I’m honored to have the endorsement of Oshkosh City Council Member Alec Lefeber. Alec is a dedicated public servant who shows up for #Oshkosh and works to make his community stronger. His support means a great deal to me as we continue building this campaign across #wi06. #ForwardTogether.

The biggest difference between my campaign and Glenn Grothman’s is who we believe government should work for. 🚫 Glenn has consistently supported policies that favor billionaires, large corporations, and special interests. ✅ I support policies that put working people first.

Someone at a meet & greet recently asked me whether I support a woman’s right to choose. I gave a simple answer: reproductive medical decisions belong to women and families, not politicians. ❤️ #reproductivefreedom, #womenshealthcare, #wi06, #flipthe6th

Before any further development continues on #ai #datacenters in #wi06, we need detailed regulatory hurdles, transparency requirements, and serious penalties for violations. We must demand #environmentalprotections and let communities discuss and decide what is best for their #economy.

Trump’s decision to oppose #affordablehousing legislation, even as Glenn Grothman voted for it, is a reminder that progress rarely comes in a straight line. #publicservice #accountability #flipthe6th #wi06

We’re counting down and things are looking up! 2 months til the August 11 primary election. I’m overwhelmed that we are leading the field not only in sheer number of folks who wanted to sign my papers, but how quickly our amazing volunteers were able to gather such a big number #flipthe6th!

#MayDay reminds us that every safe workplace, fair wage, weekend, sick day, and hard-won protection exists because workers organized into unions and demanded dignity. Yesterday I joined the Manty Dems and Progressive Lakeshore People to say that Wisconsin workers deserve better. #flipthe6th

You all did this. You walked the neighborhoods in every corner of the 6th district to knock on doors and gather signatures. You braved the less-than-favorable April weather and gave us hours of your time. Thank you! #forwardtogether

I’m incredibly grateful to have earned the support of Mike Heidenreich. My thoughts and those of my entire team are with Mike and his family, and I'm wishing his daughter a full and speedy recovery. I’m committed to carrying forward the kind of people-first leadership our district deserves.

To have the endorsement of a former chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin is incredibly humbling and energizing at the same time. Martha Laning has an admirable and impactful record of service to our state, both through her role at the DPW, and leading the Plymouth Intergenerational Center.

What a great surprise! I opened our News Graphic this morning to find two letters to the editor supporting our campaign. That’s what grassroots energy looks like, people stepping up, speaking out, and helping move Wisconsin forward. Let’s keep it going.

It may be freezing here in Wisconsin, but the real storm families are facing is rising costs and leaders in Washington who aren’t listening. People in this district deserve someone who shows up, listens, and fights for them, not silence from politicians like Congressman Glenn Grothman #Flipthe6th

Congressman Glenn Grothman, frequently complains about the “real breakdown in the old fashioned family over the last 50 years.” 👇 This all from the guy who [checks notes] ... has never had an old fashioned family of his own. Time to #FlipThe6th in #WI06. spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee...

The GI Bill gave me a chance and I became the first in seven generations of my family to attend college. Too many Wisconsin students opt out because of cost or graduate buried in debt. Let’s make technical education affordable, strengthen our universities, and expand apprenticeships.

Continuing conversations with fellow veterans to discuss how we can drive real outcomes for those who served. 2 urgent priorities: passing the Major Richard Star Act & the 9/11 Servicemembers Fairness Act, ensuring combat-injured veterans and 9/11 DoD responders receive the benefits they’ve earned.

The ICE shooting today in Minneapolis is a horrible tragedy. It is awful to watch, but video evidence shows without a doubt it was excessive force. Don't let anyone claim otherwise - the video evidence is incontrovertible. We must not tolerate this. Our fellow Americans are not enemies.💔

Watching this footage again, even 5 years on, makes my blood boil. How are we here? How is this remotely acceptable to any swath of Americans? Scroll to the end, feel the rage, feel the fragility of our very democracy. Then channel it into action NOW and KEEP GOING. apps.npr.org/jan-6-archive/

Starting a war without congressional authorization violates the Constitution. Congress exists as a check on Executive power, not a rubber stamp. Where do you stand, Congressman Glenn Grothman?
