Happy Veterans Day! It was a privilege to join Tom Friedel, veteran and Vice President of Racine Area Veterans Inc., at today’s Veterans Day Ceremony.  Today and beyond, we recognize the bravery and sacrifice of our veterans.

Thanks to Racine Unified for having us and please continue to reach out to us if you or your kids are interested in learning more about working in government!

🎞️ SIZZLE REEL: Dems in Disarray From the View (the oracles of left-wing wine moms) to resistance podcasters to LGBTQI activist Harry Sisson, the left is melting down over Democrats abandoning their kamikaze shutdown mission. Chuck Schumer's political career may be over.

I had a great time chatting with high school students today at Racine Unified’s See Your Future Expo at Park High School. I am always impressed by our students’ thoughtful questions and feedback about the issues that are most important to them.

I’m grateful to @UpNorthNewsWI for giving me the opportunity to share how Legislative Democrats have been stepping in for Wisconsinites during Trump’s government shutdown.

If you can't make it to one of our spots, you can also deposit food directly into the official Racine County Food Bank barrels located at your local Pick N' Save and Piggly Wiggly stores.

Limited time. Lasting impression.

Help us make a difference as we collect donations for the Racine County Food Bank! Visit one of these local spots listed below and drop items into our collection boxes. Check out the details to help support our community!

Full FoodShare payments should be made to nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites who depend on them. FoodShare members should see the full November amount on their QUEST card. Wisconsinites in need of additional food or resources can still call 211.

If you or someone you know needs resources, check out the information below and continue sharing. To help our local food banks, please consider donating food or contributing a monetary donation as they experience higher levels of service.

We know partially funding SNAP benefits through November does not go far enough. Many Wisconsinites will still face difficulty accessing the food they need. We’ve been on the ground working with local food banks and other community organizations to support our neighbors in need.

Targeting Planned Parenthood was a harmful attempt by Trump to take away healthcare and reproductive services from people. I’m grateful services resumed and Wisconsinites will again have access to essential care.

Kids, families and elderly people will go hungry if they don't get their SNAP benefits this week. The Trump Administration must abide by this ruling and direct the USDA to immediately begin processing November benefits for people across the country.

All across Wisconsin, @wiassemblydems and @wisenatedemocrats are on the ground, organizing to help our neighbors during this crisis. https://t.co/AkBLKnNz1v

Keep reaching out to your congresspeople to tell them to extend the ACA tax credits and reopen the government.

Democrats know that people deserve better and that’s why we’re fighting to lower the cost of living, increase access to affordable healthcare coverage, and ensure people can do more than just get by.

Wisconsinites will see a major spike in the cost of their health care coverage if the Affordable Care Act tax credits are not extended. And this is no accident — Trump and Congressional Republicans intentionally cut these subsidies earlier this year.

I will continue to use every avenue to advocate and fight for the people in my district, and am grateful that we have joined this lawsuit to allow the release of funds.

It is simply cruel that the federal government would allow nearly 270,000 children across our state - 14,000 of them in Racine County - to lose access to food assistance. https://t.co/w5jhxAf2h8

This is indefensible, and Democrats will continue fighting against the GOP’s chaos. I’m glad Governor Evers and Attorney General Kaul are taking action to protect Wisconsin families.

I want to make it perfectly clear that there is an option on the table to feed families for another month, and the Trump Administration is refusing to use available federal funding to extend food assistance into November.

In just a few days, nearly 700,000 Wisconites, including more than 260,000 children, will lose access to FoodShare benefits - essential food necessities.
