See Josh Schoemann's moving announcement video for the governor of Wisconsin

We received the first look at the moving announcement video by Washington County for Josh Schoemann for the governor of Wisconsin.

The 43 -year -old Schoemann, who runs as a Republican, organizes an event on Sunday, May 4, 2025, to officially announced his campaign against the democratic governor Tony Evers.

“I am Josh Schoemann and I run for the governor,” he confirms in the video, which outlines his biography and hits the subject of commonality and unity by neighbors. The sound stands in strong contrast to the partisan rhetoric and the attitude of the Evers, and Schoemann also emphasizes his deep Wisconsin roots.

Josh and his team have to increase a fully financed road construction without taxes by 2050.”

When they grew up as the son of a Lutheran minister, they move a lot. I remember how I was sitting on the balcony as a young child and listening to my father, who about the importance of loving your neighbors more than loving.

If you move as much as we do, it will be really important. These neighbors. You become your lifeline, your community. I love that in Wisconsin. They are the people. It doesn't matter where you come from, how you talk or what you think. We all treat like a neighbor.

When I was 12 years old, I got my first job on the lake in Kewaunee, where I learned to move quickly and think on my feet. In summer I worked on our neighbors' farms, milking cows, working sheep and picking stones

Then I understood the importance of hard work for the first time. Then I worked as a caretaker in local schools in summer. To bring a salary check home, help my family and save money for college. Shortly after I met my future wife Jodi, I joined the national guard of the army.

Three years later, I would remind my father's lessons to love their neighbors. The sirens started just a few minutes after our battalion had landed in Kuwait. We hurried to the bomb accommodations when the world exploded over our heads.

We crowded together and prayed. We hardly knew each other. We came from different places, backgrounds and beliefs, but it didn't matter in these moments. We were family. We were all neighbors.

During this use I wrote Philipper 4 verse 13 on my Kevlar. [“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”]

To remember that we are never really alone even in the darkest times. Today I rely on all these lessons. From my father's sermon, the kitchens of Gibs, the fields of the farms of our neighbors, school work, the long months in Kuwait. Everything to lead our community here in Washington County by concentrating on people, common sense, hard work and the relentless commitment to the service.

We have reduced government spending. Smart the bureaucracy. Slashed bureaucracy and gave millions of taxpayers back to people, while investing in home ownership for young families, supporting small companies and building infrastructure that everyone can rely on. We need more of this vision, strength and tour in Madison.

Our state needs executives who are ready to roll up the sleeves, bring people together and do the hard work, to build a better future for Wisconsin.

I am sorry to observe generations of our young people and our pensioners for greener pastures. I will fight to make Wisconsin the best state of the nation to live, work, to start a family, to be in retirement and to found a business. That is why our state becomes a great place not only to be out.

I cannot promise that we will always agree, but I can promise that nobody will revise me to serve them. They earn nothing less because we are neighbors.
