My agenda is simple proper representation for the working class of District 68.
I will fight to reform school funding to relieve property taxpayers, expand BadgerCare to cover working families, make childcare affordable for every parent, and hold corporations accountable for PFAS contamination destroying our land and water.
I am a 22 year old factory worker at Pella Corporation in Park Falls. I work alongside the people I am asking to represent every single day. I take zero corporate PAC money. No party bosses. No special interests.
Healthcare access and affordability, I will push for expanding BadgerCare to a public option so people can buy into the program if either their work provided insurance is unreliable or if other private insurance is simply unaffordable, and with the increase of people enrolling in BadgerCare we can further help support our rural hospitals.
I support a completely independent or third party agency drawing our maps to be more fair and equal.
I will look to reform Wisconsins school funding formula by shifting the reliance towards the states highest earners and corporations, increase special education reimbursement rates that currently leave school districts absorbing the costs that Madison promised to cover and strengthen aid to our rural schools compete fairly with the wealthier and urban schools.
I will support mandatory environmental impact reviews before any hyperscale data center or mega-CAFO receives approval, require polluters to fund remediation rather than taxpayers, strengthen DNR enforcement and CAFO spill notification requirements, and ensure communities have a real voice before these projects are approved.
