Biographical Information
Please describe your priorities for your term in office and your specific qualifications to effectively address those issues.
What do you see as the most pressing housing-related issue in Wisconsin, and what policies, if any, would you support to address the issue?
What redistricting process, if any, do you believe the legislature should put in place before the next national census to ensure fair representation for voters?
What, if anything, will you do to ensure our schools have the resources to improve outcomes for its students, including those with disabilities?
What guardrails, if any, would you support to protect our environment, health, property values, and household budgets from large projects such as hyperscale data centers and Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs)?
Oppose new data center construction.
Fund public schools--work to restructure voucher program, leaving some resources for home-schooling.
Reduce property taxes by raising taxes on the wealthiest Wisconsinites and largest corporations. Make everyone pay their fair share.
Legalize cannabis for medical use/research at the bare minimum.
Corporate landlords creating false scarcity in the market through raising rent on people who can't afford it.
Right now, housing policy--when there is any, incentivizes the construction of housing for higher income Wisconsinites. We need to fundamentally change housing policy to mandate construction of housing for low income and middle class Wisconsinites.
We need to make home ownership possible for working people through expanding the state's no interest loans for first-time homebuyers' down payments.
All redistricting should be done by an independent counsel based on census results. The current maps are an improvement over the heavily gerrymandered maps prior to 2024.
Release the money from the state's public education funds. End the siphoning of public money to charter and private schools that aren't required to accommodate students with disabilities and don't pay teachers a high enough wage.
End new data center construction.
Increase funding from the state to the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship program.
Increase funding to State Parks and the DNR.
CAFOs must be limited in size and concentration of locales to limit impacts of effluence on watersheds.
