According to A Better Wisconsin Together Communications Director Lucy Ripp, these recent visits have drawn an ever sharper contrast between the progressive agenda of lifting up working families and expanding our rights and freedoms, and the extreme right-wing Project 2025 agenda that caters to the wealthy few and wants to restrict basic freedoms like voting and reproductive healthcare.
