Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers launches his bid for a second term in the battleground state where he stands as a Democratic check on the Republican-controlled state Legislature.

Evers made it official Saturday, June 5, 2021, announcing his bid for a second term in the battleground state where he stands as a Democratic block to the Republican-controlled state Legislature.
The first three and a half years of Evers' term have been marked by clashes with the GOP-led Legislature and his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Republicans brought successful lawsuits accusing Evers of overstepping his authority with closures, capacity limits and mask orders meant to slow the spread of the virus.
“Evers has nothing to campaign on except a record of incompetence, absent leadership and four years of zero accomplishment," she said. Republicans fought with Evers before he even took office, calling a lame duck session three weeks before his term began to weaken his power.
