Wisconsin's small businesses are the perfect spot to find that one-of-a-kind gift for your loved ones this holiday season. I did some of my holiday shopping up in Merrill this week at Kindhearted Floral and Custom Creations, Polka-Dotted Pie, and Johnson's!

Congress must extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. Let's get this done.
A record number of Americans are anxious about health care costs going into next year
The West Health-Gallup survey finds almost half of adults say they’re worried they won’t be able to afford health care in 2026.

Manufacturing supports over 480,000 jobs here, making Wisconsin one of the top states in the nation for our concentration of manufacturing jobs.

President Trump's reckless tariff taxes and trade wars are bad news for manufacturers, working families, and our state.

Trump's feckless economic mismanagement is an economic demolition plan.

This administration is trying to shut down the Department of Education, and it’s simply a bad idea — and Wisconsin children and families are going to pay the price.

It's tough—and expensive—enough to be a student without also having to worry about whether or when you'll eat next.

We know that small businesses are more likely to hire locally, buy supplies locally, and give back to our communities.

They also employ over half of Wisconsin workers!
