When a Republican elected official like ​Sheriff Roger Brandner looks past party, ​and recognizes the governing experience, ​character and skills needed to work for ​solutions across party lines, it speaks ​volumes. I am grateful to Sheriff Brandner ​for his steadfast support and this wonderful ​testimonial of my credentials to serve as ​your next State Representative!

I am a proud supporter of our law ​enforcement personnel and understand the ​important roles they play in keeping our ​communities safe places to live, work and ​raise our families. To all the deputies, ​officers, correctional officers, dispatchers, ​emergency management personnel and ​administrative staff who work around the ​clock - thank you for all you do!

The mental health crisis in our communities ​cannot continue and private practitioners ​cannot be expected to shoulder the ​growing need for timely, affordable and ​compassionate care. Our state and local ​governments must work together to offer ​care and services to our neighbors who ​need it the most. I am grateful for Barry's ​endorsement and his recognition that my ​experience, and dedicated work on the ​County Board of Supervisors, positions me ​as the best candidate to make a difference ​and get to work for the people of Columbia ​and Sauk Counties.

Fighting for teachers, and our public school ​system, is one of my top priorities if elected ​to the State Assembly. Over 90 school ​referenda were on the ballot this past ​spring in Wisconsin. More than half failed. It ​isn’t because people don’t care about ​schools, but smaller communities, with ​limited tax bases, suffer a larger burden ​when passing referenda to spend additional ​dollars. The State must return to a full 2/3 ​funding formula to help small rural school ​districts survive. I am committed to making ​our kids a top priority!

It has been my absolute honor to work with ​Tom in support of our county's residents and ​the hardworking, dedicated employees who ​work tirelessly on their behalf. The services ​offered, and the empathetic and ​professional way in which our county ​employees provide them, are an incredible ​asset to our communities. Tom is an ​outstanding example of what it means to be ​an actively involved citizen and I am grateful ​for his efforts on the Health and Human ​Services Board. Community members ​working to advocate for their neighbors is ​something we should all aspire to!

I am proud to have the support of ​many of my peers on the Columbia ​County Board. Here are a few of them ​from the 40th Assembly District. ​These individuals have witnessed my ​leadership on the board and ​appreciate my experience in governing ​with a purpose for solutions. I look ​forward to bringing new leadership to ​the Capitol and will work hard to make ​sure our government becomes a ​benefit and not a burden.

Being a REALTOR is important to me and ​something I am very proud of.

All of the REALTORS I know and work with ​are determined and dedicated to growing ​communities and supporting the housing ​needs of all residents.

That is why I am especially proud to be ​endorsed by the Wisconsin REALTORS ​Association and I look forward to working ​in Madison to help promote solutions to the ​critical housing shortage issue throughout ​Wisconsin.

“My education in political science and economics, my time in the State Capitol as a staff person, and my experience as a local elected official on the County Board, provides me with a unique understanding of how government operations work and how budgets are crafted.”

It’s been a fun summer on the campaign ​trail, including walking in several parades ​throughout the community.

We had a great time at the Pardeeville 4th ​of July parade earlier this month. Special ​thanks to my mom and dad for always ​being my biggest supporters!

On July 28, we joined in the fun at the Plain ​Fire & EMS Celebration and really enjoyed ​meeting some great people!
