Affordable, accessible child care is a workforce issue. Everyone is impacted when families wither cannot find or cannot afford quality childcare in their communities. I believe we need to do a better job in making the early childhood education and child care profession a viable career path with a sustaining, living wage.

Personally, I bicycle or walk whenever I can. We can all do our part to make sure we are caring for the planet we live on. Learn more
Access to affordable housing is one of the most pressing issues facing the Fox Valley. This past session I co-sponsored a bill package which took first steps in addressing the crisis threw grants assisting municipalities and developers in rehabbing or building workforce housing. Helping municipalities make investments in multi-unit, middle and lower income housing is key. While single family homes are out of reach for many in the Fox Cities, we can take a look at creative solutions to ensure everyone has a roof over their head that they can afford. Learn more
