 Pair announce the “Forward, Together” fall legislative agenda at the Brown County Courthouse on Monday.
GREEN BAY – Representative Staush Gruszynski (D-Green Bay) joined Assembly Minority Leader Rep. Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh) at the Brown County Courthouse on Monday to announce the Democrats’ “Forward, Together” fall legislative agenda.
 “The people of Wisconsin sent us to Madison to address the pressing issues facing our state,” Gruszynski said. “At a time when thousands of citizens can’t trust the safety of the water at their taps, when quality health care is out of reach for far too many of our neighbors, and when working families are struggling to get by, the legislature should be working overtime – not limiting our committee work and session days to a bare minimum. Thankfully, we still have time to take the bold actions that the people have asked for.”
Gruszynski and Hintz highlighted several policies that Democrats will continue to advocate for as the 2019-2020 legislative session continues including:
- Passing strong water quality legislation to ensure that every Wisconsin resident, urban and rural, has access to clean, safe drinking water in their home.
- Expanding Medicaid to provide thousands of citizens with quality health care while freeing up state resources for reinvestment in mental health, opioid treatment, and women’s health care.
- Enhancing financial security for workers by enacting a living wage, expanding options for retirement savings, and ensuring that women receive equal pay for equal work.

 WASHINGTON, D.C. - Republicans are hunting for a boogeyman in the burgeoning impeachment fight as the party struggles to unify behind a single strategy.
Facing growing headaches, Republicans are eager to shift the public’s focus toward politically safer territory — ranging from former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) to a “rigged” impeachment process.

"Listen, are you ready? We have the president of Finland, ask him a question," Trump shot back to Reuters White House correspondent Jeff Mason. "Did you hear me? Ask him a question."

 Assembly at State Street Entrance of the State Capitol addresses the hardships local farmers face due to the Trump administration’s agriculture policies.
MADISON, WI - Today at 10:30 AM CT, on the same day as Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue’s visit to the Wisconsin Dairy Expo, Wisconsin Farmers Union President Darin Von Ruden and Democratic Party of Wisconsin Rural Caucus Chair Nate Timm will hold a press conference highlighting the hardships local farmers face due to the administration’s agriculture policies. Von Ruden is a third generation dairy farmer and Timm is part of a 109 year old family farm that has focused on both dairy and grain production.
When he was running for President, Donald Trump swore to farmers up and down that he had their backs and would make their lives better. But his rhetoric has turned out to be nothing more than a laundry list of broken promises. Markets are not getting bigger and better they are deteriorating; commodity prices and therefore farmers’ profits aren’t soaring they’re plummeting; and multiple dairy farms are going out of business on a daily basis.
WHAT: A press conference highlighting the hardships local farmers are facing due to the Trump administration’s agriculture policies.
WHO: Darin Von Ruden, President of Wisconsin Farmers Union and third generation dairy farmer Nate Timm, Rural Caucus Chair for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and member of a 109 family farm
WHEN: TUESDAY, October 1, 10:30 AM CT
WHERE: State Street Entrance of the State Capitol |
