Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a proud lifelong Wisconsinite. My family has a long history of military service.

In high school, I dual-enrolled at UW-Green Bay. Taking all college courses my junior and senior year of high school, I graduated with 91 college credits. Six months later, that same year, I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Political Science, being designated Magna Cum Laude, along with minors in Public Administration and Democracy & Justice Studies as well as with a certificate in Organizational Development. I am a lifetime member of the National Society of High School Scholars, Phi Theta Kappa, and Phi Sigma Pi.

I have volunteered among various organizations throughout the years. During my sophomore year, I was the Vice President of the Lincoln High School Young Republicans. At UWGB, I was the Treasurer for the College Republicans.

After college, I formed the Manitowoc County chapter of Moms for Liberty where I am the Vice Chair. I also formed and run the Manitowoc County Patriots.

I have directly served the public as a congressional staffer and on community advisory committees for my school district. I am a small business owner.

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?

I will work to form an easily accessible digital database of all the records this office holds and overlooks. This will streamline business and hold the office more accountable as well as increase transparency. Through this, taxpayers will save time and money.I believe timeliness is essential for a government to properly serve its citizens. I will bring accountability by using the best practices of the day to prioritize efficiency.The Secretary of State chairs the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, which oversees 75,000+ acres of public lands and $1.6 billion of school trust funds and provides loans to local governments. In the past, this board has provided loans for politically divisive projects. I will push for these loans to address critical infrastructure needs such as fixing our roads.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

One area that I am personally passionate about is how elections are administered. Half a century ago, the legislature took away the Secretary of State's oversight on elections. I would like to restore the integrity of this office so the legislature will trust this office to be in charge of elections and voters will have someone to hold accountable.
