January Facebook Live Q&A

EU FB

 

As your governor, it’s always great to hear from you directly about the issues most important to you and the future of our state.

One such opportunity to hear from you is our Facebook Live sessions. Yesterday, I hosted my fourth Facebook Live event and had the opportunity to answer your questions regarding voter ID laws, Medicaid, student loan debt, and Wisconsin's workforce, just to name a few. Check out the video above to learn more!

As we approach the next state budget, your input is very important to us, and we will use your feedback to shape our priorities for Wisconsin moving forward.

If you don’t already, please follow our Facebook page or on Twitter @GovWalker to stay up-to-date on all the great things happening throughout Wisconsin! We’ll continue to host these Facebook Live events and will announce upcoming sessions regularly. Be sure to keep an eye out for the next one, and we encourage you to submit your questions on our Facebook page here.


Celebrating the Life and Work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

EU MLK


It’s easy to stand up for what you believe in when that belief has strong popular support. It is much more difficult to do so in the face of constant criticism. On Monday, we celebrated the inspirational life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who did just that and refused to abandon his ideals. He fought for tolerance and respect despite adversity because “The time is always right to do what is right.”

His legacy lives on today and as a result of his efforts, our nation is stronger. His courage, determination, vision, and commitment to peace continue to inspire us to stand up for what is right as we strive to make our communities, our state, and our nation, a better place to live.

To honor this incredible leader, we participated in two events commemorating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., including the 20th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebratory Breakfast in Milwaukee and the 37th Annual State of Wisconsin Tribute and Ceremony in Madison. You can view the full 2017 Martin Luther King Jr. Tribute Ceremony here

We also proclaimed Monday as The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day throughout Wisconsin. View a copy of the proclamation below.

We enjoy sharing all the great news about our state with you. It is an honor to serve as your Governor and represent the people of Wisconsin.

Sincerely,
