Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a mother, former educator, and dedicated community volunteer who knows that there's more that unites us than divides us. A proud Wisconsinite, my goal is to offer the 56th assembly district responsive and informed representation that is rooted in our shared values.

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?

As a mom of three, I understand firsthand the importance of affordable and accessible childcare, especially in rural communities.Having worked as a classroom teacher, I know the heart and soul educators pour into their work, and that our schools provide critical support for the youngest in our communities. We need to fully fund them.Folks are spending a large portion of their salary on groceries, gas, and services partly because of corporate greed. I want to do what I can at the state level to ensure corporations are using fair prices and paying their fair share in taxes, supporting the communities who support them.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As a former teacher, I'm a big believer in and advocate for our public schools. Fully funding them supports the students themselves, the families, and the community at large.

I am a mom and survivor of sexual violence, so I understand intimately the preciousness of life and the reality of the world we live in. I will fight for bodily autonomy for all and for making sure contraception is accessible and affordable.

I know that too many working people and their families are struggling to make ends meet, and we need to do more at the state level to support them. That includes tax breaks for middle class families that actually amount to something, curtailing corporate profiteering, supporting our small businesses, including family farms.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Being responsive to constituent concerns, being open to conversation and compromise, offering pragmatic and innovative solutions, being comprehensive when considering real-world impacts of legislation

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

I was a freshman in high school on September 11th, and I remember suddenly aware that the world was much more complicated than I had thought as a child. Since then, I opened myself to experiences and studies that gave me a greater understanding of global and local relations and how relationships must be built and cultivated.
