Now you're running for governor of Wisconsin. You're a proud Wisconsinite. Wisconsin for a long time was known as a really solid education state. Is that true? Today? Wisconsin is slipping, and it's really unfortunate. It was always in the top five for, like, ACT scores, and now we have slipped out of the top 10, and we've fallen so far that we're now behind Mississippi. So we have about seven in 10 fourth graders that cannot read at grade level. It's no longer just a Milwaukee problem. It's become a statewide problem. (00:28–00:43)
