Press Release

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

“Wisconsin farmers are the beating heart of our rural communities, and I’ve worked alongside them to preserve generations of family farm operations by securing the resources they need to succeed. Whether it’s supporting Wisconsin dairy, investing in innovative agricultural research, or ensuring they have access to mental health resources, I am proud to bring home these funds to support our shared goal of a prosperous, resilient agricultural economy in Wisconsin. We’re also investing in our rural communities for the next generation – protecting our farmland from foreign investors, expanding high-speed internet, and creating economic opportunities. Wisconsin’s tribal nations are also seeing investments in housing, transportation, and native language programs that I was proud to support. Finally, water is essential to the Wisconsin way of life, and this bill continues to make down payments on the future of our clean water infrastructure – getting rid of dangerous chemicals, ensuring families have safe drinking water, and investing in the health and resilience of our lakes, rivers, and freshwater ecosystems that are essential to our Made in Wisconsin economy.”
