Get StartedI support legalizing medical marijuana and decriminalizing recreational marijuana. Legalizing and regulating the sale of marijuana could bring much needed revenue to our state, and even reduce the state’s opioid and methamphetamine addiction rates by allowing people to self medicate with less harmful substances.

Our district has been left behind. Pandemic unemployment is a new challenge, but wages throughout the district were low before that. Parents struggle to support their families working a variety of low wage jobs. We need to bring more jobs with family sustaining wages, train new graduates and existing workers for more skilled positions, and support the jobs and industries already here in the 28th District. Let's get our share of rural broadband monies, and really update internet so people can work remotely from the Twin Cities, or start an internet based business like my husband. Let's partner with local businesses to develop training and apprenticeships so they can get the skilled workers they need for trades and manufacturing. Let's support our family farms, and the new generation of organic and CSA farmers moving to our area. Let's train for the future, with an emphasis for workers for solar, wind, and other clean energy technologies. Learn more

We still need to make health care both affordable and accessible. I want to push for a solution here in WI by implementing Badgercare for All. I've learned this could result in savings of up to 24% for subscribers, offer a wider range of providers, and won't cost the state anything. Let's take the Medicaid expansion that Governor Walker turned down, which could save the state some $250 million per year. And let's partner with rural health providers and hospitals to insure access and financial stability. Learn more
In a word, no. I hope Governor Evers will continue to work to get us out of this [Foxconn] contract. The price tag is too high, and the returns too uncertain. I would be less annoyed if this was an American company, but to give such huge tax giveaways to a foreign company, with a questionable history, is bad business for Wisconsin. The per job price tag is astronomical. The company should be held to the same environmental standards as other WI. companies. Imagine spreading that investment across the state, to fund small business start ups. Learn more
