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)?
Act 10 repealed would be a great start. Treating the workers in Wisconsin as "less important" through union busting or roadblocks to fair negotiations must be ended. Also, stop the State's "Right to Work" laws holding back true wages and opportunity for advancement.
Affordable housing would be helped with fairer wages. Plus, low income housing should be a priority throughout Wisconsin. The first home purchase should help set the tone for better things to come. Fair market access to all neighborhoods should be the goal.
A non-partisan committee using the least awkward drawings and make the effort north to south and east to west.
End the voucher funds for private schools. Taxes collected should be used for "Public" schools. My parents paid for my tuition for private catholic grade school grades 1-8. If you want a private school education, pay for it yourself. With the focus on "Public" schools funded by the public more attention and focus on student special needs and disabilities.
Regulations are a good thing. This is where citizens must be vigilant. If you see something unexplained, ask questions. Contact your representative and get answers. Democracy is a participant sport. Get into it...
