The first thing I’m going to do when I’m seated in the House of Representatives is work with my fellow members and introduce Articles of Impeachment against Donald Trump and his cabinet. What’s the point of passing any new legislation when this administration breaks the law, flouts the Constitution, and ignores the will of the people every single day? We are a nation of laws, not men.
I’m running for Congress because as my grandson gets older, I want to be able to look him in the eye and tell him I did everything in my power to make this a better place for him, so he can find a good job, find a place to live, and raise his family here. My qualifications are that I’m a long-time, everyday Wisconsin resident who is fed up with the status quo.
The U.S. does not have a money problem. We have a priority and allocation problem. We need to fund the things that make family life possible. Affordable healthcare, paid family leave, and accessible childcare should not be considered perks.
If we want young people to stay in this district and build something here, we have to give them an actual reason to stay. That means well-funded schools, job training programs that connect to real careers, and a local economy with something to offer the next generation.
We need to kill the tariffs, stop the illegal war in Iran, tax the ultra-wealthy and large corporations, invest in renewable energy, adopt sensible trade policies, and strengthen our safety net for under-served and struggling families.
Oppose passing the SAVE Act that places unnecessary burdens on citizens exercising their right to vote. Oppose Postal Service regulations that interfere with registering and voting via the mail. Stop weaponization of DOJ and DHS to coerce states to hand over their voters lists and purge their voter rolls.
Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Make Election Day a national holiday. Reform and fund the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to enable effective investigations and credible enforcement actions.
Pass federal redistricting legislation and move to amend the Constitution to strike down Citizens United. Voters should choose their representatives – not politicians picking their voters. Money is not speech and corporations are not people.
The 7th District is the most rural in Wisconsin and requires more funding per capita than urban areas to deliver modern healthcare services. We need to fund hospital and clinic development so people don’t have to drive for hours to receive regular and emergency care. We need to implement loan relief programs and immigration policies to recruit doctors and nurses. We need to raise wages for our assisted care workers. We also must not leave our veterans or Native communities behind.
Reproductive healthcare is healthcare; no if’s, and’s, or but’s. We need to repeal the Hyde Amendment that prohibits federal funding for abortion care. Women have the right to make their own decisions about their body, having children, and raising a family.
Reinstate asylum programs. Reform employment visas so they reflect the needs of our economy. Create a real and clear path to citizenship. Hire enough immigration judges so people aren’t waiting for their cases to be heard for years on end. The immigration system in this country is genuinely broken and it has been for a long time. Terrorizing immigrant communities with ICE raids is not a solution. Fixing the system is.
Abolish ICE. The culture is broken, the tactics are lawless, and the institutional contempt for due process and human dignity runs too deep to patch up with new leadership and a fresh coat of paint. Build something from scratch that follows the Constitution, obeys the law, and treats human beings like human beings.

