Weekly Addresses

This week’s Weekly Radio Addresses from Wisconsin Capitol discuss small businesses and visitng every county in Wisconsin. These addresses are available for Wisconsin broadcasters to use as they see fit. Here are the summaries from WisPolitics:

— In this week’s , Sen. André Jacque celebrates Small Business Saturday and encourages Wisconsinites to buy local. 

“Small businesses employ millions of Wisconsinites and contribute to our state’s economic strength. In every part of our state, these businesses offer the personalized service and products that big-box stores simply can’t match. Supporting them means investing in our neighbors, our communities, and our future,” the De Pere Republican says. 

He says Wisconsinites should shop local on Nov. 30 to celebrate the day. 

“The Wisconsin Legislature’s Republican majority is committed to fostering an environment where small businesses can continue to grow and prosper,” Jacque says. “Let’s stand together and support the hardworking men and women who make our state great.” 

— In this week’s , Gov. Tony Evers touts his completion of his annual visit to each of Wisconsin’s 72 counties in 2024.

The Dem governor says an important part of his work is to spend time outside the state’s Capitol, connecting with Wisconsinites to “hear about the issues that matter most to them and find solutions to the challenges we face.”

“I’ve made it my goal to visit all 72 counties every year as governor, and I am proud that this year, we have wrapped up my fifth 72-county tour since taking office,” Evers says.

On this year’s tour of Wisconsin’s counties, Evers spent time with residents in their homes, businesses, schools and campuses, farms, hospitals and community gatherings. In the process, he says he was able to see the “good work happening all across the state.” “Wisconsin will never cease to amaze me, and it’s a privilege to be your governor and to travel the state to hear your stories,” he says.
