AFP-WI State Director Megan Novak
"The Biden administration’s third visit to Wisconsin this month proves how crucial of a role the Badger State will play come 2024, but it will take a lot more than political stunts and stop over visits to win over Wisconsinites.
"Our communities are worse-off and our families are struggling to make ends meet. While Jill Biden touts her husband’s failed economic agenda today in Madison, Wisconsinites know that we deserve better than Bidenomics.
"AFP-WI is showing people that expanding opportunity and promoting prosperity is the answer to a brighter future. We don’t need any more of the reckless spending and regulatory burdens coming out of Madison or Washington. We need to move past the status quo and advance policies that allow every individual to live out the American dream."
