No line to vote in the Village of Oregon at 9 am today, but I’m told they were quite busy first thing. “We finally are able to take bathroom breaks,” a poll worker told me. Number 367 for wards 10-16. Vote, folks!

Honestly, getting more emotional watching this parade than I did the night they won. Garrett Mitchell, Turang, Yelich all getting off the bus and high-fiving anyone he sees. Incredible scenes in downtown Milwaukee right now. Great coverage from @WISN12News

Love the candor and honesty. The world could use more Ernie Johnsons in it.
It’s time. 🤟🤟🏾🤟🏻🤟🏽

Brutal way to end a thrilling game. How are we supposed to sleep after that?? Get ‘em tomorrow, Crew.

This 39-year-old Tosa kid never thought he’d see this. But we’re not done yet. #ThisIsMyCrew

Huge project, huge challenge, (admittedly) huge pain for drivers -- but it's hugely important, too. Let's get it done!
The brake lights, the backups, the burnout... our members get it. Construction on I-94 in MKE is a challenge for EVERYONE. But we're building something much better for the future and it's critical we continue to fund it or risk an even longer project. Learn more in the vid!

This is definitely the kind of project you've gotta see in-person if you can.
Don't let the nickname fool you: there's nothing small about the so-called "Baby King Kong" pile driver @walbecgroup crews are using to transform the @PortGreenBay this summer. Check out their progress and what lawmakers @amaadair @EricWimberger think of it all!

The Wisconsin River Bridges on I-39/90/94 carry 60,000 vehicles a day. Soon, the final cars will cross the 65-year-old bridges as crews prepare to open the NEW northbound side and begin shift to southbound. We checked out the progress last week w/ @Kraemer_NA & @HNTBCorp

Pretty exciting to do this ride along
An eye in the sky helping our crews watch their backs in freeway work zones. Huge thanks to @wistatepatrol & @WisconsinDOT for their partnership in Eau Claire County this spring!

Mike Hahn has made a name for himself in construction, especially since he never intended to get into it in the first place. Check out our latest Road Trippin' pod "Never Say Never," available HERE or wherever you get your podcasts (just search WTBA!) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Super cool (and, honestly, a little scary) riding along w/ State Patrol for this mission last week. Thanks to @WisDOTnorthwest for hosting us. Recap video coming soon.
State Patrol pulled over 21 drivers doing an average of 19 MPH over the posted speed limit in the I-94 work zone near Eau Claire late last week. Some were going 20-24 MPH over. Thanks to WSP for your partnership in helping keep our crews safe!

Another eye-opening tour in the books. Humbling experience to be in the middle of that work zone.
Lawmakers who sign up to meet with WTBA members don't just get talking points, they get experiences that will stick with them. Like our I-94 bridge tour w/ Rep. Zimmerman last week, walking a work zone nestled between freeway traffic on all sides.

"You hold the power to prevent these crashes." Safe actions truly save lives. Thanks to all of our members and our partners at @WisconsinDOT, @ATSSAHQ, @IUOELocal139, & @LightTheHoan for helping spread the word during the 2026 Work Zone Awareness Week.

Going from prelim designs only 30% developed to finishing several new interstate bridges, ramps, and improving pavement in less than a year? It's possible with Design-Build! Awesome seeing Hoffman Construction's Cranberry Interchange project this week. Thanks for the tour!

Really cool to capture this last night. Loved the bright orange also reflecting off the still water below.
A bright and bold reminder: slow down, save lives. The Hoan Bridge in Milwaukee glowed construction barrel-orange last night in honor of National Work Zone Awareness Week. Special thanks to @LightTheHoan for helping us make this happen!

Nice day at the office!
Bunts, a squeeze, a sac fly. Finesse, teamwork and selflessness. Yep, the @Brewers won yesterday the same way our members go about THEIR work, too. Great day at the ballpark for our annual WTBA outing! #ThisisOURCrew
