This week, I had the privilege to honor Brillion's Police Chief, Jo Ann Mignon, with a WI Assembly Citation for her years of service in law enforcement and to the Brillion community. On behalf of a grateful community, I would like to thank Chief Mignon for her 26 years of service to the Brillion community and wish her many years of continued success in her future!

Standing Up For Fox Valley Workers
This week, I joined many of my legislative colleagues in northern Wisconsin in signing a letter urging the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development not to close two unemployment insurance hearing offices located in Appleton and Eau Claire. Currently, only four unemployment insurance offices exist in Wisconsin.
