WHAT I’M FIGHTING FOR
Affordable Homes for Working Families
Too many Green Bay residents are being priced out of the homes and neighborhoods they love. 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. I will keep fighting to expand housing access so that owning a home in Green Bay is a real possibility for everyone, not just the wealthy few.
Fully Funded Public Schools and Lower Property Taxes
Our public schools have been underfunded for over 20 years, and Green Bay homeowners are paying for it on their property tax bills. I stood with our school district in a landmark lawsuit, led the fight for voucher transparency, and introduced legislation to fully fund our public schools while reducing pressure on local property taxpayers. This fight is not finished, and I will not stop until it is.
A Wage That Works
A full day’s work deserves a full day’s pay. Too many people in Green Bay are working hard and still struggling to make ends meet. I introduced legislation to raise Wisconsin’s minimum wage for the first time in 17 years, because no one working full time in this community should have to choose between groceries and rent. I will keep fighting until we get it done.
Holding Insurance Companies Accountable
People in Green Bay are being denied the care they need while insurance companies protect their profits. I authored legislation to hold insurers accountable for algorithm driven claim denials and to crack down on insurance companies that deny care at rates higher than what public options cover. Your doctor should make decisions about your health, not a corporate algorithm. I will keep fighting to put patients back in control of their own care.
Protecting Our Democracy
No billionaire should be able to buy our elections. When one tried right here in Green Bay, I organized a community protest, wrote letters demanding a formal investigation, and introduced legislation to protect our local democracy. I will keep fighting to end partisan gerrymandering, protect every voter’s rights, and make sure our democracy works for the people of Green Bay, not the powerful.
Legalizing Cannabis
It is time for Wisconsin to catch up. I backed legislation to legalize cannabis in Wisconsin because it means creating new jobs and tax revenue for our community, ending the criminalization of something legal in most of the country, and trusting adults to make their own decisions. I will keep fighting to make sure the benefits come back to communities like ours.
Reproductive Freedom
I trust the people of Wisconsin to make their own decisions about their own lives and bodies. I have sponsored multiple pieces of legislation to protect and restore reproductive freedom in Wisconsin, including a bill to repeal Wisconsin’s 1848 law, a relic of the 19th century that sought to ban all abortions in our state. Those decisions belong to you and your doctor, not politicians in Madison. I will never stop fighting to make that a reality.
GUARDRAILS FOR DATA CENTERS
Data centers are a serious and emerging issue for communities across Wisconsin. They affect utility rates, local infrastructure, and our natural resources. This is not about being against technology. It’s about making sure growth benefits our communities, not happens at their expense. I co-authored AB 722 to protect ratepayers from higher utility bills, require prevailing wages for data center workers, mandate renewable energy standards, and ensure water usage transparency. I voted against the Republicans’ rushed AB 840, which failed to include these protections. I will keep fighting to ensure that any large-scale data center development in Green Bay and Brown County comes with real accountability to the people who live here.
