Dark money in politics is the number one issue affecting how government serves its citizens. It buys politicians and influences legislation that hurts the working class. Affordable healthcare, a good education, a clean environment, and adequate housing are all tarnished by the Citizens United- like Supreme Court rulings that deem corporations, people and money, free speech. This has to change. Hawaii passed bipartisan legislation to re-write corporate charters to limit corporations from spending unlimited sums of money in elections. Montana is doing the same. The people of Wisconsin can act. My background in science and problem solving will help me to initiate and pass legislation that will address this problem of dark money in elections.
We are the only developed country that allows profit to be part of the healthcare system. Corporations are designed to maximize profit and are motivated to deny healthcare to our citizens. A universal, single payer health care system is the answer to most issues in improving the healthcare system. We need to expand Medicaid in Wisconsin and accept Federal funds. Supporting doctors that want to serve in rural areas with grants and loan-forgiveness should also be initiated. Community health clinics and health cooperatives should be developed and supported especially in under-served and rural areas. I would oppose any legislation that would limit reproductive health care to any Wisconsinite. Doctors should be allowed to practice medicine.
Our public schools should be sufficiently funded so a student's education is not dependent on their zip code. It is time to stop funding our schools with property taxes. It is unfair to pit public education against the property tax payers. We have to restore sufficient state funds to our public schools and fully fund special ed programs. This would include stopping the flow of public taxpayer money to private schools. We need to make sure our teachers are property paid and allow them to participate in collective bargaining. Teachers need to be focused on teaching and not on how they are going pay their bills. We need to encourage our brightest students to become teachers. We need more state grants for students wanting to become teachers.
I would support legislation that would create a non-partisan district map committee who would develop State and Federal districts that were fair and equal. I would add a clause that the Federal portion of this legislation would become effective when and if a nation-wide fair maps plan was adopted. The clause would prevent any unfair advantage promoted by any political party.
The obvious guardrail would be removing dark money from our political system. It is especially important in rural areas where governmental units are struggling with budget shortfalls and the lack of resources. I would suggest a one-year moratorium on any future data center or CAFO until a set of rules could be developed to guide local officials on approving such facilities. We need time to have our existing rules catch up with the rapidly developing technology. We need to provide state assistance in guiding local municipalities through all the permitting processes and make sure any State mandate is a fully funded. Health and environmental impact statements need to required and the citizens living in the area need full disclosure.

My priority is lowering the cost of living. This requires helping municipalities fund needs without raising rates on current residents by converting vacant commercial spaces into housing or finding other proven solutions; directing state surpluses to shared revenue to fund schools, ending endless local referendums; and expanding the Homestead Tax Credit (SB 60) so seniors aren't priced out.
As a naturalized citizen with a master's in computer engineering and an intellectual property law degree, I am qualified for this job. I value hard work and education, and I will bring a collaborative, problem-solving approach to tirelessly serve Wisconsin’s 11th Senate District.
To build a growing population and strong economy, Wisconsin must protect healthcare. Young families won't put down roots here if government restricts their medical freedom.
IVF & Contraception: We must support couples building families. I support permanently shielding IVF from government bans, ensuring insurance coverage, and protecting fundamental access to contraception.
Reproductive Freedom: Complex medical decisions belong strictly between patients and doctors. I support permanent protections keeping politicians out of the exam room, ensuring doctors are never criminalized for handling severe pregnancy complications or saving a mother's life.
Wisconsin’s future depends on strong public education, but state underfunding unfairly shifts the burden to local property taxpayers. To ensure student success, I will prioritize state shared revenue to fully fund public schools and special education, ending our reliance on endless local referendums. Second, I demand voucher transparency; any institution taking public funds must be held to the same equal standards across the board as our public schools. Finally, we must expand childcare, treating early education as critical economic infrastructure to build a strong foundation and keep our workforce competitive.
Government must stop relying on deals that protect political careers instead of delivering results. Partisan gerrymandering allows politicians to pick their voters, rather than the other way around.
To ensure fair representation, I strongly support establishing an independent, non-partisan redistricting commission. Taking map-drawing power away from lawmakers and using objective criteria, like keeping municipalities intact, eliminates partisan manipulation. This forces representatives to compete on the quality of their ideas, not the safety of a rigged district.
Coupled with strict vote integrity, non-partisan redistricting guarantees political power remains exactly where it belongs: with the people.
We must balance economic growth with strict stewardship of our health, property, and natural resources. I support tech expansion, but hyperscale data centers require strict water and energy oversight. We must enforce the 2023 Tax Exemption law so incentives benefit Wisconsin, not just corporate bottom lines. For CAFOs and industrial facilities, we must hold polluters financially accountable so local taxpayers never foot the bill for clean-ups. Good corporate stewards respect their neighbors. By protecting resources, communities will thrive for decades instead of becoming toxic Superfund sites. We need permanent, structural fixes to protect our hometowns.
