LA CROSSE, Wis. (SPECTRUM NEWS) — Vice President Mike Pence is returning to the Badger state.
The White House on Tuesday said Pence will travel to La Crosse, Wis. on Labor Day, September 7, visit Dairyland Power Cooperative and deliver remarks thanking the workforce.
According to the White House, President Donald Trump's administration led to an unemployment rate of 3.1% in March and 59,600 Wisconsin jobs, including 15,000 manufacturing jobs since Trump took office. Since the pandemic, over 200,000 Wisconsin jobs have been recovered and over 92% of Wisconsin small businesses have safely reopened.
Later that evening, the Vice President will return to Washington, D.C.
Pence was most recently supposed to deliver remarks to the 2020 graduating class at Wisconsin Lutheran College's commencement ceremony, but there was a change of plans following the police shooting of Jacob Blake that caused protesting and civil uprest.
