“My top priority is the cost of living squeezing Wisconsin families: affordable child care, housing relief, and fully funded public schools so communities aren't forced into constant referenda. As a member of the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, I'll protect and grow the Common School Fund that supports every public school library in the state. I'll also be a strong voice for the freedom to vote and for keeping this office accessible and transparent for the people it serves. I've spent my career delivering on these issues, and I'll bring that same focus to statewide office.”
“I'm running because too many Wisconsin families are doing everything right and still falling behind. I know what it means to stretch every dollar, and I've spent my career fighting for working people, from a decade in the State Assembly to two terms on the Milwaukee Common Council, where I led on affordable housing. This office may not come with sweeping powers, but it has a real platform and a seat managing over $1.3 billion in trust funds for our schools. I'll use every part of it to fight for affordable child care, housing, and fully funded public schools.”
“This office may not come with sweeping powers, but it comes with a platform — and I'll use it to fight for affordable child care, safe and stable housing, and better funding for our public schools”
