I'm Tony Evers, and I'm incredibly proud to be the 46th governor of the great state of Wisconsin. We were really looking forward to having you here in America's Dairyland. Unfortunately, the pandemic means we can't do that this year. But what unites us is far, far greater than what divides us. So even though we can't be with each other, I know we have a shared sense of purpose. (00:17–00:23)
