Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce released a new television advertisement that targets incumbent Governor Tony Evers over his handling of unemployment insurance during his tenure.
In an accompanying press release, WMC cites a state audit which found that more than 99% of calls to the Department of Workforce Development (DWD) went unanswered during the earlier months of the COVID-19 pandemic. By November 2020, the DWD had processed about 92% of the claims filed since March 2020.
The group said that the advertisement began airing on broadcast television last week, calling it part of a “significant investment … to education Wisconsinites on issues important to our states economic competitiveness.”
