We must fix the mess we've allowed Public Education to become. A former teacher and current School Board member, I see the path we are on can only continue to weaken our schools. The State needs to clarify it's part in funding Public Schools and then maintain its share.

We also need to improve employee protections. Wisconsin once led the nation in this because we knew strong labor protections built a strong workforce with stable futures.

We need to be bold enough to pass an anti-gerrymandering amendment and then send it to the voters to consider. I would also work to get Wisconsin in the Popular Vote Compact to end the mess that the electoral college has become.

Restore the Knowles-Nelson Fund!
Availability of affordable housing is the top issue. The patchwork approach of letting each municipality solve it isn't working and the rental rates that are so high that people cannot afford to save up a down payment only help the landlords.

We need to support WHEDA to create more home owners. We ought to look at price controls on charged rent based on what is earnable in the area.

Of course, we also have to address the current minimum wage, with a plan to step it up to something more reasonable. when fastfood joints don't pay minimum wage, you know it's out of touch with reality.
The more you screw around with voting districts, the more you drive people to vote out of anger than anything else. We need the State Constitution amended to prohibit gerrymandering and we need to establish an independent commission to set the lines based on simple, non-partisan rules. The proposed map can then be challenged by voters, but not elected officials.
I will work for public funds to spent only on public schools. I will fight for laws that codify the State's share of Public School funding with a mechanism for the public to challenge the State should it fail to meet it's promises.

Specifically to Special Education, we need a way to fully measure the needs statewide for this and then find a way to pay for all special needs at all public schools. The use of local school district funds to cover special education needs at private schools is killing district budgets and simply not efficient.
There is a need to balance local control and possible state wide harm in these matters. I am a strong supporter of local control so I would be cautious. That said, I fear that Data and AI centers are just the next big fad that will leave lasting scars and vacant buildings across Wisconsin. We need provisions to ensure that the undoing of this stuff is their responsibility and they can't just close the doors and disappear into the night. I am a big supporter of the Family Farm so I'm not crazy about CAFOs. If they are welcomed locally with STRONG environmental protections and rules about living wages and reclamation if they close up, I could see them working.
