Senator Eric Wimberger has taken to social media to discuss a range of topics concerning his recent activities and legislative actions. Through a series of tweets, Wimberger highlights his support for local services, engagement with educational communities, and critique of the state's executive actions.

On May 19, Senator Wimberger expressed his pride in supporting Northeast Wisconsin's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) departments during National Emergency Medical Services Week. He noted his contribution by "voting for the largest funding increase ever for local services, like EMS, in our most recent State Budget."

The following day, on May 20, he acknowledged the collaborative efforts with Representative Behnke. In a tweet, Wimberger thanked Behnke for joining him in welcoming students from Shawano Schools to the Capitol. He stated: "Thanks to @RepBehnke for joining me in welcoming students from @shawanoschools to the Capitol!"

On May 21, Senator Wimberger addressed concerns regarding Governor Evers' handling of state funds. In a tweet directed at this issue, he accused Governor Evers of illegal activity by not returning what he termed an "illegal $170 million slush fund." He further mentioned introducing legislation aimed at resolving this matter: "My bill will do what the Governor refuses to do, follow the law, and put this money back under legislative oversight."

In context with these statements is ongoing political discourse regarding budget allocations and legal compliance within state governance structures.
