Health care My daughter's Type 1 diabetes diagnosis at ten was heartbreaking. Navigating insurance, coping with costs and emergency situations made me aware of current policies. We must lower drug prices and take the Medicaid expansion in Wisconsin. Health Care Freedom My diabetic daughter chose to proceed with a pregnancy despite the risk. But they had a choice. Today that choice is gone. I will always advocate for healthcare decision to be between a woman and her doctor, no exceptions. Childcare As a working Mother, I wanted my children to have safe, dependable caregivers. Childcare must be accessible and affordable for all. We must fully fund the Child Care Counts program. Protecting Voting Rights and our Democracy Every eligible American has the right to vote. The process of voting should be safe, secure, and easy to accomplish. That is what I will advocate for. With my experience in business and education, I prioritize data analysis, problem-solving, and consensus-building
Affordability and shortages are critical housing issues in Wisconsin. I support Senator Tammy Baldwin's "Affordable Housing and Homeownership Protection Act," which proposes a transfer tax on large investors to build or rehabilitate over 300,000 houses nationwide. At the State level, Assembly Bills 264, 265, 267, and 268 address issues such converting vacant commercial buildings to housing, rehabilitating the second and third floors of retail spaces for housing, and providing loans for structural improvements for houses over 40 years old (designed for younger adults to buy homes). In addition to housing, these actions help our environment by reusing existing structures rather than using up more land. Policies which encourage both private and public cooperation to address housing issues like the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation are also of interest to me.
Wisconsin needs a permanent independent, nonpartisan redistricting process. Independent commissioners should be selected from across the state and be equally divided between the major political parties and independents. The commission should follow established rules for aligning maps; rules that promote political competition, and have reasonable, contiguous districts, and support all federal and state voting laws. Transparency of the commission should be one of its highest priorities. By adopting this type of state commission and following its suggestions, we can prevent gerrymandering and partisan predisposition.
A very hands-on initiative is President Biden’s American Climate Corp. The ACC will utilize young people to work conserving and restoring our lands and waters and implementing energy efficient technology. I will promote this Corp not only for its environmental impact, but also for the lengthy career path it affords. I am behind Tammy Baldwin’s efforts to bring dollars to Wisconsin to eliminate PFAS in our water and will support any action on that front. I support the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to preserve and restore our largest system of fresh water.
I will work to make sure that Wisconsin gets its share of the Inflation Reduction Act which contains more than $360 billion in energy programs, and also support this act which will help to reduce our carbon emissions. Any solution that protects acres of natural lands in any part of this beautiful state has my support.
If private voucher schools in Wisconsin are going to receive our tax dollars, then they must not discriminate against any student for any reason. Private voucher schools cannot deny admission to LGBTQ+ student or a person with a disability. But, according to the DPI, these schools are “only required to offer services to assist students with special needs that it can provide with minor adjustments.” Students attending voucher schools may legally be discriminated against due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. While public schools adhere to state-mandated curricula, private voucher schools have more flexibility in designing their own educational programs. This means that different versions of historical events can be taught (or just excluded). Books can be banned. Public voucher schools must not discriminate at any level, and they must follow the state-mandated curricula. If that cannot be met, then vouchers to private schools must cease.
