Introducing the Foster Care Task Force
Last week
the Speaker's Task Force on Foster Care kicked off our state tour in
Madison. I'm excited to travel around the state and hear more input from
those involved in the child welfare system. I will keep you up to
date on future meetings. Below is a video introducing
the task force. Click the image to watch!
If you are interested in more detailed
updates on the task force, you can head to our website where there will
be hearing recaps and a schedule of future events:

Seawall Video
This week
I came across a drone video that highlights the boardwalk along the
river seawall in Kewaunee. The funding for the seawall was one of my key
achievements from last session and I could not be more excited to see
the community development around it. For some background on the seawall
and all that went into it, you can read this
article from 2016.

Annual
Door County Fair
This
weekend is the conclusion of the annual Door County Fair. This is a wonderful
event for families that includes music, animals, competitions, rides and
lots of great food! The event has been expanded this year to include
even more entertainment and will feature local talents. I am most
excited for the 4-H Junior Fair Exhibit. I encourage everyone who has
the chance to come down and enjoy the festivities. You can head to the
fair's website for more information:
