Personal Pronouns she/her
Education funding, child care, housing, and property tax relief are some of the issues that I would prioritize if elected. I am currently Vice President of the Fond du Lac City Council and a Fond du Lac County Board Supervisor. I have developed leadership skills needed to understand the issues, collaborate with others, and evaluate solutions. I have government experience, so I am ready to get straight to work. And I’m not afraid to take a stand for my constituents and be their voice when things get tough. I’m running as an Independent, so my focus will be on what’s best for my District and for Wisconsin, not what is dictated by a political party. Wisconsin needs strong leaders ready to make real change, and I’m ready for the challenge.
We need to address housing affordability, which is primarily caused by a statewide housing shortage. Simply put, we need to build more housing of all kinds. At the local level in Fond du Lac, we’ve been making public investments in infrastructure to bring costs down for developers, which has increased housing developments locally, from single family homes to multi-family units. I would support similar efforts at the state level to spur housing development. We also need to address widespread homelessness seen across Wisconsin. We need more state support to local governments to get people into housing, with wraparound care to ensure people can stay housed, such as employment services or access to healthcare and behavioral support.
I fully support implementing an independent redistricting process, and I would advocate for the creation of an independent redistricting commission in Wisconsin. Politicians should not be allowed to choose their voters through partisan gerrymandering, which is what we see in our current redistricting process. This is bad for voters and bad for Wisconsin. We need to limit direct politician influence on our legislative maps. The ideal redistricting process would be transparent and impartial to ensure fair representation for voters.
Education is a major reason why I am running for Assembly. I have three children in public schools, and I work as a substitute teacher. I see firsthand how schools are struggling. We need to start by fixing the state’s funding formula so we can stop relying so heavily on local property taxes. We currently have a system that does not fund school districts equitably, and in communities where property taxpayers cannot afford to raise their own taxes through referendums, our children suffer because those districts see larger class sizes and fewer opportunities for students. We need to make state funding more equitable and sustainable. Wisconsin also needs to fully reimburse special education services, to ensure all student needs are being met.
Regarding data centers, we need to protect our state’s natural resources and ensure residents don’t end up footing the bill through increased energy rates or other hidden costs. We should develop statewide standards that regulate land and water use for data center development. Any tax incentives should have strict conditions. And we need energy rate classes that accommodate large-scale energy users so those costs aren’t passed on to residents. CAFOs similarly need to be regulated to protect neighboring landowners, and regulations need to focus on conservation practices that will protect Wisconsin’s land and water. Wisconsin’s natural resources are precious assets that belong to all of us and need to be protected for future generations.
