The state has a projected multi-billion dollar surplus. Meanwhile, our property taxes keep going up because Madison won't properly fund rural schools. That's backwards.
I'll fight to:
Fix the school funding formula so local property owners aren't footing the bill
Return state surplus money to local communities
Make property tax bills predictable and understandable
Our lakes aren't just beautiful—they're our economy. Tourism, fishing, boating, resorts, local businesses—all of it depends on clean water.
I'll fight to:
Stop mining in the Northwoods
Protect water quality standards and have limits on wake boating activities
Support responsible development that doesn't threaten our natural resources
You shouldn't have to drive 45 minutes to see a doctor. You shouldn't have to choose between filling a prescription and buying groceries.
I'll fight to:
Expand telehealth options for rural areas
Recruit and retain healthcare providers in northern Wisconsin
Support our volunteer EMS and first responders
I'm not running because I love politics. I don't.
I'm running because I love this community, and I've spent 31 years proving it. I've raised my family here, served on the school board through good times and tough times, worked alongside people in this district, and listened to what people are experiencing.
The Northwoods isn't Madison. We have different challenges, different priorities, and different values. We need someone who understands that. Someone who's actually here, year-round, paying the same property taxes, dealing with the same issues, and fighting for the same things you are.
That's what I'll do.
This campaign isn't about me. It's about making sure you have a voice in Madison that actually listens and fights for what matters to year-round residents.
I'd be honored to earn your support.
