We were able to hear from the Benedictine Sisters about the values of care of the earth that led to one of the most ‘green’ buildings in the country as well as restored prairie, savanna areas, and nature trails throughout the 130 acres of land.

This morning, I was on “In Focus” talking about our efforts to hold Big Tech accountable and establish privacy-by-default, safety-by-design standards for social media.

Today I'm reminded of my visit to Westport Prairie with @RepJoers this time last year to learn more about restoration efforts at the historic Empire Prairie. Wisconsin’s natural beauty is worth protecting, and we must continue investing in conservation efforts across our state.

“Two things happen: They can either shift that cost onto parents, or they say, ‘I’m not willing to do that. I’m going to close my doors.’ And I think both of those things are happening,” said state Rep. Alex Joers, D-Waunakee, who has been a childcare advocate in the Legislature.

Wisconsin childcare funding was working. It ends this summer.

When state childcare funding dries up this summer, parents, providers and advocates worry it will have ripple effects on the families and the economy.

Assembly Democrats show up to work every day focused on doing right by the communities we represent. That meant each of us had to make a difficult decision this week.

The Trump Administration's changes to Foodshare will make it harder for Wisconsin families to put food on the table. wisconsinexaminer.com/2026/0…

SNAP work requirements don’t boost jobs, but drop participation, research finds • Wisconsin Examiner

Stricter work requirements won’t enhance employment and will push more people off food assistance a new study finds.

Protect Our Water 🌊 For over a year, my colleagues and I have been working to find a compromise to release over $100 million to address PFAS in our state. Today, @govevers put the pen to paper signing into law the bills that would do just that.

The bipartisan group of legislators, stakeholders, and agency partners that worked to get this done should be proud of the accomplishment, but it is clear we have more work to do. For many, clean water is still not accessible. Let’s use this momentum to continue to get results.

It shouldn't have taken this long but with one final collective effort we got it done. Now the work continues until WI is the healthiest state in the nation and no one goes bankrupt or goes without health care because of cost. This is what making life a little better looks like.

Investing in kids and lowering property taxes are two of our top priorities. We can’t finish the session without making these needed investments. This is a responsible and common sense proposal and we should get it done.
Rep. Christian Phelps@RepPhelpsWIMar 14
When the state pays its fair share, property taxes stay down. It's that simple. I’m joining my colleagues in introducing a proposal to provide property tax relief while funding our public schools.

I am a proud signatory of this letter to the Speaker Robin Vos which urges him to bring AB 263, Gail’s Law, to the floor for vote.  Gail’s Law ensures women have access to breast cancer screenings without the fear of financial strain. Early cancer detection saves lives!

I was proud to sign onto this letter urging Republican leadership to bring Gail’s Law (AB 263 / SB 264) to the Assembly floor for a vote. No one should have to skip lifesaving breast cancer screenings because of cost. This bipartisan bill deserves a vote.
