Wisconsin Governor Evers Tours State for Final Ice Cream Town Halls

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers is conducting a statewide "Ice Cream Town Hall" tour during National Ice Cream Month to engage with local communities and discuss the 2025-2027 state budget and key issues such as education, mental health, affordable housing, and renewable energy transition. Evers, who announced he will not seek a third term after 50 years of public service, emphasized his desire to spend more time with family while continuing to focus on bipartisan achievements and hearing constituent concerns. Local leaders from cities like Manitowoc and La Crosse praised the governor's administration for support on initiatives including special education funding, eliminating electric taxes, marine conservation, and economic development tied to tourism and the arts. The tour has included stops at ice cream parlors in Milwaukee, La Crosse, Manitowoc, and Stevens Point, where Evers held town hall discussions with residents and community groups. While he typically refrains from endorsing candidates during primaries, Evers left open the possibility of making an endorsement in the upcoming governor’s race. The tour highlights both the cultural significance of ice cream in Wisconsin and the governor’s commitment to addressing statewide priorities in the final months of his administration.
