- Hi, I'm Governor Tony Evers,
and I am running for reelection as Wisconsin's governor.
I'm so honored to have served as Wisconsin's governor
over the past three years,
and I plan to win reelection this fall
and keep doing the right thing for our kids, our families,
and our economy.
I have a strong record of getting things done
for Wisconsin.
I cut income taxes for the middle class by 15%.
I plan to cut taxes by another 10%, lowering costs
and making sure Wisconsinites
have more money in their pockets.
In 2018, I ran on the promise of fixing the roads,
and I kept that promise.
So far, we've fixed nearly 5,000 miles of highway
and 1,500 bridges.
That's enough road to drive from here to Miami and back.
I expanded affordable internet access
to 387,000 homes and businesses,
and I'm going to expand access to another 300,000 homes
in the next four years.
There is still more work to do.
In my second term, I'm going to continue to repair our roads
and our infrastructure.
We've built back our main streets
by helping over 6,200 small businesses
open or expand into empty storefronts.
And I'm committed to doing even more
to support our small businesses and our family farms.
I've worked with both parties to fund our public schools,
technical colleges, and the University of Wisconsin system,
more than we have in decades because as a former educator,
I believe what's best for our kids is best for our state.
But we're not done yet.
I'm going to continue to create opportunities for all our kids
by investing in more special education,
financial literacy, mental health,
and smaller class sizes.
Today, Wisconsin is stronger and better than it was
when I first took office.
We have a record budget surplus,
the largest rainy day fund in state's history,
and unemployment is at the lowest point ever.
But we can do even more for the state, and I know we will.
You have my promise to always do the right thing for our state.
Thank you so much.
