Personal Pronouns He/Him
My priority is simple: make government work for people who too often feel forgotten by it. I grew up homeless, raised by a teenage single mother, and learned early that when community and good policy show up, lives can change. That is why I fight for housing, strong public schools, fair wages, safer communities, and a democracy where every voice counts. I have served at every level of government, from City Hall to the U.S. Senate to the State Capitol. In my first term, even in a time of deep division, I helped pass two bipartisan bills into law, hosted more than 30 community conversations, and fought for results people can feel.
The most pressing housing issue is that too many people are doing everything right and still cannot afford a safe, stable home. For the first time in modern history, the average first time homebuyer is 40, and the median homeowner is 56, making homeownership less accessible than it has been in generations. I know this personally. I grew up homeless, and my family became homeowners because community and good policy gave us a chance. That is why I authored and helped pass AB454, the Workforce Home Loan Program, to help working families bridge the gap to homeownership. I also support cutting red tape, investing in housing infrastructure, renter protections, nonprofit housing, and veterans housing.
Wisconsin should adopt an independent, transparent, nonpartisan redistricting process before the next census. Gerrymandering gave us some of the most broken politics in the country because too many politicians stopped worrying about voters after they chose their own districts. That is why popular policies like banning partisan gerrymandering, fully funding public schools, expanding BadgerCare, and legalizing cannabis have been blocked even when they cross party lines. I support an independent commission, public hearings, clear criteria, and maps that protect communities of interest. We protect democracy by making sure people have a real voice in their government.
I will fight to fully fund public schools, restore special education funding, and make sure every student has what they need to thrive. I voted against the Republican budget because it left schools abandoned, municipal services underfunded, and failed Wisconsin families. I introduced legislation to fully fund our schools while reducing pressure on property taxpayers by asking millionaires and billionaires to pay more of their fair share. I have also pushed voucher transparency so taxpayers can see how much public money is being diverted to private voucher schools. I support increasing special education reimbursement, mental health services, educator pay, early childhood programs, and the support staff students rely on.
We can support economic development while protecting clean water, health, property values, household budgets, and local control. I cosponsored legislation to put those principles into policy by creating guardrails for large data centers, including transparency around energy and water use, protections for ratepayers, labor standards, and clearer expectations before communities are asked to absorb the impacts. That bill did not receive a hearing, but I stand by those principles. For CAFOs, I support stronger water testing, manure management, setbacks, groundwater protections, air and odor standards, and cleanup accountability. Good projects should meet strong standards.
