Gov. Evers Delivers for Washington County
On June 13, 2021, the governor visited the grand opening of the Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial in Washington County. The memorial has been years in the making and was started by the Haberman Family, who lost their daughter, Andrea, in the attack at the World Trade Center on 9/11. The memorial displays a section of a beam from the North Tower of the World Trade Center and serves as a place to reflect and pay tribute to the lives lost on 9/11. Gov. Evers visited Friends, Inc., to sign two bills into law that will offer greater transparency and accountability to the state’s testing of sexual assault kits, providing increased support for victims and survivors.
