Representative Jessie Rodriguez

Today we commemorate the 82nd anniversary of D-Day and remember the brave Allied forces who risked everything on the beaches of Normandy in the fight for freedom.

June is National Dairy Month, and today is National Cheese Day. Wisconsin produces over 3.5 billion pounds of cheese each year, accounting for 1 out of every 4 pounds of cheese produced in the U.S.! Thank you, Wisconsin dairy farmers and cheesemakers!🧀

Today marks 178 years of Wisconsin Statehood. Happy Birthday, Wisconsin!

Thank you to everyone who attended the Memorial Day ceremony at Forest Hill Memorial Park and VFW Post 8482 for organizing the event.

Today we pause to honor the courageous men and women who heroically gave their lives in service to our country. We must always remember that our freedom comes at a cost. May their sacrifice never be forgotten.

This week is National EMS Week! Thank you to the dedicated EMTs and paramedics across the 21st Assembly District who answer the call every day with compassion, professionalism, and courage.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Breaking the stigma around mental health can save lives, so talk about it! If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis, the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 for free to people of all ages.

Happy Armed Forces Day and Military Appreciation Month to everyone serving in our Armed Forces!

Today, as part of National Police Week, we honor the brave men and women in law enforcement who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Our thoughts are with their families and colleagues today 💙.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, the Senate failed to concur with us on our plan to return $1.8 billion of the surplus to Wisconsin taxpayers.

Across the country, families are feeling the strain of rising costs. The Assembly and Governor Tony Evers wanted to do our part by using $1.8 billion from the state surplus to help families manage rising costs, reward hard work, and continue investing in special education. Instead, that money will remain in the state’s coffers. It’s disappointing that this surplus will not be returned to you, the taxpayers who overpaid.
