I have been honored to serve the people of Racine since I was elected in 2018. In 2022, I was elected leader of the Wisconsin Assembly Democrats, and we successfully protected Governor Evers’ vetoes despite extremist Republicans’ efforts to move our state backwards. This year I’m running for re-election to strengthen our democracy, protect our rights and freedoms, invest in public schools, fight for working families, combat climate change, reduce racial disparities, and support affordable healthcare.
The most pressing housing issue in Wisconsin is the availability of affordable and workforce housing. Housing is a human right and for too many of our neighbors it is out of reach or so expensive that they struggle to make ends meet. This past session, legislative Democrats introduced numerous proposals to support first time homebuyers and restore protections for tenants. Unfortunately, these proposals were not taken up by the Republican-led legislature.
This past legislative session, Wisconsin took a huge step forward in finally ending the gerrymander that held our state hostage for over a decade. After many years of organizing by too many of us to name, Wisconsin finally has fair legislative maps. Although this is a massive achievement, we still have work to do to ensure future legislative maps are drawn fairly. I believe we must begin by looking at best practices being developed in other states to ensure legislators are not able to manipulate the process to benefit themselves and their parties. Although we can take lessons learned from other states, we will need to adopt a “Wisconsin model” to meet our state’s unique demographics and political make-up.
I was honored to serve on the Governor's 2019 Task Force on Climate Change, where we made a series of policy recommendations to put our state on the path to a sustainable future. As a legislator, I have also twice led the introduction of Forward on Climate, a large bill package that would support the transition to clean energy jobs, allow farmers to implement more sustainable practices, and address the disproportionate impact on communities of color from increasing extreme weather events and resource extraction, and more.
In the legislature I have consistently advocated for increased resources for our public schools. Over the last decade we have seen the vast expansion of the private voucher program, which siphons resources away from our public schools. This has had a profound impact on Racine’s schools and districts around the state. Next session, I will continue to advocate for a substantial increase in education funding, an increase in the special education reimbursement rate, increased mental health funding to support students, and programs to support the retention and training of teachers.
