90% of the school districts surveyed by @journalsentinel reported more kids failed a class last fall than in recent years. It's a five-alarm wake-up call that students in schools that remain closed are being dealt a major setback. More in @thecentersquare: https://t.co/sXjf8470e7

Wisconsin could land a major #ElectricVehicle manufacturing plant, but not unless we change a Great Depression-era state law that forbids automakers from selling their cars directly to consumers.
Today in the Senate, @RepAdamNeylon and I testified on our bill modernizing WI's dealership law to allow direct sales. It's a win for the free market, economy, and environment - and it could help land a major #ElectricVehicle manufacturer. I explain here: https://t.co/UE3AtF6Rjn
We've come a long way over the past decade to make Wisconsin truly solvent and eliminate the state's GAAP deficit. But the governor's budget would roll back that progress. I discuss responsible budgeting in my latest e-update: https://t.co/Zk31qLfw8M https://t.co/60z19kVKdp
Veterans for Political Innovation @OperationVPI is a newly formed organization dedicated to making politics less toxic and gov't function better. It's a great honor to have received their first VPI award today! https://t.co/sZc9xAkkKu
I had the opportunity to speak to an American Government class at Brookfield Central High School this afternoon. Had a great Q&A with this group of future leaders. Thanks for having me @BCHS_SDE! https://t.co/Wu8D72L2bU
The JFC budget, plus an influx of federal aid, means WI schools will receive about $17.9B over the next two years. Fact is, the federal aid can be used for virtually anything a school needs to operate. @MacIverWisc and @DanODonnellShow explain: https://t.co/TXLGE3o404 https://t.co/sbuSzBhUwZ
When we reduce taxes, more 💵 is available for people to spend and invest in their local communities. Our tax plan lowers income taxes, eases property taxes & provides relief to Main Street businesses. I explain our tax relief plan in the @WiStateJournal: https://t.co/i7RVjTyGqr
You have stayed silent while schools in your district serving minorities remained closed while white kids around the state are getting educated in person. This is the social justice issue of the day and you are desperate to find distractions. https://t.co/BHhfqTkMVo
This morning @SenMarklein @RepWittke @SenStroebel and I discussed a pair of amendments that will secure long-term fiscal responsibility in the state Constitution by requiring GAAP accounting and restoring the legislative process for all funds spent by the state. https://t.co/y6ge6R5uXt
