Get StartedEvery person should be able to make their own healthcare decisions without fear, judgment, or interference from politicians. I will work to ensure that abortion and reproductive healthcare are available in every county across the state, because access should not depend on where you live or how much money you make.

Now more than ever, representation is essential in the face of growing attacks on LGBTQ Wisconsinites – attacks on our healthcare, humanity, and fundamental freedoms. As Wisconsin’s first transgender state legislator, I will use my position not only to fight back against anti-LGBTQ bills, but to advance a positive, proactive agenda for full equality in our state.

Our criminal justice system should not be about locking people up and hoping that it decreases crime. It should be about care, rehabilitation, and addressing the root causes of violence. When people's basic needs are met, it contributes to the safety of our neighborhoods. In the Assembly, I will work to ensure all of our communities have the resources they need to thrive. Learn more
As a small business owner, I know that when small businesses do well, the economy does well. Our state government should be focused on supporting workers and local businesses – not giving more handouts to billionaires and big corporations. In the Assembly, I will fight for higher wages and economic policies that put working people first. Learn more
Too many people are working hard and still can’t get ahead. The cost of living has risen faster than our wages, all while billionaires and big corporations rake in record profits. This isn’t a coincidence – it’s by design. We need bold, progressive change to unrig our economy, undo decades of harmful Republican policies, and finally bring down costs for working families. I’ll get it done. Learn more
Wisconsin has a constitutional obligation to fund public education, and it’s time we finally meet it. Public dollars should stay in public schools which are required to serve every student and can be held accountable. That means ending the state-funded voucher program and stopping private interests from siphoning resources out of classrooms. Learn more
We are running out of time to tackle the climate crisis. As a legislator, I’ll accelerate our transition to 100% renewable energy and make real our commitment to a carbon-free future. The state should be invested in protecting our natural resources – for Wisconsinites today and for generations after us. Learn more
We need to be doing so much more to address the epidemic of gun violence in our state. Wisconsinites should not have to step out of their homes in fear that they will fall victim to yet another mass shooting. From universal background checks and red flag laws to a ban on ghost guns, there are so many commonsense measures our state can adopt to reduce gun violence and save lives. Learn more
For most of my life, I have gone without health insurance because I simply couldn't afford it. Too many Wisconsinites know exactly what this feels like. Healthcare should relieve stress, not add to it. I will fight every day to ensure that our state treats it as a human right. Learn more
Wisconsin is facing a housing crisis, and our government needs to act with urgency to make sure that people can actually afford to live and stay here. As someone who has experienced homelessness, I will never forget what that uncertainty feels like. In the Assembly, I will fight for the dignity and stability that all our neighbors deserve. Learn more
Right now, families are being ripped apart by an administration that treats people as threats rather than human beings. An institution designed to terrorize communities and inflict harm cannot be reformed. ICE must be abolished. Wisconsin should be a place where all people feel welcome and safe, and that includes our immigrant neighbors. Learn more
Wisconsin would not be what it is today without the hard work of our farmers. But Republican lawmakers have turned their back on our farmers and agricultural workers. As your State Representative, I will combat hunger, strengthen our family farms, and ensure all kids and families have access to high-quality, nutritious food. Learn more
Our seniors built Wisconsin. They deserve to retire with dignity, security, and the freedom to live where and how they choose. But right now, our family members are being forced to choose between their medications and their groceries. Supporting our seniors should be a priority – not an afterthought. Learn more
The cost of child care is out of control. Families should never have to choose between earning a paycheck and making sure their children are safe and supported during the workday. I will work to pass paid family and parental leave for all and provide free childcare to every family that needs it. Learn more
As a former union member and someone who has worked in the service industry for most of my career, I know firsthand how life-changing it can be to have a union fighting for you in the workplace. We must repeal Act 10, restore collective bargaining rights, and create a culture where safety and dignity on the job are non-negotiable. But to do it, working people need a seat at the table.
