WI Democratic Gov. Tony Evers called for a rejection of "the tired politics of the past" in his inauguration speech, urging lawmakers to find bipartisan solutions to the biggest issues facing the state.

Evers, the state superintendent of schools since 2009, took over for Republican Scott Walker and faces a Republican-controlled Legislature that may oppose many of his biggest priorities.

This marks the first time since 2006, when Democrat Jim Doyle was governor, that the entire Legislature is controlled by the opposite party of the governor.

During his address, Evers reiterated the priorities that defined his campaign, including increased funding for public schools, universities and technical colleges, an overhaul of Wisconsin’s infrastructure and roads to fix the state’s “transportation crisis,” and a health care system that will provide adequate treatment to 2.4 million Wisconsin residents with pre-existing conditions.

Democrat Gov. Tim Walz took the oath of office on Monday as MN’s 41st Chief Executive. The former Congressman and high school teacher said his number one goal is to unite the state into what he called “One Minnesota.” Read his inaugural address here.

Walz takes over from Democrat Mark Dayton, who's retiring after eight years as governor. Walz will be the first Democrat in state history to succeed a two-term governor from his party.

He will face the only split legislature in the country. After flipping 18 seats in November, Democrats took control of the House, while in the Senate Republicans hold a two-vote majority.
