[Madison, WI] – Across Wisconsin, families are hurting from Democrat-fueled inflation at the pump. As the state average hits $4.80 a gallon, prices in communities like Milwaukee and Kenosha have already topped $5 per gallon following a year of massive spending and anti-energy policies under Joe Biden.
Meanwhile, without Wisconsin Republicans, gas prices would be even higher had Tony Evers gotten his way and raised the gas tax. Wisconsinites need leaders who will take real steps to lower prices – not ask taxpayers to fund even more bloated government spending.
