Get StartedPolice officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, and other first responders are among the most trusted and important public servants in our communities. Many departments are facing staffing challenges, increasing call volumes, and growing service demands. We should ensure that communities have the resources necessary to maintain effective emergency services while supporting the people who provide them. Learn more
Childcare costs have become a major financial burden for many families. If we want parents to participate in the workforce and raise families successfully, we need sustainable childcare systems that work for parents, providers, employers, and communities. Supporting families is one of the most effective ways to improve economic security and reduce financial stress. Learn more
The rising cost of living affects nearly every family in Wisconsin. Whether it's housing, childcare, healthcare, property taxes, groceries, insurance, or utilities, many people feel like they're working harder just to stay in the same place. I believe government should focus less on partisan fights and more on reducing the financial pressures that make it harder for families to build stable, secure lives. Learn more
I believe Wisconsin should conduct a comprehensive review of how it funds schools, with three goals: make funding more predictable, more transparent, and more honest, and relieve the pressure on local property taxpayers. Districts should know what resources they will have before they build next year's budget. There are too many surprises right now. No one can rewrite the formula in a sound bite, and I will not pretend otherwise. My commitment is to a process that is open, fair, and understandable to families, educators, and taxpayers alike.

The teachers I have met are hardworking professionals who are being asked to do more with less. They are navigating larger expectations, changing student needs, workforce shortages, and a growing load of administrative work. In school visit after school visit, I have heard how much of a teacher's day goes to paperwork instead of the classroom. Parents have every right to ask questions and stay involved in their children's education, and transparency matters. But we can have those conversations without treating the people doing the work as opponents. When trust between families and schools breaks down, students are the ones who suffer. Educators need accountability, but they also need the time, trust, and support to focus on teaching. On any change that affects their work, teachers should have a real seat at the table. Learn more
School districts are legally required to provide special education services, and they should be. Public schools serve every child, and every child has value. But when the state does not cover its share of those costs, the cost does not disappear. It lands on local classrooms and local taxpayers. Districts end up pulling resources from other students or asking property taxpayers to make up the difference. Fully funding special education in public schools is the only acceptable answer. It is my first priority in education. Learn more
We need to fund our public schools. We need those schools to invest in programs that build confidence, curiosity, and resilience. However, year after year, our schools are being asked to do more with less. They are cutting programs. They are laying off staff. They are closing their doors. We cannot afford to allow this to continue. Learn more
Mental health deserves the same attention and seriousness as physical health. Families, schools, employers, first responders, healthcare professionals, and community organizations all report growing concerns about mental health challenges. Expanding access to mental health services and reducing barriers to treatment should be an important part of Wisconsin's healthcare strategy. Learn more
Healthcare only works when people can actually get it. Many communities continue to face challenges related to provider shortages, long wait times, mental health services, and access to specialized care. Rural communities are often affected the most. Wisconsin should work to strengthen healthcare access across the state and ensure residents can receive timely care close to home whenever possible. Learn more
Access to healthcare should not depend on your ZIP code, your employer, or whether you can absorb a major medical bill. For many Wisconsin families, healthcare has become harder to afford even when they have insurance. Rising premiums, deductibles, copays, prescription costs, and unexpected medical expenses create financial stress for families, employers, and retirees alike. Learn more
Too many people are struggling to find housing they can afford. We need communities that can grow responsibly, create housing opportunities for young families, workers, and seniors, and remove barriers that unnecessarily drive up costs. The goal should be simple: people who work in our communities should be able to afford to live in them. Learn more
Reliable infrastructure is one of the foundations of economic opportunity and quality of life. Roads, bridges, utilities, broadband, and transportation networks are not political issues. They are essential investments that allow communities and businesses to succeed. Wisconsin should prioritize infrastructure projects based on long-term value, public benefit, and community needs rather than political considerations. Learn more
