Senator Dan Feyen Recognized as Wisconsin Economic Development Association Legislator of the Year

The Wisconsin Economic Development Association (WEDA) recently presented state Senator Dan Feyen (R-Fond du Lac) with the organization’s Legislator of the Year award for his exceptional leadership on policy initiatives to drive economic growth and prosperity in Wisconsin during the 2023-24 legislative session.

The award was presented to Feyen at a local business event in Fond du Lac.

“Senator Feyen remains an incredibly strong voice for economic development in Madison, advocating for policies and programs that encourage economic growth in his local communities and across Wisconsin,” said Michael Welsh, WEDA V.P. of Legislative Affairs. “His work and leadership during the 2023-24 legislative session on key initiatives to address the state’s workforce shortage crisis, drive business growth and expansion, and encourage the development of much-needed housing for working families will provide new opportunities for growth and prosperity for Wisconsin businesses and families.”

Feyen earned WEDA’s Legislator of the Year award for his efforts in the Senate on a wide range of legislation to advance the Wisconsin economy, including several bills passed into law to encourage the development of workforce housing, successful legislation to promote business expansion and investment into Wisconsin, and several proposals to provide communities with the policy tools to drive local economic activity.

Feyen said, “I’m honored to receive this award. I have worked together with WEDA and their members to support their mission of economic development throughout the state. Receiving this award is evidence of the hard work and partnership we forged. I look forward to working on more economic development legislation next session.”
