Q&A with the Candidate
Why should voters elect you?
Voters should elect me because I’ll fight for working families, protect our rights, and bring practical, people-first leadership to Madison. I believe the best future for Wisconsin starts in Wisconsin... with stronger schools, better jobs, affordable healthcare, and a government that works for all of us
What is the top issue in your district? How would you address it?
Affordability is the issue. People are working hard, but the basics cost too much: housing, healthcare, groceries, utilities, and property taxes. We need to get more money back from Madison to fund our schools, reduce the need for referendums, and help ease the pressure on local property taxes.
How should Wisconsin government operate differently than in the past?
Wisconsin government should operate with less stalemate and more direct accountability to the people. I support giving citizens the ability to bring forward ballot initiatives, so voters are not blocked when politicians refuse to act. And with a pro-worker, pro-public education, pro-healthcare majority in Madison, we can finally move the backlog of strong bills that lower costs, protect rights, and make government work for working families again.
What is your favorite fun Wisconsin history fact?
Wisconsin has always been a leader in workers' rights from the first workers comp laws to the first unemployment insurance program!
