Six-figure ad buy on TV, digital and mail using funds raised during recall effort.
@GovEvers Response from @SenFitzgerald: "The Governor’s ad shamelessly exploits the COVID crisis to push a partisan political message. Using his own political campaign account to politicize the pandemic and baselessly attack Republicans is about as cynical as it gets."
@GovEvers @SenFitzgerald "As Governor of the State of Wisconsin, attempting to lay the responsibility for pandemic response at the feet of the legislature simply demonstrates Tony Evers’ poor leadership of an administration more focused on politics than on coming together for meaningful reform ..."

St. Croix County judge overseeing hearing in lawsuit to invalidate Wisconsin's statewide mask mandate asks whether the relief sought -- ending the health emergency -- is a violation of separation of powers because the Legislature holds the power to end the health emergency.
The lawsuit is filed in Polk County, but both judges in that country recused from the case.

.@GovEvers administration is asked why the virus situation in Wisconsin is worse than other states.

"This fundamentally stems from the ruling in mid May that restricted many of the tools that we have to mitigate this disease," Palm says.
@GovEvers Palm says Wisconsin has seen a "slow burn" that never reached a low enough level of infection to put the state in a better position now.
@GovEvers Evers says GOP legislative leaders' messaging on the pandemic has been inconsistent with the severity of the threat of the virus and has made it "damn hard" to get compliance.

"That sends a message of what we're trying to accomplish is baloney. It's not baloney," he says.
