As session wraps up so does my time at WRTV. My last day is March 16th. I have accepted a position with @CBS58 in Milwaukee as their Capitol corespondent. Thank you to everyone in Indy for trusting me these last 4 years. It’s been my honor and privilege to cover this state.

On another note we had zero service at President Trumps event today. Well over 200 people ended up showing up after I posted my initial tweet. This video shows supporters standing in the rain to hear him speak.

Thank you for the shout out! Wisconsin has been so kind to me so far! Still have a lot to learn and these first two months have been busy! But I am learning and growing every day.

Around 200 folks are here to attend President Trumps round table “Fighting for American Farmers”. Folks in line told me they got tickets to the event. 200 is just an estimate there could be more.

I am in Chippewa County today where President Donald Trump is expected to hold a round table to discuss his Agricultural policies. Farmers, what questions do you have for the president? I don't know if I will get a question with him or not but I want to hear from you regardless.

Governor Evers sits down with the owner of Oscars Frozen Custard in Waukesha, where he is discussing some of the agricultural policies he has signed in to law. It comes 3 days before president Trump is set to come to Wisconsin to discuss his ag policies.

Protesters are outside of Ridglan Farms in Blue Mounds to urge the research facility to release the remaining 650 Dogs currently in the facilities possession. They don’t want these dogs to end up forgotten. @CBS58

Appreciate @CBS58's @MhacklerTV featuring my @BPC_Bipartisan colleague Emma Waters on the housing legislation before Congress, breaking down how streamlining federal environmental reviews could help expand housing supply and lower costs. cbs58.com/news/housing-affor…

Just got off a productive call with the USDA where I learned Ridglan Farms has been told to surrender their federal breeding license by July 1 or the USDA would take official action. They also gave us an official answer on how many dogs are left at Ridglan: 650. Even though Ridglan is losing their state (and potentially federal) licenses, it doesn't stop the on-site research they're conducting. I'll continue to work with the USDA and NIH to shut down the entire facility and find homes for the 650 remaining dogs!

Saying the left is unified in Wisconsin is an interesting statement, considering Democrats rejected a bipartisan plan endorsed by Governor Evers.
"You know what the left is really good at? Completely being unified." @SenRonJohnson calls for unity at the @WisGOP convention.

Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez, who's running for governor, declines to say if last night's surplus vote was a good or bad outcome, instead looking to November. "We know this is hard on Wisconsin families, but we know when we have majorities...we're gonna put in long-term solutions"
