One of the most essential elements to a strong and healthy democracy is the Freedom of Speech: your ability to speak without fear of retribution; your ability to have your voice heard and be properly represented in our democracy; your ability to make informed decisions about your own life.
INvesting in Public Education
A robust public education system is an essential cornerstone of our democracy. It is important that our education system produces not just a prosperous workforce but also well-informed citizens with the critical thinking skills to participate meaningfully in our democracy and civic life.
In Madison, I will fight for proven best practices and the proper funding to carry them out, in order to uphold state education standards.

Ensuring that your vote counts
Your vote is one of the most effective ways to make your voice heard. Your ability to cast your vote and have your vote counted is paramount to our democracy. We need to put an end to unfounded doubts about the integrity of our election results and ensure that your voice is heard at all levels of government.
Returning Control to our local communities
You have more say at the local level of government than any other level. Municipal government has the capability to be the most responsive to the needs and values of our communities. We should be able to make decisions to invigorate our local economy and protect our natural resources.
Wisconsin strictly limits the control that local communities have in making their own decisions, including prohibiting municipalities from increasing the local minimum wage, placing additional environmental protections, and adjusting the tax levy.
I support local government and your freedom to have direct say in issues that will affect you.

Revitalizing our local Media
"FAKE NEWS!" A phrase we have all grown familiar with over the last 8 years. Distrust of our media is growing, and with that distrust we are developing echo chambers that increase political polarization. Conglomerate news organizations are slowly buying out our local newspapers, decreasing their responsiveness to local issues.
In the legislature, I will support independent local news media.