My priorities center on rural economic support, government accountability, and constitutional principles. I support breaking the Farm Bill into smaller legislation, voluntary dairy checkoffs, housing zoning reform/deregulation, a moratorium on large-scale AI data centers, protecting Social Security without cuts, and enforcing the War Powers Resolution.
My qualifications stem from being the only candidate who has lived nearly the entirety of their life in district. I grew up on a dairy farm in Price County and watched my community lose nearly every small farm to consolidation. I hold a B.S. from Northland College and M.S. from UW-Stout, built a small business, serve on my town's planning commission working directly on zoning and land use, and brought $500,000 in economic impact to Onedia County.
I'm not taking any corporate PAC money while opponents have millions. That reflects how I will govern: accountable to this district, not donors or party leadership.
I support restoring congressional oversight and accountability over executive spending decisions, since unpredictable tariff policy made through executive order creates volatility that hurts farmers and small businesses trying to plan ahead.
I support a moratorium on large-scale AI data center development until federal standards protect ratepayers from rising energy costs, since two proposed Wisconsin projects alone could require power equal to 4.3 million homes in a state with only 2.8 million housing units.
On housing, I support zoning reform and reduced permitting costs to close the gap toward the 140,000 to 227,000 units Wisconsin needs by 2030.
On healthcare, I support PBM reform to protect local pharmacies, hospital merger oversight, and pricing transparency for medical procedures.
I also support getting corporate PAC money out of politics so economic policy serves working families, not donors.
I support Wisconsin's existing voter laws.
I believe election administration decisions like ID requirements should be determined at the state level rather than mandated federally, since states understand their own populations and access challenges better than Washington does.
I support efforts to modernize voter registration systems, ensure adequate polling locations and hours in rural areas where distances are greater, and protect mail-in and absentee voting options for those who cannot vote in person, including elderly voters and those serving in the military.
Election integrity and equal access are not in tension. Both matter, and good policy should achieve both rather than treating them as opposing goals.
I support PBM reform to address rising prescription costs and protect local pharmacies, stronger oversight of hospital mergers, and price transparency so patients can see what care costs before they receive it. These access and affordability barriers affect every Wisconsinite, including access to contraception, maternity care, and fertility treatment.
On abortion specifically, following Dobbs this is determined at the state level. Wisconsin law currently allows abortion up to 20 weeks post-fertilization. As a congressional candidate I do not believe it is my role to dictate state abortion policy anymore.
My focus in Congress will be on the affordability and access barriers within my actual jurisdiction.
I support securing the border and enforcing immigration law, with enforcement resources prioritized on illegal criminal immigrants who pose a genuine public safety threat. As of April 2026, 70.8% of ICE detainees had no criminal conviction. The immigration court backlog stands at 3.3 million cases with only 600 judges nationwide, and the administration fired 100 judges in 2025, making the backlog worse. That is not a system. It is a failure that denies due process to everyone caught in it.
I support fully funding immigration courts so cases are processed fairly and efficiently, due process for every person regardless of status, and legitimate pathways for those fleeing persecution, family-based immigration, and workforce needs.
National security and humane treatment are not in conflict. A functional, fully resourced system achieves both.

Our next Congress will face tremendous challenges and will have to get to work quickly and effectively to restore a functioning government. My top three priorities in office include:
1). Reforming our health care systems to assure health care for all.
2). Stabilizing our economy and ensuring life is more affordable for working Americans.
3). Restoring constitutional protections and norms and addressing corruption through ethics reforms and accountability.
Our next Congress will have a lot to do in a short time. I am the only candidate in the 7th CD race with prior legislative experience and my time living, working, and representing rural communities in Wisconsin will allow me to enter office ready to go to work on day one.

Securing the border with better technology, ensuring safe and humane treatment for every person apprehended at the border, and investing in modernized ports of entry.
Requiring federal law enforcement officers to wear their uniforms and show their faces.
Reforming our visa programs so that farms, manufacturers, and service businesses can complement their labor force with legal immigrant workers.
Reforming the asylum process so that immigrants with legitimate fear for their lives or their families can enter America legally and have their

