In a recent statement on the City of Milwaukee's official website, praise was lavished upon Governor Tony Evers for his dedication and service to the state of Wisconsin. Recognized for beginning his career as an educator, Governor Evers is esteemed for never losing sight of his roots in public service.
The commendation highlighted how Evers, during his tenure, demonstrated staunch support for marginalized communities in Milwaukee and beyond. Speaking to his prior commitments, Governor Evers was noted for including driver's licenses for undocumented residents and tuition equity for Wisconsin's dreamers in the state's budget—a promise he upheld in that budget, and consistently in subsequent ones. In the City of Milwaukee statement, he is acknowledged for his steadfastness where, in contrast, other leaders often wavered.
As an individual who worked closely with Governor Evers, the author of the statement expressed a personal sense of pride and gratitude in their connection with the governor, describing him as a friend. Evers' character was extolled for its warmth and kindness, attributes that have defined his approach to governance and leadership in Wisconsin. The gratefulness for Evers' valor and his inclusive support for all who call the state home was clear, with the statement reading, "Governor Evers, I am so proud and grateful to have called you our leader, our governor, and dare I say, my friend," as mentioned on the City of Milwaukee website.
