Wisconsin has a $3 billion surplus because you were overtaxed. It's time for relief. -Return the surplus to you -End the 400-year property tax hike -Cut income taxes by 10% for working families -No state taxes on tips or overtime BIGGER paychecks. Not BIGGER government.

While returning home from the La Crosse County Lincoln Day Dinner tonight, the plane I was traveling in lost power as we approached the Wausau Downtown Airport. The pilot made an emergency water landing in Lake Wausau. After landing, we called 911. As the plane began to submerge, we exited the aircraft and swam to a shallow area, where we waited until emergency responders reached us by boat. I want to express my deepest gratitude to the pilot, the Wausau Fire Department, and all of the first responders who came to our aid so quickly. They got us safely off the water and transported us to Aspirus Wausau Hospital, where we received excellent care. Thankfully, both the pilot and I sustained only minor injuries. God was watching over us tonight, and I am incredibly grateful to be here in the hospital with my wife, Chris, by my side. An experience like this reminds you just how precious life is.

I just want to say thank you for your prayers and support. We were incredibly fortunate, and I’m thankful the pilot and I are both doing well. The experience was a reminder to never take a single day for granted. Thank you to the 911 dispatcher, the Wausau Fire Department crew who rescued us from the water, EMS, law enforcement, and everyone at Aspirus Wausau Hospital. Our first responders represent the best of Wisconsin. I’m grateful to be home with my family, and I’m ready to get back to work for you. God is good.

A privilege to meet racing legend Roger Penske at the Milwaukee Mile. Racing is a big part of Wisconsin culture. Whether on small-town tracks, at Road America, or on the oval at State Fair Park, I will promote this great Wisconsin tradition.
