If you haven't been following what's happening in Watertown, you need to. Visibility matters. We will not be erased. And now more than ever, we need more trans leaders in government.

Is Wisconsin losing millions to states where cannabis is legal?
Cannabis isn’t legal in Wisconsin, so residents are purchasing it in states where it is, generating tax money for those states.

Taking money from Americans’ housing, education, and climate programs to bankroll another war is exactly the wrong choice.
Screenshot of a news headline that says: 'White House Seeks $1.5 Trillion for Defense in New Budget Request
The huge proposed increase would be partly offset by steep cuts to domestic programs, some of which the Trump administration describes as wasteful.'

The cost of child care is out of control. Families should never have to choose between earning a paycheck and making sure their children are safe and supported during the workday. In the Assembly, I’ll fight for universal childcare that is affordable and accessible for everyone.

The last time Wisconsin raised the minimum wage was 2009. As someone who has worked for $2.33 an hour plus tips for most of my career, I know how difficult it is to make ends meet when you aren’t being paid for the value of your labor.

In the wealthiest country in the world, this should not be our reality. People are rationing medications, delaying necessary procedures, and going into debt for basic care. Meanwhile, insurance companies are reporting record profits.

For most of my life, I have gone without health insurance because I simply couldn't afford it. I live in constant fear that one accident or emergency could send me into bankruptcy. And I know that so many Wisconsinites live in that same fear.

Madison stands with Minneapolis. We will not be silent in the face of fascism. We will continue to organize and keep our neighbors safe. An institution that is designed to terrorize our communities cannot be reformed. Abolishing ICE and holding those in power accountable is the only way forward.

Corporations aren’t going to regulate themselves. Billionaires aren’t going to tax themselves. The system isn’t going to change itself. That’s why we fight to put working class leaders in office: so we can have a government that cares for ALL of us, not just the richest of us.
