— In this week’s Dem radio address, Gov. Tony Evers outlines his 2026 legislative agenda, calling on the GOP-led Legislature to build on last year’s “bipartisan successes.”
“I’m calling on the Legislature to approve my plan to address skyrocketing health care costs, crack down on price gouging for health care, prescriptions and insulin, and eliminate the sales tax on everyday household items,” the Dem governor says. “I’m also asking the Legislature to join me in providing property tax relief for Wisconsin homeowners and for working families, veterans and seniors across our state.”

— In this week’s GOP radio address, Sen. Jesse James highlights Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month and celebrates his 28 years of sobriety from alcohol and drugs.
“I isolated myself from family and friends when I began drinking and using drugs. I was on a path to destruction,” the Thorp Republican says. “However, I found my way back to a life filled with love, support and respect — things that are often lost in addiction. But being honest is why I am sharing my story in the first place. I fell many times on my road to recovery, but I learned that relapse means recovery. You’re going to fall, and that’s okay. What matters is how you start again.” Read the full story. (WisPolitics/State Affairs)
