Current Secretary of State and Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Sarah Godlowski met with farmers in Cadot on Thursday.
The visit aimed to highlight plans to expand access to healthcare and address the affordability crisis facing farmers and manufacturers if she and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley emerge victorious in the November election.
Following a roundtable discussion, Godluski shared her thoughts on the economic struggles farmers across the state have faced over the last couple of years.
Yeah, I mean, my big takeaway is today from Les, who has been a multi-generational farmer here in Western Wisconsin, is that he's really frustrated.
You know, he's working nights, weekends, every day of the week.

Tariff policy is controlled at the federal level, leaving state officials with limited power to relieve some of those struggles.
Godlowski did, however, share some state-level options that could help reduce some of that additional strain on the agricultural industry in other ways.
I think the big thing is we know if Donald Trump and Tom Tiffany are stopping our farmers from exporting into markets that we know are really important like Canada being our number one partner we have to figure out then how can we make things more readily available here and so we talked about everything from opening up other markets to the work we can do with infrastructure or even like a soybean crusher because that can turn it into materials that then can be also used but that's going to require state investment and I will
you, that's something that David and I are committed to doing and making sure we help our farmers succeed.
Crowley and Godluski will face off with Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany and David Varnum to be the next governor and lieutenant governor of Wisconsin in the November election.
