Hello,

In 2017, I authored legislation signed by the Governor which opened the door for the recycling of plastics that formerly were not being recycled. As a result, Wisconsin municipalities could see new jobs headed their way.

Brightmark, a company out of San Francisco, has announced a nationwide search for new plastic recycling sites. They expect to invest $500 million to $1 billion in its next facility.

​These facilities can produce new fuels, wax, and other products from currently non-recycled plastics. That means non-recyclable items such coffee cup lids, hotel room keys, and beef jerkey wrappers can be turned into fuel rather than being dumped into our landfills.

I hope Wisconsin is given a close look when companies like Brightmark look for sites to expand.

Celebrating Veterans Day at Lincoln High School

Veterans Day is a time to celebrate and honor those in our communities who have served our country in the past and who are currently serving. The freedoms that we enjoy everyday comes at a cost that our veterans have paid for. 

Tomorrow on Friday, November 7th I will be attending the Veterans Day ceremony at Lincoln High School. This event aims to honor those currently serving, those who have served, or who have paid the ultimate price in protecting our country. 

This event is open to the public.  Doors open at 9:30 am and the event starts at 10:15 am. I hope to see you there.
