Governor Tony Evers

Every year, I visit all 72 counties at least once because I want to meet Wisconsinites where they’re at—homes, schools, farms, businesses, hospitals, and everywhere in between. And every day, I learn something new.

I can’t wait to do it again in 2026.

Our veterans often face unique challenges when they return to their civilian lives, so we are darn proud to be one of the top states in the nation for helping them find and maintain employment so they can be successful.

I declared 2026 the Year of the Neighbor because here in Wisconsin, we take care of our neighbors and look out for one another.

That's exactly what I saw when I visited the Durand Area Food Pantry this week: Neighbors volunteering their time to take care of their communities.

Our veterans often face unique challenges in their civilian lives, so we've been proud to invest millions of dollars in supporting and expanding access to mental health services, including veteran-to-veteran support and community-based programming, like equine-assisted therapy!

I was proud to sign into law a bill to allow counties and municipalities to enact ordinances to curb reckless driving in our state, and now, those efforts are helping make our roads, our communities, and our state safer.
