Gov.
Tony Evers began 2020 talking about how to spend a budget surplus and preparing for the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee.
By the end of the year, the first-term governor had overseen a sweeping government response to a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, mobilized the National Guard following destructive protests in Madison and Kenosha, and fought repeated Republican lawsuits seeking to overturn President-elect
As 2021 begins, Evers will have to negotiate a new budget with Republican lawmakers, and if he decides to seek a second term lay the foundation for his reelection campaign.
