Get StartedThere is a need to address the issue of hemp and cannabis reform. The current bill regarding hemp expires on November 12, 2026. Currently, the hemp industry is a 700 million industry in our state. We must keep the existing hemp industry. Cannabis reform is about “Adult Freedoms” and “Personal Choice”. It generates 160 million dollars in tax revenue to neighboring states every year. This is our money. These tax dollars could be directed toward lowering property taxes and funding our public schools. At the bare minimum, we must pass medical cannabis and preserve the hemp industry in the state of Wisconsin. Learn more
Economic freedom and revenue is a win. The farmers would benefit from a regulated market, new businesses would be created, law enforcement would have more time to focus on crime, and our prison system would not be as congested, eating up tax dollars. Cannabis reform is a win for everyone and our economy. It is time to accept and embrace the medical benefits of cannabis. As your representative in the Assembly, I will fight for proper and fair legislation. Learn more
The solution to preserving our public schools is through amending the school voucher program and increased state funding. Learn more
As your representative in the Assembly, I will fight for more funding for our schools and restructuring the School Voucher Program in an effort to offset the cost of increasing school taxes. Learn more
Public schools are the heartbeat of a community, promoting community pride and unity, priceless commodities. The school voucher program is an open wound, bleeding our school districts dry. The school voucher program pulls money away from all school districts, leaving all the schools vulnerable to lack of adequate funding, and school taxes will inevitably increase as the result. The school voucher program is needed in Wisconsin, but is exploited. It is a form of institutional self-segregation paid for by the taxpayer dollar. Learn more
The data center development in Cassville must be paused or stopped entirely. A moratorium of 12 -18 months is needed to put in place until further information is available regarding the long-term consequences, such as air pollution, noise pollution, the environmental waste, and health risks associated to the community. A decision made now, can and will affect generations to come. Data centers use polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as "forever chemicals," or (PFAS) in the production of their chips, wiring, and computer boards needed for their operation. Furthermore, these chemicals are used for their cooling, fire suppression, and electrical isolation systems. Forever Chemicals have known health hazards such as kidney cancer and renal failure, increased cholesterol levels, obesity, decreased infant and fetal growth, high blood pressure, and immune system suppression.

The long-term impact must be addressed over the short-term gains. Just because they can, doesn't mean they should. Regardless if it is a closed loop system and the power required for the data center is produced on site. It is not a win for District 49. Assembly Bill 840 is written vaguely, lacking the specificity needed to protect The People of District 49 from unjust utility rate hikes. We must have transparency about the Mega data center being proposed in Cassville. Non-disclosure agreements written behind closed doors do not protect the public interest. They protect the billionaire class pushing their agenda until it is too late for the public to act. Deals in the dark are dirty deals. Learn more
Additionally, we need to raise corporate taxes. The working class was strong and growing when the corporate tax rate was higher than it is today. The wealthy must pay their fair share. Our current system is a "cart before the horse" scenario. Based on the value of your home, regardless of your ability to pay, the cart is loaded and we as the horses bare the burden. Never mind if we live on a fixed income, have to accept a lower-paying job, or have a spouse pass away and now shoulder the expense with one income. Learn more
As our population ages, the always increasing property taxes will force some seniors out of their home they've worked for their whole life. These people are our neighbors. Neighbors help neighbors. We must do what is right for the people. There are many ways to address the ever increasing property tax bill. An income based system, a one time tax upon sale of a home (like any other good or service) and a “Cannabis Tax Credit” when cannabis reform takes place. Also, the corporate tax rate must be increased. A combination of these ideas or one by itself is needed to help eliminate or greatly offset our current property tax burden of our citizens. I will fight for property tax reform/elimination. Learn more
The solution to the endlessly increasing property taxes is to eliminate them entirely or, at the minimum, paid for a set number of years, 5 to 10 years max. They can be offset by a progressive taxation system. A progressive based taxation system is a fair system to all and also more sustainable. The more money you make, the more money you pay. As the economy grows, so does the government. The “Mill Rate” isn’t a budget, but a demand. Learn more
