Campaign priorities & governance: “I am running for the 25th State Senate District because I understand the issues facing northwest Wisconsin. It is time for Wisconsin to work for working people.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Campaign priorities & governance: “We can do better. I’ve been in local government for 15 years, taking care of things in the northwest and seeing how Madison is not delivering while we work to get done what we can. I will bring common sense to Madison and start building a future Wisconsin that works for us.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Democracy, elections & governance: “I’m running because it is time for good people to step up and stand up to the powerful that divide us to their benefit. It is time to end the gridlock in Madison. I believe this is a critical election in the history of this country and the state. This election is the first in the new post-gerrymander 25th Senate District. I want to be part of new leadership in Madison, that puts people instead of special interests first.”
