My priorities in the Assembly will be: adequately funding education at all levels in our state; improving access to healthcare and mental health services in our rural communities; protecting our natural environment for future generations; and preserving reproductive rights.
Housing availability and affordability are critical for families and the workforce in Wisconsin. I support the recent Bipartisan Housing Legislation Package and would like to explore ways to expand these efforts to increase housing availability. Additionally, increasing state funding for education would help reduce local property tax burdens – reducing the overall cost of home ownership – as districts have been increasingly reliant upon bond referendums over the last decade to cover ongoing costs of education (not just special projects, new programs or additional staff).
I support enacting laws to create an independent nonpartisan redistricting process so that no political party can gerrymander our voting maps. Our legislators must address the needs of the people and be accountable to the voters.
I support grant programs and other incentives to assist Wisconsin’s farmers in adopting long-term solutions to reduce carbon emissions, establishment of regional biodigesters to convert farm and other waste into biofuel, and increasing funding for local enforcement of environmental regulations.
The most important resource for schools is our teachers. We must adequately fund education from the state level to ensure that all districts can hire and retain the teachers they need. Additionally, the school voucher program has been siphoning much needed funds away from our public schools (primarily to religious based institutions) with no requirement that they serve students with disabilities, as exists for public instruction. This leaves our public schools struggling to address the special needs of these students with reduced resources.
