Governor Tony Evers promised voters that he would fix Wisconsin’s roads when he first ran in 2018. In fact, he attacked Scott Walker aggressively over the issue.

October 2018: Tony Evers tells transportation forum he will make roads a top priority

The American Society of Civil Engineers is out with their 2020 Wisconsin Infrastructure Report Card, and it’s bad news for Evers. He earned a D+ on his “top priority” — Wisconsin’s roads. 

ASCE noted that more than one-third of the state’s 115,000 miles of roads are in “fair or below condition and deterioration is likely to continue” and that “deficient roads cost drivers $6 billion annually due to wear and tear on vehicles.” — page 68 of the report.

“Tony Evers’ campaign promise to fix Wisconsin roads has failed miserably, earning him a near-failing grade,” said RGA Spokesperson Maddie Anderson. “He’s a liberal who talks a big game yet is unable to follow through and deliver for his constituents time and time again. Evers failed at his ‘top priority’ – and his inability to deliver is a primary reason he will be voted out next fall.”
