Mom of 3. Fought to keep 1,600 farmers on their land. Running for WI Governor to fight Trump’s corruption and build an economy that works for you! MissyForGovernor.com
Today I am suspending my campaign for Governor and proudly endorsing Lieutenant Governor @SaraForWI.com. Read my full statement.
Happy Juneteenth Wisconsin! Today we celebrate the end of slavery in the United States 161 years ago, and the tireless work of so many Black Americans to fight for freedom and equality for all.
Wisconsin voters need to choose the candidate who will beat Tom Tiffany in November. I have the statewide experience of helping communities, businesses, and our neighbors. I have done this work for years and years; I am the candidate who will beat Tom Tiffany. #MissyForWI #WIGOV
Thank you to the hundreds of folks who braved the weather tonight to join the Democratic Party of Dane County gubernatorial forum! On August 11th we must put forward a nominee who can win in November and move Wisconsin forward.
Several of Wisconsin’s rural hospitals are losing services or at risk of closing. On day one as Governor, I will make direct investments in our rural healthcare infrastructure to recruit and retain specialists in underserved communities. #MissyForWI #UnlockWisconsin #RuralWI
Wonderful to spend the evening with Wisconsin Conservation Voters, I met with so many passionate environmental activists, and shared my vision for protecting Wisconsin's environment for future generations. #MissyForWI #WIGOV #Wisconsin
When I led Wisconsin’s economic development, I cleaned up Trump and Scott Walker’s Foxconn mess. Then while navigating a global pandemic, I made Wisconsin number one in the nation for supporting small business and economic development. #MissyForWI #WIGOV #WisDems
This weekend in Madison I laid out my vision for the future of Wisconsin. One where you're paid what you deserve. Where every family can afford a roof over their heads. And every child has the education they need to succeed. Together we can move Wisconsin forward.
Wisconsin Democrats (@WisDems.org) are fired up and ready to win a trifecta this November! Together we will strengthen our schools, fix our broken healthcare system, and invest in communities across our state. #MissyForWI #UnlockWisconsin #WisDems
Great to sit down with A.J. Bayatpour this morning to talk about my plans to fully fund our public schools and ensure every child in Wisconsin has the support they need to thrive.
Young adults - our kids - are unsure when or if they’ll have kids of their own because of how expensive it is to raise a family. I’m running for Governor so our Wisconsin families can continue on for many generations to come. #MissyForWI #Wisconsin #WisconsinChildcare
“The people of Wisconsin are desperate to see a functioning government,” Hughes said. “To see the opportunity to have a bipartisan bill fail in a very partisan way, that’s where I think a lot of Wisconsinites are just shaking their heads and saying, ‘Why can’t we get anything done in this state?’”
Gov candidate Missy Hughes stands alone in support of failed surplus deal
The fast-moving bill imploded just days after it was announced when all 15 Democrats and three Republicans in the state Senate rejected the $1.8 billion proposal.

Enough with Trump’s corruption already. As Governor, I will stop any Wisconsin dollars from flowing into his corrupt network and empower local prosecutors to pursue any of Trump’s footholds of corruption in our state. #MissyForWI #Wisconsin
From farms for dairy breakfasts, to town halls for forums - on this campaign I’m going everywhere and talking with everyone, to share my vision for building a better future for Wisconsin families. #MissyForWI
Donald Trump has devastated Wisconsin’s farmers with reckless tariffs and a war of choice in Iran that has sent diesel prices skyrocketing. I’m proud to be in Eau Claire today to join hundreds of Wisconsinites exposing his attacks on our farmers.
Trump and Tom Tiffany’s illegal tariff taxes have cost Wisconsin families over $2,200 each year. As Governor, I’ll claw back the billions of dollars owed to Wisconsinites. #MissyForWI
Employers that look long-term think about how to take care of their employees as they grow their family or unexpectedly lose a loved one. As a state, we need to have the backs of our Wisconsin workers so they can experience these moments in life without worrying if they’ll lose their job.
Our state motto is Forward. Wisconsinites deserve a leader focused on results, not those playing political games - that’s why I’m running for Governor. Read my guest column in the @CapTimes.com about what the failed surplus deal showed us:
Opinion | Self-serving politicians undercut surplus spending deal
Wisconsinites want tax relief and money for struggling schools, but when the opportunity to provide those things arose lawmakers chose inaction.

Trump, Tom Tiffany, and RFK have slashed our healthcare to pay for tax breaks for their wealthy allies; as Governor, I will keep Wisconsinites safe from these attacks. I will also confront RFK’s anti-scientific attacks on our public health, ensuring that WI families are able to access vaccines.
It was the honor of my life to spend 17 years working to keep 1,600 dairy farmers on their land during my time at Organic Valley. Our dairy industry is the foundation of communities across Wisconsin. As Governor I’ll fight for our dairy farmers every day. #NationalDairyMonth
Happy Pride Wisconsin! As Governor I'll fight to ensure that every Wisconsinite, no matter who they love or how they identify, is free to live their lives without fear or discrimination.

Thanks to the hundreds of volunteers and thousands of Wisconsinites, today I'm submitting your signatures to get on the ballot! I’m running for Governor to move Wisconsin forward and deliver real results for Wisconsin families. I’m asking for your vote on August 11th! #MissyForWI #Wisconsin
As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to an end, the need for access to resources in Wisconsin will continue. Wisconsinites deserve affordable and timely ways to receive mental healthcare services when they need it. My healthcare plan to Unlock Wisconsin: www.missyforgovernor.com/news-press/m...
When I led Organic Valley, I fought to keep 1,600 farmers on their land. We did it in a way that protected the environment while providing nutritious products to families.
On this day, 178 years ago, Wisconsin became the 30th U.S. state. I’m running for Governor to get things done for Wisconsinites and to move Wisconsin forward. #MissyForWI
Looking forward to discussing topics important to Wisconsin Workers next week Tuesday in Madison! More info about this forum: opeiu39.org/events/wi-wo...
ICE has been weaponized by Trump against Wisconsin and other states. As Governor, I will protect Wisconsin families from Trump’s unlawful overreach and make sure no state dollars are used to support his illegal actions. #MissyForWI
As Governor, I will get things done. I have the receipts for my impact in all 72 Wisconsin counties. I can point to farmers who are still on their farms because of the work that I’ve done. I'm ready to continue moving Wisconsin forward. #MissyForWI #WIGOV #Wisconsin
