I'm Missy Hughes, and I'm running for Governor of Wisconsin!

I’ve spent my career helping grow our economy: helping farmers stay on their land, creating thousands of good-paying jobs, and supporting over 9,500 small businesses across every county in our state.
Thank you Waunakee for your warm welcome this afternoon!

As I travel across the state I am hearing over and over the need to grow our economy, support our public schools, and protect our civil rights.

As Governor I’ll bring everyone to the table to fight for Wisconsin’s future.

The lawless and deadly ICE invasion of Minneapolis is unAmerican - and Donald Trump is responsible for it.

Please watch my statement here.

Great to join WIZM in La Crosse this afternoon to share my Unlock Wisconsin plan to build more housing, train Wisconsinites, and help entrepreneurs start small businesses.

Today is the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, protecting women’s right to control their own body.

Three years ago the extreme Supreme Court took that right away.

As your Governor, I’ll fight everyday ensure every woman has the power to make their own healthcare decisions.

Look at this MJS article by @JessieOpie.bsky.social on my economic plan to Unlock Wisconsin: www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

Based on my proven experience at the WI Economic Development Corp: creating 45K jobs, supporting 9,500 new businesses, and bringing $10B in private investment to WI.

Tonight at the Main Street Alliance Governor Candidate Forum I laid out my vision for a Wisconsin where everyone can live to their fullest potential.

As Governor I’ll work everyday to grow our economy, and unlock Wisconsinites who for too long have been held back.

Wisconsin depends on farmers - I loved taking the time to meet with local dairy farmers, horse farmers, cheesemongers, and more today in Oregon.

We talked about local issues from public education to preserving family farms and what I’ll do as Governor to support agriculture. 🧀

I just released the first priorities of my economic plan to Unlock Wisconsin: start 50K new businesses, train 100K Wisconsinites annually for high-paying jobs, and build 200K new homes in my first term as Governor.

Thank you to everyone who braved the cold this evening to join our meet & greet in Appleton!

Everyday I am going out and visiting communities across Wisconsin and hearing directly from voters.

Together we can build a Wisconsin that unlocks the potential of every Wisconsinite.

It was great to join King Fest at the Wisconsin Black Historical Society this afternoon.

I met so many inspiring small business owners doing critically important work lifting up their communities.

Thank you to the organizers and speakers for helping us celebrate MLK’s legacy.

Amazing to join the Milwaukee YMCA’s MLK breakfast this morning.

Thank you to Rev. Shaw for your powerful invocation, and to all of the speakers for your words calling on each of us to reflect on, and carry forward, the dreams of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today would have been my mother’s 100th birthday.

A daughter of immigrants, she was one of the first women to graduate from Columbia Med, raised 7 kids, and served her community for decades.

Thank you to the Sheboygan Dems for inviting me to share the lessons she taught me.

We started our day with a coffee chat in Peshtigo for a discussion on how we can protect and grow our rural communities.

It was great talking with folks about my plans to lower property taxes, ensure WI jobs pay well, and we protect our environment from PFAS contamination.

It was great to join the Marinette County Dems tonight and share my vision for the future of Wisconsin.

In this race we’re going everywhere, and talking with everyone, about how we can build an economy that lifts every Wisconsinite!

This outpouring of support reflects the deep desire from Wisconsinites for a leader who understands the economy and is ready to unlock Wisconsin’s potential.

Thank you for your continued support!

Milwaukee is among the top 5 cities for young adults to move to in 2026, according to @TravelLeisureMag.bsky.social: www.travelandleisure.com/best-us-citi... (based on job market, overall livability, and a few other factors).

It's great to see MKE get national recognition like this!

So proud to have worked with the farmers and the rest of the dairy industry to bring milk to tables all across the world.

Wisconsin dairy contributes more than $50B to our state’s economy!

Renee Nicole Good should still be with us.

My statement on the shooting in Minneapolis today.
January 8, 2026 at 12:18 AM
However you celebrate, I hope today brings a little rest, a little laughter, and time with the people you love.

This campaign is about community; neighbors looking out for one another, regardless of who you vote for.

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas!

When I led the WI Economic Development Corp, it was important when it comes to economic development to be able to work across the aisle.

This is part of what I touched on with @WMGarcia.bsky.social and WIZM's Rick Solem during our conversation on the Democratic Voice: omny.fm/shows/the-de...

So far, Wisconsin has only had men as governor, we’re long overdue for the first woman.

I discussed this and more on The @DrKristin4WI.bsky.social Show - From Sheep to State - civicmedia.us/shows/kristi...

As governor, I’ll fight for you and your family’s needs, because women get things done.

It was great to sit down w/ Zac Schultz on @PBSWisconsin.bsky.social’s Here & Now to share my vision for WI: pbswisconsin.org/watch/here-a...

Everyday I hear directly from Wisconsinites about how hard it has become to get ahead.

As Governor I'll work to build an economy where every family thrives.

Unemployment is at a 4-year high of 4.6%.

Daily, Wisconsinites are getting hit by job-crippling tariffs, diminishing wages and spiraling costs.

As your governor I'll make a #MainStreetEconomy that thrives for every Wisconsin worker, family and business!

WI families are seeing their premiums skyrocket because of the failed leadership of Tom Tiffany.

Families are forced to choose between paying for healthcare or putting food on the table.

As Governor I'll expand BadgerCare so every Wisconsinite gets the care they need.

An A++ economy wouldn’t have us struggling to make ends meet.

Increased costs for farmers means increased costs for you at the grocery store.

Wisconsin needs a governor who knows how to build a strong economy and that’s me!
