"The Republican legislative majority can fight..."
One Wisconsin state senator says it’s time for Republicans at the state capitol to fight with everything they have.
Sen. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, told his fellow Republicans they cannot back down on the next state budget, the Right of First Refusal, or their principles during the final two months of the legislative session.
“The prosperity and freedoms of every citizen are in peril as Wisconsin’s extremist Democrats continue to grab power by any means necessary and face feeble consequences so far from the Republican Majority in the Legislature," Nass said.
Specifically, Nass warned Republicans against trusting Gov. Tony Evers in budget negotiations.
"Republican legislative leaders are spending time on bended knee seeking a bad budget deal with Governor Evers and Democrat votes for ROFR," he added. "This is not what the majority of voters that elected President Trump in Wisconsin want from the Republican Legislature."
Nass has opposed the Right of First Refusal in the past, and is one of its fiercest critics this time around as well.
But Republican leaders aren't the only one Nass has strong words for.
He called-out the liberal majority Supreme Court in his Friday message as well.
"The horrible liberal Supreme Court is in place for several years, but in November 2026 the extremists will try winning the governorship and the legislative majority by any means necessary, to turn Wisconsin into another Minnesota and Illinois," Nass explained. "The Republican legislative majority can fight and give the voters a clear reason for keeping us; or stay on the current path of business-as-usual and the Republican majority will die.”
“The Republican Legislature does have strong powers still at its disposal to fight back. The greatest of our powers is the Power of the Purse String. It is time to starve the liberal beasts of the taxpayers’ money, by either passing no biennial budget or passing a very small mini-budget,” Nass added.
