Dear friend,
Happy belated Earth Day! Wisconsin has always been a national leader in conserving and protecting our natural resources. As a long-time farmer and landowner in the Baraboo area, I am proud to represent one of the most beautiful and environmentally rich areas in our state. I look forward to continue working with you to protect the landmarks, waterways, plants, and animals that provide invaluable health and economic benefits to so many Wisconsin families.
Sincerely,
Rep. Dave Considine 81st Assembly District

ADRC Listening Session - Thank You! I want to sincerely thank all those who were able to attend my listening session on ADRCs and long-term care in the state budget on Monday, April 20th. We had a very productive conversation, and your message was loud and clear: our state's ADRCs and long-term care resources like IRIS and Family Care are extremely valuable just the way they are. Sen. Erpenbach and I were glad to hear your views on this important part of the state budget. If you weren't able to come, please call my office or send me an email to let me know what you think: (608) 266-7746 or Rep.Considine@legis.wisconsin.gov.

Proud to stand with my Democratic colleagues on Tax Day, April 15th, to advocate for more responsible use of federal funds - including accepting the federal BadgerCare (Medicaid) money that is still available to Wisconsin.