My priorities are restoring fiscal responsibility, strengthening our economy, supporting veterans, securing our border, and ensuring rural Wisconsin communities have the infrastructure, housing, and workforce they need to thrive.
I bring a unique combination of experience to Congress. I am a Marine Corps veteran, former Iranian hostage, small business owner, financial advisor, adjunct university instructor, and former local elected official. I have spent my career helping families, business owners, and communities solve real-world problems. I understand the challenges facing rural Wisconsin because I have lived and worked here for more than 40 years. I will bring practical experience, accountability, and a focus on results to Washington.
Wisconsin families need lower costs, higher wages, and greater economic opportunity. I support reducing unnecessary regulations, expanding domestic energy production, modernizing permitting processes, and making it easier for businesses to invest and create jobs in Wisconsin.
I also support policies that increase workforce and affordable housing in rural communities, strengthen American manufacturing, improve access to workforce training, and promote responsible fiscal policies that reduce inflationary pressures. Washington cannot spend its way to prosperity. A strong economy is built by workers, entrepreneurs, farmers, and small businesses when government creates a stable environment for growth and opportunity.
Every eligible citizen should have the opportunity to vote, and every lawful vote should be counted accurately. I support maintaining accessible voting options while ensuring election integrity through clear and consistent rules.
I support voter identification requirements, accurate voter rolls, accessible absentee voting, accommodations for military and disabled voters, and timely election administration. Public confidence in elections depends on both access and integrity. We should make it easy to vote and hard to cheat, while ensuring all qualified voters are treated fairly and equally under the law.
Healthcare should be affordable, accessible, and patient-centered. I support increasing competition, improving price transparency, expanding access to rural healthcare providers, strengthening telehealth services, and protecting Medicare and Social Security for current and future retirees.
On reproductive healthcare, I support ensuring women have access to quality healthcare services while also respecting the value of human life. These issues are deeply personal and often involve difficult circumstances. I believe public policy should promote both compassion and support for women, children, and families while encouraging respectful dialogue among people who hold differing views.
America has a long tradition of welcoming legal immigrants and refugees who follow our laws and contribute to our communities. At the same time, every nation has a responsibility to maintain secure borders and enforce its immigration laws.
I support securing the border, improving legal immigration processes, reducing backlogs, and ensuring that asylum claims are reviewed fairly and efficiently. Individuals should be treated with dignity and respect throughout the immigration process. We can be both compassionate and secure by maintaining an orderly legal system that protects national security while preserving America’s tradition as a nation of opportunity.

1) Defending Democracy: my 30 year award winning legal career includes service as prosecutor, defender, and court official, which uniquely qualifies me for calling out government officials violating the constitution and committing crimes. My goal is to join fellow lady leaders already serving on the oversight committee to demand accountability and consequences for such violations.
2) Advocating for the District: my experience advocating for the best interest of children and families in court uniquely qualifies me to do so in DC. Conversations with constituents cause me to prioritize: fully funded schools, affordable access to quality healthcare including all reproductive care, affordable housing, and protecting our environment.
1) Scrap the cap
2) Federal funding for first-time home buyers using reduced interest rates and manageable mortgage payments (graduated payments)
3) Federal funding to renovate vacant buildings into affordable housing (including low-income and assisted living)
4) Increase minimum wage
5) Student loan forgiveness for government and non-profit professionals
6) Enforce anti-trust laws to support mom & pop businesses
7) Remove tax breaks for billionaires
8) Advocate for term limits and restrictions on dark money so working families, not corporations, are better represented in government
9) Fully fund public schools
1) Require state bar associations to train and provide legal observers to assist poll workers on election day
2) Constitutionally protected access to polling places of differently-abled citizens
3) Federally funded, independent, and mandatory random election equipment inspections
4) Mandatory provisional ballots for any challenged vote
5) Presumption that upon proof of identity, citizenship, and residence all votes are valid
6) Prohibit additional restrictions or requirements to vote (like the SAVE Act)
As a daughter, mother of two daughters, and family lawyer I will zealously advocate for access to affordable quality healthcare for all, and for all reproductive care. The pro-life vs pro-choice controversies become far more manageable when we offer options to prevent unwanted pregnancies, which is a right every human capable of bearing children deserves. I will collaborate with my colleagues to find a mutually acceptable means to obtain affordable healthcare for all that does not compromise the quality of that care. That also requires incentives to acquire and sustain reputable treatment providers in rural communities. This includes fully funding VA facilities and all promised coverage, Medicare coverage, and Medicaid coverage.
1) Immigration reform is required to provide cost efficient and timely processing of naturalization applications which will allow our friends from foreign countries to become productive citizens and taxpayers including but not limited to farm workers.
2) Reform is required for protecting our borders: proper training is needed for those authorized to enforce our laws, including but not limited to mastery level understanding of due process, the freedom against unreasonable search and seizures, and the prohibition of illegal use of lethal force.
