Personal Pronouns he, him
I would protect women’s rights, workers’ rights, Social Security and Medicare. I would support the bipartisan compromise Senate bill, which tackled the immigration problem with dignity and due process. I would support legislation to ensure clean air and clean water. I possess extensive experience as a bank lawyer, a financial negotiator and an advocate.
Every woman has the personal and fundamental right to make her own decisions about her life, including access to contraception, invitro fertilization and abortion. The incumbent, Representative Glenn Grothman, opposes her right. He voted against: • Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2021 • Pregnant Workers Fairness Act of 2022 • Women’s Health Protection Act of 2022 • Ensuring Access to Abortion Act of 2022 • Right to Contraception Act 2022 • Respect for Marriage Act of 2022

I would have voted for these bills.
I would support the bipartisan compromise Senate bill, which tackled the immigration problem with dignity and due process. This compromise bill: • Ends “Catch and Release” • Rapidly Adjudicates Migrants’ Claims • Increases Border Agent Hiring: • Institutes Strict Asylum Screening
The overarching goal of the federal fiscal policy should be a balance between generating sufficient revenue and promoting economic growth.

Businesses and governments operate in inverse cycles. In prosperous times, businesses borrow money and expand; in lean times, businesses retire debt and consolidate.

In prosperous times, the government should raise business taxes, capital gains taxes, excise taxes on stock buybacks and reduce debt. In lean times, the government should cut individual income taxes and increase debt.

The result would be a balanced fiscal policy and economic growth.
Wisconsin’s 6th Congressional District is home to about 8,000 farms, most of which are family owned, with approximately 1 million acres of farmland. I would support regenerative agriculture legislation, such as: • Bipartisan Natural Climate Solutions Research and Extension Act of 2023 - Advancing land management practices that store carbon or reduce greenhouse gas emissions in agricultural lands and soils, grasslands, wetlands, and forests. • Soil Conservation And Regeneration Education Act of 2023 - a training program on the evolving methodologies, science, and practices of biological soil health management systems on agricultural land.

With education and training, the farms of the 6th CD would be more profitable and resilient to extreme weather events.
