Wisconsin’s messy governor’s primary showed why I helped introduce ranked-choice voting. Nearly 68,000 votes went to candidates who had withdrawn. With ranked choice, voters can name a backup so their voice still counts. Every vote should matter. fairvote.org/68000-zombie...

Our office hours across the community are so popular we adding more, I am bringing more community office hours directly to you across Green Bay. From the dog park, to the bus, to community spaces where real conversations happen. Because the best ideas do not come from Madison. They come from you

Our biggest challenges don’t stop at city lines or partisan divides. I know what housing instability feels like. That’s why I coauthored this bill, The problem isn’t that people aren’t working hard enough. It’s that the system isn’t working for them. fox11online.com/news/local/h...

Braved the cold with neighbors in Green Bay to talk about something simple and overdue. Giving working people a raise. Wisconsin’s minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour. It has been stuck there for decades. No one can thrive on that here. Together we can fight for the world we deserve.

“Wisconsin is becoming the centerpiece for billionaires trying to influence elections,” Rivera-Wagner said. “This is just unacceptable.” Thanks to @wisconsinwatch.org for covering this important story: wisconsinwatch.org/2025/12/wisc...

Progress that defies what our political climate tells us is possible. Some lenders charge more than 800 percent. That is unacceptable. This work proves that when we stay focused on people and purpose, we can deliver real results. Read more: www.wpr.org/news/wiscons...

Republican legislators have spent more than $25 million on outside legal counsel since 2019. Democrats are now circulating a bill that seeks to rein in partisan spending of taxpayer dollars. For more, @fayeparks.bsky.social sat down with @air152.bsky.social. www.wortfm.org/state-legisl...

Honored to stand w/ Reps. @air152.bsky.social & Lee Snodgrass outside the Brown Co Courthouse in Green Bay today. We deserve elections built on trust — not bribery or intimidation. This bill protects WI voters from being pressured or paid to sign (or not sign) petitions.

"To me, this should be the runway for Republicans and others that supported that amendment, to support this bill -- which is to make sure that actual money given directly to people specifically for the notion of voting should be illegal," said Rivera-Wagner. fox11online.com/news/local/d...

Rivera's message for Musk: “Come here, make the case, try to get voters. We’re not telling people they can’t campaign in Green Bay. But the idea that you have to buy a Supreme Court seat by bribing voters while you’re cutting their jobs in our city is unacceptable.” www.wuwm.com/government-p...

Speaking at St. Norbert College on 3/11/25, Krista Tippett said "We have to get rooted in the agency we have . . . to see what else is going on along with the catastrophes." In that spirit, I'd like to share a couple of great things that happened in Green Bay, WI (where I live) today!

We are witnessing dangerous extremism—an effort to divide us through fear and chaos by putting funding for our schools, seniors, housing, hospitals and public safety at risk for partisan games. I stand with Governor Evers in calling on the Trump administration to pause its federal funding freeze.

It’s so important that we show up for each other, meet people where they are, and listen. And one of my takeaways from the 2024 election is how many Michiganders — from Houghton to Hillsdale to Grand Rapids to Detroit — want their voices heard.

I know folks are hurting. But I also know something else to be true: that this community is tough, and while tough times don’t last, tough people do. I want to thank this community for giving a formerly homeless kid the honor to represent you in the State Assembly.
