The Senator made stops in Platteville, Argyle, Janesville, Sharon, Madison, Stevens Point, Wisconsin Rapids, Warrens, La Crosse, Stoddard and Viroqua.\n\n\u201cI have always said that I will show up everywhere, listen to everyone, and fight for Wisconsin \u2013 and that is just what I am doing. Across Wisconsin, I\u2019m hearing from families and businesses feeling the squeeze of rising costs. Whether it\u2019s our farmers getting hammered by the high cost of diesel and fertilizer, small businesses squeezed by tariffs, or families feeling the pinch everywhere they go \u2013 Wisconsinites are paying the price under the Trump administration,\u201d said Senator Baldwin. \u201cI\u2019m committed to addressing these challenges head on so more Wisconsinites cannot just get by, but get ahead. I\u2019m proud of my work to support our communities, families, and farmers \u2013 but I know we have more to do.\u201d\n\nSenator Baldwin started the week honoring Memorial Day at gatherings in Platteville and at the Argyle American Legion in Lafayette County.\n\nIn Wisconsin Rapids, Senator Baldwin visited the Wood County Head Start to learn how sudden funding freezes and uncertainty under the Trump Administration are impacting their ability to provide high-quality, affordable childcare to Wisconsin families. Senator Baldwin also toured the Viroqua Fire Department, where she delivered $5.25 million for design and construction of a new fire station to serve the City of Viroqua, as well as the Townships of Viroqua, Franklin, and Jefferson. Senator Baldwin also visited with St. Mary\u2019s nurses in Madison in support of their fight for fair pay and safe working conditions.\n\nThis week, Senator Baldwin made several stops on Wisconsin farms to talk about how Donald Trump\u2019s trade war and war of choice in Iran is jacking up the cost of fuel and fertilizer and cutting into farmers\u2019 bottom lines. On Tuesday, Senator Baldwin visited Rebout Farms in Janesville, Wisconsin, which raises 4,200 acres of corn, soybeans and wheat in Rock County, and Frontier Farms in Sharon, Wisconsin, which specializes in soybeans, corn, and winter wheat. Later in the week, Senator Baldwin visited Hamburg Hills Farm in Stoddard to talk about how rising costs are impacting their organic dairy operation. She also toured Wetherby Cranberry Company in Warrens to discuss the high cost of fuel and fertilizer and talk about how to address these challenges in the upcoming Farm Bill.\n\nIn Stevens Point, Senator Baldwin also toured the Wisconsin Institute for Sustainable Technology at UW-Stevens Point to learn how funding she supported through the U.S. Economic Development Association is being used to partner with Wisconsin\u2019s paper and forest industry to help businesses and organizations meet their goals in ways that make more sustainable use of natural resources. She also stopped by several store fronts on Stevens Point Main Street to chat with local business owners about the challenges they are facing with rising costs under President Trump.\n\n###", 1, "2026-05-30T06:11:53Z", "2026-05-30T06:13:24Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.baldwin.senate.gov/news/press-releases/icymi-baldwin-wraps-up-week-highlighting-support-for-wisconsin-farmers-emergency-responders-and-lowering-costs-for-families"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4279317110776901, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
