Evers dedicated his life to education, working as a classroom teacher before serving as a principal, school district superintendent, Cooperative Education Service Agency (CESA) administrator, and deputy state superintendent. In 2009, Gov. Evers was elected as state superintendent and was re-elected in 2013 and 2017. He positioned himself as a consensus builder and focused his first Gubernatorial campaign on increasing funding for public education, investing in public infrastructure, and lowering healthcare costs.

During his tenure in elected office, Lt. Gov. Barnes has fought for gun violence prevention, promoted innovation, worked to increase health equity, and advocated for criminal justice reform. As a Senator, Lt. Gov. Barnes would build on these progressive ideals and fight to ensure that every American is given a fair shot. He will prioritize tax cuts for the middle class, reducing inflation, supporting Wisconsin small businesses, and strengthening unions. He has been a proud advocate for Democratic values in Wisconsin and we are proud to endorse him.
