The Wisconsin State Fair and Wisconsin tourism go hand-in-hand!
Wisconsin tourism is one of the top economic drivers in our State and is responsible for:
- A $23.7 billion impact to our economy,
- Providing over 174,000 full and part time jobs,
- Attracting over over 110 million visits to Wisconsin.
Our budget provided a one-time boost of $20 million in marketing funds, along with a bump in base marketing funding of $1 million annually – a 7.5% increase.
- These funds help Wisconsin compete with our neighboring states at attracting visitors.
- We provided $10 million for an Opportunity Attraction and Promotion Fund to attract major events to our state and to draw more visitors to Wisconsin.
- The Republican-authored budget also matched federal funding for the Wisconsin Arts Board through Sept 2025.
Office of Outdoor Recreation
- Helps create a network of Wisconsin recreational businesses.
- Draws visitors to Wisconsin’s outdoor opportunities.
State Parks
- $20 million in upgrades.
- Maintenance and development projects, campsite electrification, and amenities.

In District
In July, Don Snyder, Vice President and General Manager of Lamar Outdoor Advertising provided a tour of their local facilities. We were able to discuss challenges facing the outdoor advertising industry.
I had the opportunity to learn about the barriers to employment for those with disabilities at an event at Aspiro in Green Bay. Archer, shared his research, as well as his experiences of navigating college and employment counseling.
Trinity House is a beautiful facility which will serve the community by supporting new mothers who lack housing. These mothers will be offered support and education as they transition to independence.
