E-Updates

I was honored to speak at the Denmark FFA Annual Awards Banquet last weekend! These students are truly a dedicated and accomplished group strongly supported by the community....

A flurry of bills have made their way to the Governor's desk since my last update. As you'll see, we've had some wins in the 1st Senate District, but we've also had some head-scratching disappointments as well. For example, the Governor vetoed middle class tax cuts for the third time - even...

I wanted to provide an update on several of the initiatives I’m working on for you in 2024, including: broad-based tax relief for Wisconsin families, protecting our children from sex traffickers, empowering our disabled citizens, and keeping our families safe.

It was a privilege for me to testify alongside Hollis Brown, 2022 Miss Wisconsin USA, at a Senate hearing last week in support of the “Justice for Sexual Assault Survivors Act,” which I authored to prevent a future backlog of untested sexual assault kits. Hollis is not only a Miss Wisconsin USA; she is also a sexual assault survivor, and a powerful voice who has focused her platform on survivor advocacy, and how to find strength after unimaginable trauma.
