these IT upgrades on its own. “Governor Evers continues to cast blame on others and accepts little fault himself,” said Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester). “We are always open to passing necessary legislation, but unfortunately, this Special Session call is about politics; not about policy.” "Governor Evers already has the funding and tools he needs to fix the problems at DWD," said Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu (R-Oostburg). "Now, instead of effectively using his resources, he's scrambling to shift blame while people are still left waiting." “We are unfortunately seeing the same song and dance from Governor Evers that we’ve come to expect: a lack of leadership,” said Majority Leader Jim Steineke (R-Kaukauna). “The governor has consistently slapped down the legislature’s extended hand to address the unemployment backlog, and now is trying to pass the buck when ownership of the UI failure is both needed and warranted.” “The Governor calling us into a Special Session is pure political grandstanding,” said Rep. -

For Immediate Release Contact: Alanna Conley Monday, March 15 2021 (608) 520-0547 34 STATE LEGISLATORS ENDORSE JILL UNDERLY FOR STATE SUPERINTENDENT HOLLANDALE, Wis. — Pecatonica Area School District Superintendent and candidate for Wisconsin State Superintendent Jill Underly announced today she has received the endorsement of 34 current and former state legislators. See the full list of endorsers on the next page. "Dr. Jill Underly is a steadfast champion of our public schools. Her platform is rooted in equity and her mission to provide every child in Wisconsin the high-quality public education they deserve regardless of their race, ability, gender, orientation, or socio-economic status,” said Sen. LaTonya Johnson (D-Milwaukee). “I know that Jill is the right choice for this important job and I'm proud to endorse her." “I urge everyone to get out and vote for Jill Underly for State Superintendent of Public Instruction,” said Sen. Janet Bewley (D-Mason). “Jill’s lifelong dedication to public education as a teacher, administrator, UW advisor, and as Superintendent of Pecatonica, as well as her previous work with the Department of Public Instruction make her an ideal candidate for this position.” “Dr. Jill Underly has dedicated her life to public education with over 20 years of experience in every facet of public education. Jill has the experience and perspective we need in our next State Superintendent.” said former Sen. Dale Schultz (R-Richland Center). “I know that Jill will do what’s best for our kids every single day she’s in office and she has my wholehearted endorsement in this race.” “Dr. -

Dear Member / Guardians, A Bill to provide free online training for guardians (LTB 0143/1) is out for co-sponsorship (see summary below). The co-sponsorship deadline is Monday February 8th. If this issue is important to you, call or e-mail your State Senator and State Representative (look up who are my legislators) by February 8th to see if they will co-sponsor LRB 0143/1. This bill is being reintroduced as it passed the Assembly last year with a broad bi-partisan list of co-sponsors. However, the bill did not make to the Governor's desk before the end of last legislative session. In this legislative session, we are looking for more co-sponsors for this Bill. We have a strong list of lead authors, if your state senator or representative is listed below, they are already on the bill. We encourage you to thank them for their support. • Sen. André Jacque • Sen. Kathy Bernier • Sen. Van Wanggaard • Sen. Patrick Testin • Sen. LaTonya Johnson • Sen. Janet Bewley • Sen. Brad Pfaff • Rep. Shannon Zimmerman • Rep. Barb Dittrich • Rep. Jessie Rodriguez • Rep. Beth Meyers Quick bill summary: This bill will provide guardians plain language training and support. It provides free online training to family and volunteer guardians about their role, responsibilities, and other important features of Wisconsin’s guardianship law before they are appointed. • Many family members who become a guardian do not fully understand what a guardian’s role, responsibilities, and administrative duties are under Wisconsin law. Frequently, guardians feel overwhelmed, unprepared, isolated, and unsupported. continued • The bill will provide free accessible web-based training for potential and current guardians without increasing work for the courts or counties. -

Everyone who wants insurance in our state has access and options,” said Speaker Vos and Leader LeMahieu. “Our unique-to-Wisconsin solution is working, and we will not shift tens of thousands of people off their private insurance to a government-run system.” “If the Governor were serious about the proposals he packed into this bill, he could fund each one of them today with the mountain of federal funds at his direct disposal,” Leader Steineke and President Kapenga said. “This is a thinly-veiled political maneuver by the Governor. We intend to gavel out this unserious stunt.” “The Governor says this special session is about BadgerCare, but this bill is nothing more than a mini budget advanced by the Governor because he didn’t get his way through the normal budget process,” Sen. -

The legislative branch sets broad policy and es- tablishes the general structures and regulations for carrying them out. The executive branch administers the programs and policies, while the judicial branch is responsible for adjudicating any conflicts that may arise from the interpretation or application of the laws. Constitutional Officers. The executive branch includes the state’s six constitutional officers – the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney general, and state superintendent of public instruction.
