In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

At nine years old, my journey began when my parents came to America with few resources to build a new life and grow into American citizenship. Mentors deeply shaped my path, guiding my understanding of the incredible opportunities offered by our great nation. Hard work and dedication eventually resulted in earning a bachelor's and master's degrees in engineering, as well as a law degree.

A deep devotion to the American values of hard work, education, and prosperity for families and business entities guides my life. Giving back to the country that gave me so much has always been my top priority. Over the years, my commitment to service has taken many forms, from volunteering with post-Katrina cleanup in New Orleans and the Cambiando Vidas project through Rutgers University, to my professional work as a Patent Examiner at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, a Law Clerk in Washington, D.C., and Editor of the Polish Global Village.

Being a Servant Leader means dedicating myself to respectful dialogue and pragmatic, bipartisan collaboration. Political infighting that turns neighbor against neighbor holds absolutely no interest for me. Instead, my unwavering support belongs to the country that has influenced and accepted me as a member. For me, true public service is about honoring that trust by putting people first, focusing on practical solutions, and working tirelessly to build a prosperous future for everyone.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

We must ease the financial burden on working families and seniors. Instead of forcing communities to rely on endless local property tax referendums to fund basic needs and public schools, we must utilize actual surpluses to increase shared revenue. This approach funds our schools and special education while keeping local property taxes in check. Furthermore, by expanding the Homestead Tax Credit and treating childcare as critical economic infrastructure, we can protect seniors from being priced out of their homes while keeping our workforce competitive.We must balance economic development with strict stewardship of our health, property, and natural resources. While I support tech expansion, hyperscale data centers and massive industrial operations must face strict water and environmental stewardship. We must enforce tax exemption laws to ensure incentives actually benefit Wisconsin, not just corporate bottom lines. Most importantly, corporate polluters must be held financially accountable so local taxpayers never foot the bill for environmental clean-ups. We need permanent fixes to ensure our communities thrive for decades.As a Servant Leader, I believe politicians should answer directly to the people. I strongly support non-partisan redistricting so voters choose their representatives, forcing politicians to compete on the quality of their ideas rather than relying on rigged maps. Furthermore, true freedom means the government stays out of our private lives. I am committed to protecting fundamental healthcare rights, ensuring permanent access to IVF and contraception, and guaranteeing that complex medical decisions remain strictly between patients and their doctors without political interference.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Deep passion drives a commitment to fiscal relief, environmental stewardship, and medical freedom.

First, we must lower costs by restructuring shared revenue. Local taxpayers shouldn't face endless referendums to fund education and municipal services where actual state surpluses may sit idle. Prioritizing those funds for schools, senior tax credits, and childcare builds a stable economy.

Second, economic and tech expansion cannot cost us our natural resources. We must demand rigorous water and energy stewardship from hyperscale data centers and hold industrial polluters financially accountable.

Finally, medical choices must stay private. True freedom means permanently shielding IVF and contraception access and keeping politicians out of rep
