I’ve vetoed 9 bills that would have restricted access to abortion in Wisconsin. As long as I’m governor, I’ll defend the right to safe and accessible reproductive healthcare.

While some politicians continue to spread election conspiracies, there are 3 things I know for sure.
1. The 2020 election was free, fair, and secure
2. I’ll block anything that makes it harder for eligible voters to vote
3. Democracy is on ballot this November

Now, if you think that’s scary, let me show you something that will really send a shiver down your spine—the latest polling in our race:
ALT 538 polling averages show Tim Michels (R) leading Tony Evers (D) 48.5% to 47.7% in the Wisconsin governor race.

I won the race for governor by less than 30,000 votes. This move pushed by Republicans to remove 200,000 Wisconsinites from the voter rolls is just another attempt at overriding the will of the people and stifling the democratic process.
