Gov. Tony Evers on Monday released the following statement regarding Wisconsin joining a new multistate lawsuit to stop the Trump Administration from cutting funding for life-saving medical research:
“To think that the Trump Administration wants to gut funding to help find cures and treatments for things like cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes — it’s unconscionable. The University of Wisconsin system is a national and global leader in helping solve real problems for people here in Wisconsin and the world over, and ensuring UW system’s success is a critical part of ensuring Wisconsin’s future economic success. The Trump Administration’s reckless federal funding cuts will be devastating for Wisconsin and a setback for millions of people who hope and pray every day for a cure or treatments that might save their life or the life of someone they love.”
