Today, Congressman Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin's 7th district issued a statement following the announcement of Governor Tony Evers' retirement. In his statement, Tiffany acknowledged Evers' years of service but criticized his tenure.
"I thank Governor Evers for his years of service and wish him well as he announces his retirement," said Tiffany. He went on to express concerns about the state's current situation, stating, "However, he leaves behind a legacy of decline—under the ‘education governor,’ student achievement has fallen behind Mississippi, Wisconsin faces a structural deficit, and energy costs now rank second highest in the Midwest. Wisconsinites deserve better. It’s time we change course before we end up like Minnesota and Illinois."
