Protect Federal Funding for Public Media

I am writing to urge you to oppose the proposed rescissions package that would eliminate federal funding for public media. This funding is critical to ensuring that PBS Wisconsin and Wisconsin Public Radio continue providing essential programs, educational resources, and trusted news to our communities. Public media serves as a vital source of unbiased journalism, lifelong learning, and cultural enrichment. Losing this funding would severely impact the ability of PBS Wisconsin and WPR to serve the people of our state, limiting access to quality programming for children, educators, and individuals who depend on these services for informed civic engagement. This is the most serious threat public media has faced in decades, and time is running out. Please stand with your constituents and vote **NO** on eliminating federal support for public media. I appreciate your leadership and look forward to your commitment to protecting this invaluable service.
