The first thing I’m going to do when I’m seated in the House of Representatives is work with my fellow members and introduce Articles of Impeachment against Donald Trump and his cabinet. What’s the point of passing any new legislation when this administration breaks the law, flouts the Constitution, and ignores the will of the people every single day? We are a nation of laws, not men.
I’m running for Congress because as my grandson gets older, I want to be able to look him in the eye and tell him I did everything in my power to make this a better place for him, so he can find a good job, find a place to live, and raise his family here. My qualifications are that I’m a long-time, everyday Wisconsin resident who is fed up with the status quo.
The U.S. does not have a money problem. We have a priority and allocation problem. We need to fund the things that make family life possible. Affordable healthcare, paid family leave, and accessible childcare should not be considered perks.
If we want young people to stay in this district and build something here, we have to give them an actual reason to stay. That means well-funded schools, job training programs that connect to real careers, and a local economy with something to offer the next generation.
We need to kill the tariffs, stop the illegal war in Iran, tax the ultra-wealthy and large corporations, invest in renewable energy, adopt sensible trade policies, and strengthen our safety net for under-served and struggling families.
Oppose passing the SAVE Act that places unnecessary burdens on citizens exercising their right to vote. Oppose Postal Service regulations that interfere with registering and voting via the mail. Stop weaponization of DOJ and DHS to coerce states to hand over their voters lists and purge their voter rolls.
Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Make Election Day a national holiday. Reform and fund the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to enable effective investigations and credible enforcement actions.
Pass federal redistricting legislation and move to amend the Constitution to strike down Citizens United. Voters should choose their representatives – not politicians picking their voters. Money is not speech and corporations are not people.
The 7th District is the most rural in Wisconsin and requires more funding per capita than urban areas to deliver modern healthcare services. We need to fund hospital and clinic development so people don’t have to drive for hours to receive regular and emergency care. We need to implement loan relief programs and immigration policies to recruit doctors and nurses. We need to raise wages for our assisted care workers. We also must not leave our veterans or Native communities behind.
Reproductive healthcare is healthcare; no if’s, and’s, or but’s. We need to repeal the Hyde Amendment that prohibits federal funding for abortion care. Women have the right to make their own decisions about their body, having children, and raising a family.
Reinstate asylum programs. Reform employment visas so they reflect the needs of our economy. Create a real and clear path to citizenship. Hire enough immigration judges so people aren’t waiting for their cases to be heard for years on end. The immigration system in this country is genuinely broken and it has been for a long time. Terrorizing immigrant communities with ICE raids is not a solution. Fixing the system is.
Abolish ICE. The culture is broken, the tactics are lawless, and the institutional contempt for due process and human dignity runs too deep to patch up with new leadership and a fresh coat of paint. Build something from scratch that follows the Constitution, obeys the law, and treats human beings like human beings.

Our next Congress will face tremendous challenges and will have to get to work quickly and effectively to restore a functioning government. My top three priorities in office include:
1). Reforming our health care systems to assure health care for all.
2). Stabilizing our economy and ensuring life is more affordable for working Americans.
3). Restoring constitutional protections and norms and addressing corruption through ethics reforms and accountability.
Our next Congress will have a lot to do in a short time. I am the only candidate in the 7th CD race with prior legislative experience and my time living, working, and representing rural communities in Wisconsin will allow me to enter office ready to go to work on day one.
Investing in small business and rural economic development for n
An expanded Child Tax Credit for families with children and incomes under $150,000.
Increasing federal investment in child care subsidies to make childcare affordable.
Expanding the National Housing Trust Fund to provide resources for affordable housing.
Creating incentives to increase the supply of affordable housing.
Restoring an antitrust agenda at the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice to prevent corporate monopolies from stifling price competition.
Restoring the independence of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to enforce standards on predatory business behavior.
Legislation to clarify that states have responsibility to manage elections.
Restore and strengthen civil rights protections in a new Voting Rights Act.
Legislation to assure that the Post Office deliver ALL mailed ballots without delay.
Oppose any legislation like the SAVE ACT that would dis-enfranchise voters.
In Congress I will support:
Protecting, expanding, and strengthening Medicare and Medicaid. Expand Medicare to lower age limits in stages and increase levels of coverage.
Reforming and renaming Medicare Advantage.
Providing a public health care option available for everyone.
Requiring Medicare to negotiate with drug makers to make prescription drugs affordable.
Ensuring that mental health care is treated and prioritized equally with physical health.
Ensuring access to reproductive care, contraception, and the full scope of maternal and reproductive health care in federal law.
Ensuring access and funding for preventative health, maternal care, pre-natal and post-natal care, for women of all ages and incomes.
In Congress I will support:
Focusing immigration enforcement on keeping violent criminals off of our streets, not harassing legal immigrants while executing mass, quota-driven deportations.
Securing the border with better technology, ensuring safe and humane treatment for every person apprehended at the border, and investing in modernized ports of entry.
Requiring federal law enforcement officers to wear their uniforms and show their faces.
Reforming our visa programs so that farms, manufacturers, and service businesses can complement their labor force with legal immigrant workers.
Reforming the asylum process so that immigrants with legitimate fear for their lives or their families can enter America legally and have their

1) Defending Democracy: my 30 year award winning legal career includes service as prosecutor, defender, and court official, which uniquely qualifies me for calling out government officials violating the constitution and committing crimes. My goal is to join fellow lady leaders already serving on the oversight committee to demand accountability and consequences for such violations.
2) Advocating for the District: my experience advocating for the best interest of children and families in court uniquely qualifies me to do so in DC. Conversations with constituents cause me to prioritize: fully funded schools, affordable access to quality healthcare including all reproductive care, affordable housing, and protecting our environment.
1) Scrap the cap
2) Federal funding for first-time home buyers using reduced interest rates and manageable mortgage payments (graduated payments)
3) Federal funding to renovate vacant buildings into affordable housing (including low-income and assisted living)
4) Increase minimum wage
5) Student loan forgiveness for government and non-profit professionals
6) Enforce anti-trust laws to support mom & pop businesses
7) Remove tax breaks for billionaires
8) Advocate for term limits and restrictions on dark money so working families, not corporations, are better represented in government
9) Fully fund public schools
1) Require state bar associations to train and provide legal observers to assist poll workers on election day
2) Constitutionally protected access to polling places of differently-abled citizens
3) Federally funded, independent, and mandatory random election equipment inspections
4) Mandatory provisional ballots for any challenged vote
5) Presumption that upon proof of identity, citizenship, and residence all votes are valid
6) Prohibit additional restrictions or requirements to vote (like the SAVE Act)
As a daughter, mother of two daughters, and family lawyer I will zealously advocate for access to affordable quality healthcare for all, and for all reproductive care. The pro-life vs pro-choice controversies become far more manageable when we offer options to prevent unwanted pregnancies, which is a right every human capable of bearing children deserves. I will collaborate with my colleagues to find a mutually acceptable means to obtain affordable healthcare for all that does not compromise the quality of that care. That also requires incentives to acquire and sustain reputable treatment providers in rural communities. This includes fully funding VA facilities and all promised coverage, Medicare coverage, and Medicaid coverage.
1) Immigration reform is required to provide cost efficient and timely processing of naturalization applications which will allow our friends from foreign countries to become productive citizens and taxpayers including but not limited to farm workers.
2) Reform is required for protecting our borders: proper training is needed for those authorized to enforce our laws, including but not limited to mastery level understanding of due process, the freedom against unreasonable search and seizures, and the prohibition of illegal use of lethal force.
