My highest level priority is to work for and with the people of Wisconsin’s Congressional District 4 to make our lives better. Together, we can topple fascism, authoritarianism, and the billionaire class. I have specific legislative priorities, particularly around affordability, that I discuss in some detail in my other answers. I’m a working class healthcare worker, librarian, public school parent, member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and organizer with a strong, deep, and vibrant network of individuals and groups across the district, from Brown Deer to West Allis. I am not taking any corporate money. I use my communication and relationship building skills to gather allies, building power together to find solutions and get things done.
Affordability connects public safety, public health, the environment, education, and more. Working people are facing hard decisions between paying for food, transportation, housing, healthcare, keeping the heat on, etc. We are one of the richest countries in the world, and we have to do better. To address affordability, I will start with taxing the ultra rich (H.R. 8085), blocking the use of tax dollars for bombs (H.R. 3565), enacting Medicare for All (H.R. 3069), and enacting a Green New Deal that creates jobs and a more sustainable economy. Once in Congress, I will work with every other member who shares these goals to move these pieces of legislation forward, and hold those who stand in the way accountable to their constituents.
We need to build on the bipartisan Voting Rights Act of 1965 and codify H.R. 14, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. While every Democrat in Congress supports it, there is not a single Republican cosponsor; I will show up and hold our Republican Wisconsin Congressional representatives accountable to their constituents for that decision. I support abolishing the electoral college and support the state legislators who are working to get Wisconsin to join the National Popular Vote Compact. I also support national standardization of: rank choice voting, restoring voting rights to people with felony convictions, and modernizing election administration (including early in-person voting & mail in ballots).
Immediately cosponsor Medicare for All, which includes fully comprehensive reproductive care (and gender affirming care, vision, dental, and more: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/3069/text#toc-H6D37CD32F12544F6BD9CF5C5104E98F6). I will demand accountability from any Wisconsin Congress members who stand in the way. I will support and advocate for Wisconsin state solutions if needed, including a Badgercare public option. As a healthcare provider and as a patient, I know our current for profit healthcare system is running on dangerous staffing ratios, denial of medically necessary care, drug prices dictated by big pharma, and provider networks/employer plans that drive disparities and stifle freedom of choice.
I unequivocally call to abolish ICE and for immigration reform that includes a clear, just pathway to US citizenship. We are not safer when our government rips our communities and families apart; La Migra is a modern day KKK. And I believe our national security depends on deep commitments at home and abroad. Our country originates from European settler colonialism still being built on the genocide of indigenous people and the labor of enslaved African people and their descendants. I support "landback" efforts to restore indigenous sovereignty; reparations for African Americans e.g. via H.R. 40 and H.Res. 414; a focus on global climate change preparedness and response; and a free Palestine, starting with passing H.R. 3565.

My top priorities are lowering everyday costs for working families, protecting Social Security and Medicare, defending reproductive freedom, and safeguarding the right to vote. I bring more than two decades of results for my district. As a Member of the House Ways and Means Committee, I sit where the decisions on taxes, Social Security, and Medicare are made. I was a young single mother who relied on public assistance, and I have never forgotten where I came from. I understand the families I serve because I have lived their struggles, and I will keep fighting for a fair shot for every one of them.
Costs are too high, and families are working harder for less. On the Ways and Means Committee, I lead the fight to put money back in people's pockets. I championed an expanded, fully refundable Child Tax Credit with monthly payments, which cut child poverty to record lows and helped families cover rent, groceries, and child care. I will keep working to lower prescription drug prices, protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare, expand the Earned Income Tax Credit, build more affordable housing, and crack down on the predatory lending and junk fees that drain working families. I want a tax code that rewards work, not just wealth.
The right to vote is the foundation of everything else, and it is under attack. I am a proud cosponsor of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would restore the protections the Supreme Court stripped away and again require states with a history of discrimination to clear voting changes with federal officials. I also support the Freedom to Vote Act to set national standards for early voting, vote by mail, automatic and same-day registration, and an end to extreme partisan gerrymandering. No eligible American should face purges or barriers built to silence their voice. I will keep fighting until every vote is protected.
Health care is a right, not a privilege. I will protect and build on the Affordable Care Act, lower premiums and prescription drug costs, and defend Medicaid and Medicare from cuts. On reproductive care, I remember life before Roe, and we are not going back. I am fighting to codify the right to abortion through the Women's Health Protection Act, protect access to contraception through the Right to Contraception Act, and safeguard IVF and fertility care so families can decide what is right for them. These are private decisions that belong to patients and their doctors, not politicians. Every Wisconsinite deserves affordable, accessible care.
We can be a nation that is both safe and humane. Right now we are neither. This administration promised to target the worst of the worst, but instead it is separating families, detaining people who have legal status, and sweeping up hardworking neighbors who pay taxes and enrich our communities. I voted no on writing a blank check for these cruel mass deportations. I support a tough but fair pathway to citizenship, protecting Dreamers and DACA recipients, defending due process and the right to a fair hearing, and keeping families together. Real security focuses enforcement on actual threats and stopping trafficking, not on the families and workers who call Milwaukee home.
