Bipartisan resolution to prevent teen dating violence and further educate our children regarding healthy boundaries and relationships.
MADISON- Tuesday, the Wisconsin State Senate unanimously passed Senate Joint Resolution 5 (SJR 5), authored by Senator Melissa Agard (D-Madison), recognizing February as Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. Senator Agard released this statement regarding the passage of the resolution:
“As lawmakers, we cannot ignore the harrowing statistics about teen dating violence in Wisconsin. I am extremely proud to have introduced this bipartisan resolution, and to see this important topic at the forefront of the public debate. We must create awareness about, and find solutions to prevent this pervasive issue.
“Dating violence is an unfortunate and preventable reality. It is an issue that far too many parents, educators, and communities are unaware of. Recognizing February as Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month is a first step in helping young people stand up for one another, choose better relationships, understand that healthy relationships are based on respect, and learn to identify the early warning signs of an abusive relationship.
“Recognition and awareness are just one step - we need to continue pushing forward to prevent teen dating violence and further educate our children regarding healthy boundaries and relationships. I look forward to introducing further bipartisan legislation this session that works to prevent dating violence from harming our youth.” |

Budget prioritizes continued economic recovery, funding for public education, access to affordable healthcare, and a commitment to equity across Wisconsin
MADISON – This evening, Governor Tony Evers gave his second budget address, sharing his fiscal priorities to continue Wisconsin’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and describing how these choices will lay the foundation to increased prosperity and community as we move forward. Assembly Democratic Leader Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh) released the following statement on the Governor’s address and the biennial budget proposal:
“The 2021-23 state budget must address the reality of operating in the COVID-19 pandemic and make the crucial investments in programs that move the state forward. Tonight, Governor Evers introduced a budget that prioritizes the needs of hard-working Wisconsinites and continues to help Wisconsin’s families and small businesses bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic. This budget shows what is possible if we truly prioritize Wisconsin people and Wisconsin communities.
“Governor Evers articulated a progressive plan to invest in Wisconsin’s public schools, increase access to affordable health care, spur economic development in every part of our state, and ensure our local government partners have the resources to respond to important needs close to home. He proposed steps to increase Wisconsin’s sustainability, continue our commitment to preserving Wisconsin’s natural resources, invest in our agricultural economy, and ensure access to high-speed internet in all parts of the state.
“I look forward to an engaging budget dialogue with my colleagues in the coming months, and I urge them to come to this process with an open mind. Let’s listen to our constituents, set aside partisan games, and pass a budget that puts the people of Wisconsin first.” |
