I proudly represent Green Bay’s 90th Assembly District in the Wisconsin State Legislature. In my first term, I helped pass two bipartisan bills into law, hosted more than 30 town halls and community office hours, and fought for housing, public schools, workers, veterans, immigrants, and families across Green Bay.
I grew up with a teenage single mother who faced homelessness. We did not have much, but we had each other, and we had communities that showed up when it mattered most. That experience shaped my life. It is why I believe government can be a force for good, and it is why I fight the way I do.
I got my start in public service helping my mom organize for fair wages. We won. From there, I worked at every level of government, including as a Policy Advisor to U.S. Senator Ed Markey, overseeing AmeriCorps programming in Massachusetts, and later leading policy and communications as Chief of Staff to Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich.
As Chief of Staff, I helped lead some of the most important community projects in Green Bay’s recent history. I worked on the largest housing development project in the city’s history, turning 25 acres donated by JBS Food Group into plans for a new neighborhood with equitable housing, a destination park, and an urban farm. I founded the Green Bay Conservation Corps, the first municipally run Conservation Corps in Wisconsin history, putting residents to work improving their own community. I co-chaired the Greater Green Bay Chamber’s Diversity and Inclusion Task Force, helped secure the largest grant in United Way of Brown County history, and served as a founding board member of Green Bay Pride.
I also serve on the board of NeighborWorks Green Bay, because housing is not just a policy issue for me. It is personal. I also serve on the Stadium District Board, helping steward one of our greatest community assets, Lambeau Field, for the people of Green Bay and future generations.
In 2024, the people of the 90th District trusted me with the honor of representing them in the Wisconsin State Assembly. I did not wait to get to work.
In my first term, I helped pass two bipartisan laws. The Workforce Home Loan Program created zero-interest and low-interest home loan options to help working families with down payments, closing costs, and the chance to buy their first home. Another new law allows DACA recipients to obtain professional licenses in fields like health care and education, where Wisconsin urgently needs talented workers.
But this work has never been just about bills, I hosted more than 30 town halls and community office hours across Green Bay, fought federal cuts to the Green Bay Conservation Corps, helped keep more than 100 families housed after the closure of NEWCAP, advocated for veterans facing homelessness, and pushed to finally move the coal piles along the Fox River that have sat in our community for far too long.
When a billionaire tried to buy our local elections, I did not stay quiet. I organized with community members, demanded accountability, and introduced legislation to protect our democracy. When federal cuts threatened programs Green Bay families depend on, I fought back. That is not politics. That is what this job is supposed to look like.
I live in the Astor Park neighborhood with my husband William and our two dogs, Appa and Lambeau. Green Bay is home. Serving the 90th District is the honor of my life, and I am just getting started.
