MADISON, Wis. (OFFICE OF GOVERNOR TONY EVERS PRESS RELEASE) – Gov. Tony Evers today released the following statement regarding Wisconsin joining a new multi-state lawsuit to stop the Trump Administration from gutting funding for life-saving medical research, which would have a devastating impact on Wisconsin, the state’s flagship campus, and renowned research institutions in the University of Wisconsin (UW) System and across the country.
“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,” said Gov. Evers. “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.”
