BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"The Mississippi River is a water highway for Made in Wisconsin goods, a fresh water source for millions of families, and an iconic American landmark that attracts outdoor enthusiasts and visitors to the Badger State. With extreme weather events like flooding becoming more common, pollution and environmental degradation on the rise, and the increased prevalence of invasive species, we need to work together to protect and restore the Mississippi so it can continue to provide for our families, economy, and way of life. I am proud to champion this initiative to double down on our resiliency and restoration efforts for this freshwater giant, the ecosystems that rely on these waters, and the communities whose economy, health, and future are tied to the Mighty Mississippi."
