The tenant protection package is one of our big pushes, and we've introduced it the last two sessions at the state. It follows up on the work that I did at Milwaukee County.

And it has kept thousands of people in their homes. It even helped folks get direct rent assistance during the pandemic and yet we're seeing local leaders in Milwaukee and Milwaukee county try to defund that program. (04:27–04:35)
