MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers tonight released the following statement regarding Wisconsin’s election results
“By many accounts, Wisconsin felt the weight of America—and, frankly, the world—on its shoulders in this election. And Wisconsinites across our state showed up for this moment in record numbers to exercise the fundamental American right to cast their ballot in a fair, safe, and secure election. I want to thank our exceptional clerks, election administrators, and poll workers who helped ensure we could.
“In our state’s history, we have perhaps never witnessed an election as significant, contentious, and divisive—or more expensive. But Wisconsinites proved we will not be bought—not by the richest or most powerful people in the world or anyone else. That matters.
“This election was about the resilience of the Wisconsin and American values that define and unite us. This election was about doing what’s best for our kids, protecting constitutional checks and balances, reaffirming our faith in the courts and the judiciary, and defending against attacks on the basic rights, freedoms, and institutions we hold dear.
“But above all, this election was as much about who Wisconsinites believe we can be as it was about the country we believe we must be.
“For anyone who mistakenly believes actions and decisions in Washington are neither seen nor heard here in Wisconsin or states across our country, the people of Wisconsin responded tonight.
“With renewed hope, faith, and purpose, our work to protect and defend these values continues in earnest tomorrow.
“Forward, and for Wisconsin, always.”
