The following day, he highlighted an event honoring emergency personnel: “The Legislature welcomed hundreds of first responders to the State Capitol today to honor police, firefighters, and EMTs from across Wisconsin.

Later on October 14, Wimberger announced the passage of a transportation safety bill: “During the Senate’s floor session today, my bill to enhance roadway safety for semi trucks passed with unanimous support.
