“It’s an honor to be chosen by the people of the 5^th Senate District to represent them in Madison. My priorities include providing excellent constituent services, lowering the tax burden and reducing the footprint of government, and making sure state agencies work better for the citizens they’re meant to serve.

“My staff and I are here to serve. I encourage residents of the 5^th District to contact my office for assistance navigating state government agencies and to share their thoughts on matters before the State Senate. I look forward to serving the district for the next four years.”
