MADISON – Today, Senate Republicans overrode 9 of Governor Evers’ vetoes. These overrides still must move on to the State Assembly. Senator Agard (D-Madison) released the following statement:

“After 13 years of legislative control, Republicans clearly sense that their days of holding a gerrymandered majority are coming to an end. They had 13 years to take action on policies the people of Wisconsin are asking us to pass – policies like paid family leave, cannabis legalization, abortion access, Medicaid expansion, and addressing the child care crisis. Instead, Republicans continue playing politics as new, fair maps are put into place in the upcoming election.
