Freedom of Speech Week |
In honor of National Freedom of Speech Week
I’m highlighting the work we’re doing in the legislature to
protect freedom of expression in Wisconsin. As the chair of the
Assembly Colleges and Universities Committee, I’ve take a keen
interest in preserving free speech on our public college
campuses. It’s critical that the next generation of graduates
understand the value of civil dialogue versus silencing your
opponents.

Our Own Veterans
Village |

Wiltzius, Board Advisor and Capital Campaign Chair
We are incredibly fortunate to have an emerging gem in our
community. The Appleton area Veterans Village complex is the
first of its kind. The Village will offer affordable housing,
support and community to veterans in all life stages
within a veteran-centric culture. I was able to tour the work
in progress at the Veterans Career and Community Center and go
through a model apartment while we walked the grounds. In
addition to the services that will be offered here along with
housing, the location of the complex is ideal since it offers
veterans a number of resources within walking distance,
including the John H. Bradley Veterans Clinic, Fox Valley
Technical College, Fox Valley Veterans Council, and Tri-County
Dental. I look forward to seeing this completed and becoming
part of our terrific local community. If you'd like to learn
more, take a look at their

Immanuel Lutheran
School |
Many thanks to Principal Dick Huebner for
giving me a tour of the newly renovated and expanded Immanuel
Lutheran School in Greenville. K-12 education is a priority for
our state, and I enjoy seeing firsthand how our students and
schools work together to succeed. I've spent time in a variety
of schools in the Fox Valley over my years in the Assembly, and
it's always a privilege to hear what challenges and achievements
our schools experience as we educate the next generation.

Welcome!
I live in Greenville, but have an
office at the State Capitol in Madison. If you are in
downtown Madison, please feel free to stop by and say
hello! Just go to the information desk in the rotunda,
and they can direct you on how to find my office, 318
North. At the bottom of each e-update, you'll see my
office contact information.
If your school or group plans to tour the Capitol
building, please let me know in advance. I'd
love to visit with you for a few minutes and take a
group photo.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.
