WISCONSIN: Last week, we hit 4.5 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine—thanks to Governor Evers’ leadership! Help us thank him by sending a thank-you note. We’ll hand-deliver them!

Ever since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has had to face down a GOP-run, anti-science legislature that refused to keep Wisconsin safe. In 2020, the GOP attacked Gov Evers’ emergency powers and stay-home order.

In February of this year, determined to undermine the governor, Wisconsin Republicans voted to throw out the state’s mask mandate. When Evers reinstated it, the conservative-majority Wisconsin Supreme Court struck it down.

Meanwhile, Ron Johnson has taken to right-wing radio to oppose the “big push” to vaccinate everyone. GOP speaker Robin Vos changed his profile photo to a sarcastic “I have an immune system” photo—& then defended it.

But through it all, Governor Evers has stayed focused on what really matters: the health and well-being of Wisconsinites. Under his leadership, the Badger State brilliantly built out a statewide network of local vax delivery locations.

In April, the Washington Post profiled Gov Evers’ former Health chief—whom Republicans refused to confirm as Secretary. She’s now been appointed by President Biden to a national leadership position, as our state’s record of success continues.

As the Washington Post wrote: “Wisconsin is among the states leading the immunization race. It maintains one of the fastest rates of vaccination, having administered 90 percent of doses delivered as of Saturday.”

And lastly, once again… sign a thank-you note to Governor Evers (our goal is to get to 600)! It’s unpleasant to think about where we’d be if Scott Walker had won in 2018. Instead, we’ve got a governor who cares about all of us. Thank you, @GovEvers!
