Campaign priorities & governance: “After years of dealing with the failings of a once iconic city, a while back, my wife and I, like many others, decided it was time to settle down in a community with clean, safe, and quiet streets with other hard-working and loving families. But now, we are dealing with the chaos of the city bleeding into our community.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Campaign priorities & governance: “Wisconsin needs a tested fighter for public safety and the interests of the common man, woman, and child, to bridge the gap between Madison and local governments. All I ask is you give me a chance to hear your concerns and what you want to see from your representative.”

Campaign priorities & governance: “My parents were deeply involved in our community, and they taught me about a tradition of Wisconsin leadership that put working people first. Leaders like Robert La Follette and Gaylord Nelson believed government should work for everyday people, not just the wealthy or well-connected. Those values stuck with me, and they’re part of what led me to choose a life of service.”
