Wisconsin State Assembly District 30

Campaign priorities & governance: “I remember vividly the day my wife Angel and I made the decision to start our business in River Falls. We had nothing and nothing to fall back on. It would be a turning point that helped shape so much of who and what I am today. A dream. Commitment. Creativity. Tenacity. Now, twenty plus years later and more scars than I care to share, I am so appreciative to the many great people of western Wisconsin that made our dream, their dream.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Taxes, budget & cost of living: “The District 30 Dream represents those things most near and dear to my heart. Those things that will help us all. I’ve been active, involved and listened. Western Wisconsin fuses the best of all things Wisconsin. Building upon the progress made, we cannot rest. I imagine a place where Education and Entrepreneur are celebrated and Businesses emerge and flourish. Taxes are reduced. Sporting heritage made to flourish. Our quality of life is both made better and becomes sustainable.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Taxes, budget & cost of living: “Successful economic enhancement requires not just jobs, but good careers. Careers that support our quality of living here in the western Wisconsin. It also requires having the local talent to fill those jobs. I will draw on my experience in building successful businesses to shape a future for us that delivers this. A robust economy and workforce also enables tax relief and reform. Now is the time to reduce income tax which will keep retirees in Wisconsin, encourage graduates to stay and put more money in your pocket.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Energy, environment & agriculture: “A resident of Hudson, WI, I grew up working summers on my uncle’s Iowa dairy farm, where I learned the value of hard work and service. That sense of duty led me to the U.S. Army, then to teaching, and now public service in the Wisconsin Assembly. I'm married to my wife of 30 years, Jill, and am the proud father of two sons.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Public education & schools: “I am running for the Wisconsin Assembly because I believe our state needs practical, principled leadership that puts people ahead of politics and problem-solving ahead of partisanship. My life experiences—as a teacher, veteran, outdoorsman, and parent—have shaped a clear understanding of what works, what doesn’t, and what Wisconsin families actually need from their government.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Taxes, budget & cost of living: “I identify as a Democrat, but I have long believed that both sides of the aisle are made up of good people with legitimate concerns. Spending my childhood summers on a family farm taught me that hard work, responsibility, and respect for the land are not partisan values. That perspective drives my belief that government should be thoughtful, limited, and effective—stepping in where it truly helps and staying out where it doesn’t belong.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
