Senator Eric Wimberger, a Republican representing Wisconsin's 2nd Senate district since 2025, has recently highlighted several initiatives and local achievements through his social media posts.
On September 22, 2025, Wimberger announced the opening of applications for a statewide educational initiative: "Applications for the 2026 Senate Scholar Program are now open! Senate Scholars spend a week in Madison seeing first-hand how Wisconsin's state government works. If you know a high school junior or senior with a passion for government, make sure they apply!"
A day later, on September 23, 2025, he congratulated businesses from his district that were recognized in a state manufacturing contest: "Congratulations to these companies from across the 2nd Senate District nominated for @WisconsinMC's Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin contest! Arty's Premium Beverages in Clintonville Bassett Mechanical in Kaukauna Bay Tek Entertainment in Pulaski Cruisers Yachts in Oconto"
Most recently, on September 24, 2025, Wimberger referenced his background as a truck driver while discussing legislative efforts to improve transportation safety: "As a former truck driver, I was proud to testify on my new bill with @RepSpiros to enhance roadway safety for semis. Senate Bill 273 would align state law with federal rules, allowing semi trucks to use camera monitoring systems for enhanced, real-time visibility to eliminate"
Wimberger began serving as state senator after being elected in 2025 and succeeded Robert Cowles. The Senate Scholar Program is an annual opportunity designed for high school juniors and seniors interested in learning about the state's legislative process. The "Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin" contest is organized by Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) to showcase innovative products made within the state. Wimberger’s recent legislative activity includes collaborating with Representative Spiros on transportation policy aimed at improving safety standards for semi-trucks by updating state regulations to reflect federal requirements.
