The answer is: Wisconsin

Explanation:

Member of the House, senator and Governor of the state of Wisconsin, nicknamed "Fighting Bob," who instituted reforms that turned Wisconsin into what Theodore Roosevelt would call "the laboratory of democracy."

Elected as governor of Wisconsin in 1900, he vigorously backed a reform program (the Wisconsin plan) that became a model for other states.
