.#Wisconsin story. Tony Evers sworn in as 46th Governor of Wisconsin.
Evers, the former state superintendent of schools, get a big hand for pledging to fully fund public education. Mentions several other priorities before sound system cuts out briefly.
Prolonged applause as Evers promises to take gun violence and global warming seriously. This has been in doubt in Wisconsin recently.
“May we be willing to do what’s best for the next generation, not just the next election,” says @GovEvers
A couple of threads from journalists covering the @GovEvers inauguration. First @jessieopie has quotes from Wisconsin legislators outlining some areas of contention (there will be many of these).
Some more legislator quotes from @msommerhauser. Those who wish to may note the tension between Republican Assembly Speaker Vos’s declaration that he won’t let government expand at the expense of our freedom with his demand that Democrats not call him & his associate hateful.
Closing out this @GovEvers inaugural thread with a nice picture from @SenRisser — Wisconsin State Senator from Madison, age 91 — with newly elected Assembly member @KalanHaywoodWI, age 19.
