Fresh off our big state supreme court victory we turn our attention to the 2026 midterms. On June 28, sign up for our Day of Action to go out and have conversations with voters and find out what is on their minds. We will be talking to Democrats who sat out the November election as well as voters for whom we have not party affiliation data. This is the necessary groundwork to win in 2026. Sign up here. Shifts are 9, noon and 3.

We also need your help to recruit volunteers for the action above and other volunteer opportunities as well as send out invitations for upcoming events. We’ll be using the REACH app for our textbanks on Wed. June 11 as well as Tuesday, June 17 and Tuesday, June 24. Join us at the office from 6 to 8 p.m. those nights by signing up here.

Unless they have to be in Madison for votes, Rep. Lee Snodgrass and Senator Kristin Dassler-Alfheim will be on hand at our June monthly meeting to discuss the upcoming state budget fight and to answer your questions. There is nothing more critical when it comes to our state government than the biennial budget and our two Appleton representatives have been fighting the tough fight against Republicans trying to undermine Gov. Evers’ plans to help the state.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the county party office. Here is the signup link to attend and the Google Meet link if you want to attend virtually. There is an ice cream social from 5:30 to 6:30. Here are the May Meeting minutes.

We’d love to see you before the June 9 monthly meeting for an ice cream social. It will run from 5:30 to 6:30 with the meeting beginning at 7. There is a $5 suggested donation.

We also really need you to step up if you can and contribute items for this event. Click on this easy signup genius link and list the items you are able to bring! See you then.

Governor Evers and Republican leaders have been meeting to discuss compromises over the state biennial budget, which is the most impactful legislation that will be signed into law.  Contact Governor Evers and tell him to be tough.  Republicans have passed austerity budgets for the past 16 years and enough is enough.

Last month, the Republicans on the Joint Finance Committee eliminated many of Governor Evers’ proposals dealing with healthcare, public education, childcare, and much more. A summary of the cuts is available in Governor Evers’ press release.

There is still time for you to contact your state senator and representative about the budget bill.
