What Democrats Have Delivered

While Republicans wrote their record, Democrats built one too. Here is what Democratic leaders have actually delivered for Wisconsin families, and what they plan to do next. Every item below is sourced.

Wisconsin Democrats have governed from the minority in the Legislature, so this record is built on the Governor’s signatures and vetoes, federal votes, and the Attorney General’s work in court.

Gov. Tony Evers

Governor of Wisconsin

Signed the 12-month postpartum Medicaid extension into law (2026), a priority he championed for years, keeping about 16,000 Wisconsin moms a year covered for a full year after birth. (bipartisan)
Used his veto to lock in predictable per-pupil revenue increases for public schools, a move the Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld.
Scaled back a Republican income-tax cut tilted to top earners, protecting revenue for schools and health care.
Vetoed Republican bills restricting abortion access, including five in 2021.
Fought for major child-care funding and secured $110 million in direct support for providers in the state budget.

Why it mattersProtecting the health coverage, public schools, and reproductive care Outagamie families count on.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin

United States Senate

Voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, which caps insulin at $35 a month for Medicare and lets Medicare negotiate drug prices, a Democratic-only vote in the Senate.
Voted for the bipartisan infrastructure law that delivered $1.05 billion to expand high-speed internet across Wisconsin.
Helped pass the PACT Act, expanding health care for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. (bipartisan)

Why it mattersLower drug costs for seniors, internet access for rural families, and care for Wisconsin veterans.

AG Josh Kaul

Wisconsin Attorney General

Led the litigation (Kaul v. Urmanski) that restored legal abortion access in Wisconsin, won at the state Supreme Court in July 2025.
Helped secure more than $780 million in opioid settlements for Wisconsin, funding addiction treatment and prevention. (bipartisan, multistate)

Why it mattersReproductive freedom for Wisconsin families, and treatment dollars flowing to counties like Outagamie.

Outagamie’s delegation in Madison

Two Democrats carry Outagamie’s priorities in the state Legislature. Both serve in the minority, so their record is the fight they lead: the bills they author and the causes they push for the Fox Valley. With a Democratic majority, priorities like these could become law instead of proposals blocked by the majority.

Sen. Kristin Dassler-Alfheim

Wisconsin State Senate, District 18

In the state Senate, she has

Flipped Senate District 18 in 2024, giving the Fox Valley a Democratic voice in the state Senate.
Authored bills to protect reproductive freedom and to ban conversion therapy, and co-authored legislation to fund child care and grow the child-care workforce.
Vice-chairs the Special Committee on State-Tribal Relations and sits on the Senate committee on Insurance, Housing, Rural Issues, and Forestry.

RepresentsHer district takes in most of Appleton and southern Outagamie County. Her stated priorities are housing, health-care costs, and funding for local schools and municipalities.

Rep. Lee Snodgrass

Wisconsin State Assembly, District 52

In the state Assembly, she has

Represented Appleton (District 52) and served as a former chair of the Outagamie County Democrats.
Pushed legislation to sustainably fund child care, calling Child Care Counts “a lifeline for providers and families.”
Championed paid family and medical leave and serves on the Children and Families committee.

RepresentsDistrict 52 covers the heart of Appleton, the largest community in Outagamie County.

What Democrats plan to do

Democrats have delivered even from the minority. With a majority in the Legislature, the shared agenda our candidates are running on could become law, not just proposals. Here is what they are running on across Outagamie County.

Lower the cost of living

Bring down everyday costs for working families, from groceries to health care to housing.

Fully fund public schools

Fund our public schools and cap the cost of child care, instead of draining money to private-school vouchers.

Protect affordable health care

Defend and expand BadgerCare and affordable coverage, and keep bringing down prescription costs.

Defend reproductive freedom

Keep the decision with patients and their doctors, not politicians.

Back family farms and small business

A fair shot for the family farms, small businesses, and workers who power the Fox Valley economy.
