Governor: Hey there, folks. Governor Tony Evers here.
First Lady: And I’m First Lady Kathy Evers. Today, we’re wishing all of those celebrating across our state a joyous Kwanzaa.
Governor: Each year, this week reminds us of the seven principles of Kwanzaa—unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.
First Lady: These values help guide celebrations around the world and underscore the importance of togetherness, giving us the opportunity to cherish the bonds in our families and communities.
Governor: May the next seven days bring plenty of warmth, prosperity, and joy for you and those you love into the new year and beyond.
Together: Happy Kwanzaa, Wisconsin!
