My priorities are improving educational outcomes, strengthening Wisconsin's workforce, encouraging responsible economic development, and making government more accountable to the people it serves.
As a Marine Corps veteran, small business owner, county board supervisor, coach, and volunteer, I have experience solving problems, and working with people from different backgrounds.
I'm running as an independent because too many issues are treated as partisan fights when Wisconsin families need practical solutions and leaders willing to work together.
Every Wisconsin resident should have access to affordable, high-quality health care regardless of where they live. I support improving access to primary care, mental health services, and maternal health care, especially in rural communities.
Decisions involving contraception, IVF, and pregnancy are deeply personal and should be made by patients, families, and medical professionals. Government should approach these issues with respect, humility, and a focus on protecting personal freedom while ensuring access to care.
I will support efforts that strengthen the health care workforce and help reduce costs for Wisconsin families.
Wisconsin schools cannot improve outcomes if they are continually asked to do more with less. We need predictable funding that allows districts to plan for the future instead of relying on recurring referendums.
We must recruit and retain outstanding teachers, support student mental health, expand workforce readiness programs, and ensure students with disabilities receive the services and resources they need to succeed.
State government should focus on supporting local schools and removing barriers rather than creating new ones.
Voters should choose their representatives, not the other way around. I support an independent and transparent redistricting process that removes direct partisan control from legislative mapmaking.
Any process should include public input, clear standards, open data, and meaningful oversight. Competitive elections strengthen accountability and public trust. Legislative districts should be drawn to provide fair representation for Wisconsin voters rather than to benefit any political party or incumbent elected official.
Wisconsin can welcome economic growth while protecting local communities and natural resources. Large projects such as hyperscale data centers and CAFOs should be evaluated using transparent standards that consider water use, environmental impacts, infrastructure demands, energy consumption, property values, and costs to local taxpayers. Residents deserve a meaningful voice in decisions that affect their communities.
I support strong environmental safeguards, clear permitting processes, local input, and accountability measures that ensure benefits outweigh the costs.
