Working for you!

A Responsible Investment

Yesterday, Kimberly-Clark announced that they will remain in our community and invest up to $200 million in their Cold Spring facility over the next five years, thanks to a responsible and timely $28 million tax incentive plan authorized by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC). Kimberly-Clark's state of the art plant will continue to produce adult care and feminine care consumer products for distribution throughout North American long into the future. The decision to keep the facilty open will ensure the continued employement of nearly 400 people and the thousands of other employees around the state that support its supply chain.

Foxconn Near Us

Foxconn has completed the purchase of a $9.25 million location in Green Bay that will house about 200 employees. Approximately 1,000 of the 13,000 jobs Foxconn has committed to creating in Wisconsin will be outside of its Mount Pleasant campus where it is building a $10 billion LCD manufacturing facility.

Working for Wisconsin Award

I'm honored to once again receive the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce (WMC) "Working for Wisconsin Award," for my record in the 2017-18 legislative session. Legislators earn the award in recognition for continued efforts to make Wisconsin a destination for new and expanding businesses. WMC is the state chamber of commerce and state manufacturers’ association, representing over 3,800 member companies, spanning all sectors of the economy.
