This morning, I joined our community at Veterans Plaza in West Bend to mark 25 years since September 11, 2001. We remember the lives lost, honor the heroes who answered the call, and reflect on the unity our nation showed in the days that followed. 25 years later, never forget!

As we head into Labor Day weekend, I want to thank the hardworking men and women who keep Wisconsin and America moving forward. There is dignity in a hard day’s work, and I’m grateful for everyone who works hard and strengthens their community. Have a safe and happy Labor Day!

Honored to receive the 2026 Working for Wisconsin Award from Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce with a 100% WMC Roll Call score. I’m proud to have supported tax cuts, good-paying jobs, and a stronger Wisconsin economy throughout this session.

Country music lost one of its greatest voices with the passing of Dolly Parton. Her generosity and music will live on for generations! May she rest in peace.

Wisconsin makes some pretty cool things! Nominations are open for the 2026 Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin contest. I’d love to see some of our great local manufacturers and products in the running! Nominations are open through September 11: MadeInWis.com

Happy Independence Day! As we celebrate 250 years of American freedom, liberty, and opportunity, we honor the generations of patriots who built the greatest nation on Earth. May we proudly carry their legacy forward and do our part to keep America strong.

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth. On this day, we commemorate the end of slavery in our country—a day that reminds us of our country's continual journey toward liberty, justice, and freedom.

Today, on Flag Day, we honor the Stars and Stripes as a symbol of freedom and opportunity. We must always remember those who have served and sacrificed to protect the liberties our flag represents.

82 years ago, brave Americans stormed the beaches of Normandy and helped save the world from tyranny. Today, we honor their courage, remember their sacrifice, and pray for those who gave everything for freedom.

Today marks the beginning of Dairy Month in Wisconsin. Each June, we take the time to recognize and honor the hardworking dairy farmers who help feed our communities. The dairy industry serves as the backbone of our economy. Thank you to all of our farmers for all that you do!

I joined fellow Wisconsin lawmakers in pushing back against utility monopoly protections that could drive up energy costs for families and businesses. We urged FERC to protect competition because competition lowers costs and puts ratepayers first!
