Milwaukee may see uniformed members of the National Guard this weekend. No, this is not like what's happening in DC. Milwaukee's Common Council President wants people to know: the Guardsmen are just here to enjoy their national conference and this city.

Sarah Godlewski timeline:.▶️2018: Elected Wisconsin Treasurer.▶️2022: Didn't run for reelection; failed U.S. Senate bid.▶️2023: Gov. Evers appointed her to serve as Secretary of State after Doug La Follete retired just months after winning new term.▶️Now: Running for Lt. Gov.
I was raised in a union household where the rules were simple: work hard, help people, and always show up. I lived by those rules as State Treasurer and Secretary of State. Now, I'm bringing them along as I run to be Wisconsin's next Lieutenant Governor.

When will FEMA arrive in Wisconsin for assessment?.On Friday, I reported Milwaukee County Exec. David Crowley said he heard it might be today, but now a county spokesperson says: “County officials have heard unconfirmed reports that FEMA is anticipated to arrive later this week.".

Milwaukee's Common Council writes @POTUS urging him to declare a disaster. However, under the Stafford Act, only the governor can formally request the President declare a major disaster/emergency. Gov. Evers has to wait until FEMA finishes joint assessment of damages.

Bipartisan members of Wisconsin's Congressional delegation urge DHS Secretary Noem to speed up the process for FEMA help for Wisconsin. Gov. Evers can't ask President to declare a disaster, yet, as there's a required joint FEMA/state assessment that still needs to happen next.
