Faith, family, community. Paul Farrow dedicated his life to all three. He was never shy about sending an early morning text, making a late night phone call, or dropping into the Capitol for a surprise visit to advocate for Waukesha County. He fought so hard because he cared so much. To Amy and his family, to his many friends in the legislature, to those who knew him, and to all of us who live in Waukesha County, his impact will live on long, long after today. Rest in Peace, my friend.

On July 4th, 1776, a group of ordinary men crafted an extraordinary document. They declared that our rights come not from government, but from God. That every person is born free and equal. That no king, no government, no power on earth can take that away. These men didn’t always live up to their ideals, but what makes America special isn’t that we’re perfect. It’s that we’re constantly striving to become a more perfect union.

As America nears its 250th birthday, I authored a column on why I feel our best days are still ahead. Link in comments.

Juneteenth marks the day freedom finally reached those from whom it had been kept the longest. My party, the Republican party, was born in that same fight; founded by abolitionists who believed equal opportunity was the fulfillment of this nation’s promise.

Late May and early June mean field trip season at the Capitol! It’s always a pleasure to welcome students, parents, and teachers from across our district to Madison. I really enjoy answering questions and explaining how government operates.

After the parades pass, the moments of silence end, and the ceremonies have drawn to a close, may we remember that the blessings of American life were purchased at extraordinary cost; a cost paid by generations of American soldiers. It is they who give Memorial Day its meaning.

Democrat buzzwords come and go, but Mom is forever. Happy Mother’s Day!

Democrats would have you believe that cuts to fish stocking programs are a result of budget cuts. Since 2021, funding for the DNR has increased by more than $134 million. This isn’t a funding problem; it’s an administrative problem.

I really enjoyed welcoming the students from Section Elementary to the Capitol and getting the chance to give them a tour of the Senate chambers. @MASDSCHOOLS

For 40 years, smog from Illinois has forced SE WI drivers into emissions testing. Yesterday, I was proud to stand with @RepBryanSteil, @RepGrothman, & @RepTiffany as they introduced their bill to bring commonsense change. Watch ⬇️

China, Russia, and Iran want us dead. Republicans passed a bill to stop WI from doing business with companies tied to our enemies. Once again, Democrats opposed it and Tony Evers vetoed it quietly on Good Friday.

Evers and the Democrats weren’t done with their assault on law enforcement. In vetoing AB 750, Tony Evers picked bureaucratic policies over police. This bill would have helped train more firefighters, EMTs, and police.

When law enforcement asked for tools to protect our communities, Democrats said no. They don’t stand for law enforcement; they just stand in the way. That’s why many legislative Democrats voted against AB 629 and Tony Evers vetoed it.

Did you put in overtime or work for tips last year? Upset about how much you’re paying in taxes? Call Governor Evers and thank him: 608-266-1212.

Raise your hand if you think everyone should vote today! Polls are open until 8 P.M.

Wisconsin farmers feed the world. Today, on National Ag Day, we celebrate all the work they do!

Four Mukwonago firefighters saved two lives after a harrowing ice rescue on Rainbow Springs Lake. Thanks to their courage, two families were spared unimaginable loss. Honored to recognize them with the Forward28 Award. Check out the full story at @CBS58 - link in the comments.
