MADISON, Wis. – Opportunity Wisconsin Program Director Meghan Roh released the following statement ahead of President Joe Biden’s visit to Wisconsin today:
“President Biden and Democrats in Congress continue to deliver for Wisconsin’s working families by lowering costs, supporting small businesses, and growing the middle class. Today, seniors are able to keep more money in their pockets thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act’s cap on insulin costs and prescription drug pricing reforms, new good-paying jobs are being created thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s investments, and 178,000 new business applications have been filed in Wisconsin since President Biden took office. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress, including Reps. Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden, continue threatening to undo this progress by removing popular initiatives like these. It’s time for members of Congress to work with their colleagues and President Biden to lower costs for families, create good-paying jobs, and help move Wisconsin forward.”
