In a moment like this, it is especially important for us to take a moment to reflect on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

We all share a commitment to protecting kids in school and ensuring they can safely learn and grow. This is one of our top priorities as Assembly Democrats.

Since 2007, people from every corner of the state, from Racine to Superior, have been able to tune in to watch our work in the Capitol and see what’s happening here with their own eyes. Until today.

I watched the videos of Renee Good’s death in horror. I am heart broken for her children, for her wife, for Minneapolis, and for our country. This moment has gravity not only because of her tragic loss, but because of how Trump and his administration have responded to it.

Lack of access to affordable housing is one of the main concerns I hear from constituents in my district. From first-time homebuyers to longtime residents on a fixed income, folks are struggling to afford the housing they need.

As I reflect on the year, I’m grateful for a whole lot, but especially my wedding! Hudson and I got married last summer in Racine County and it was the most incredible day. I want to thank some amazing local folks who helped make it so special!

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all had cozy and warm holidays and time to rest before the year begins. I am hopeful that in the year ahead, we will continue to come together, look out for each other, and keep fighting for better for Wisconsin. Forward.

As the year comes to an end, it’s been great to connect with constituents and share a bit about the work we’re doing at the Capitol. To stay up to date on important information from my office, check out some of the ways to get connected!

2026 is right around the corner and I want to hear about what issues are top of mind for you! Your input will help me continue advocating for you in the State Capitol. Help us keep moving Wisconsin forward by taking this short survey - legis.wisconsin.gov/assembly/dem...

Legislative Democrats’ agenda strengthens public schools, holds the line on property taxes, makes housing more affordable, and so much more. And we’re excited to hit the ground running next year.

Turns out Kringle isn’t the only sweet treat Racine is known for! What a fun way to learn about our community’s impact on an iconic piece of candy. racinecountyeye.com/2025/12/16/r...

From the rising cost of living to inadequate funding for public schools, people across our state are struggling. Everyone in Wisconsin deserves a real opportunity to thrive.

To everyone beginning their Kwanzaa celebrations today, I hope you and your loved ones have a safe and peaceful holiday!

Across the 66th Assembly District and our great state, I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas!

2025 is quickly coming to an end, and I want to wish everyone in my district and across Wisconsin a very Happy Holidays!

This year certainly had its challenges, but I’m hopeful that there are better times ahead. Next year, we’ll continue our work to deliver for Wisconsinites. Legislative Democrats will remain focused on lowering costs and improving the lives of Wisconsinites.

Instead of being able to think about putting gifts under the tree and traveling to see loved ones, folks are bracing for a huge spike in their healthcare premiums starting in 2026.

WisconsinEye has made it possible for anyone, from Racine to Superior, to tune in to watch our work in the Capitol. We can’t allow their services to disappear.

I want to offer my deepest condolences to everyone affected by yesterday’s horrific, antisemitic attack in Sydney. No one should have to fear for their lives because of the beliefs they hold and the holidays they celebrate. Antisemitism cannot be tolerated.

This is transformative news for the City of Racine. For years, I’ve advocated for funding to replace our community’s outdated lead service lines and ensure that the water coming from our taps is safe.

Those who know me know I love the holiday season. I loved stopping by the Festival of Trees, DeKoven Christmas Fair, Eco-Justice Center and Eave's Christmas Pop Up this weekend. Lots of great ways to get into the spirit here in Racine County!

During the holiday season, families should be able to focus on buying gifts for their children and traveling to see loved ones. Instead, people are worried about rising costs and how they’re going to make ends meet.

Today, the Capitol Holiday Tree was lit, and I am filled with gratitude for the ways I’ve seen folks come together to support each other through this year’s difficult moments. Let’s continue looking out for one another in the year ahead.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday this year.

Preventing new moms from accessing a full year of postpartum healthcare is just wrong. Wisconsin remains one of the last two states that have failed to pass this measure, as Republican leadership continues to block it.

As many of you know, data center proposals and projects are coming to Wisconsin. People are raising really valid concerns about these projects and their impact on our communities. That’s why I’ve co-authored a bill to increase accountability and transparency for these projects.

Republicans continue to prove how disconnected they are from what people really need. Wisconsinites don’t want to close school buildings, break up communities, force their kids to ride the bus for hours a day, or lose their sports teams. Don’t close our schools. Fund them.

Expanding postpartum coverage is a popular and bipartisan idea, but Assembly Republicans have blocked move after move to pass this bill. 73 legislators on both sides of the aisle have signed on to Senate Bill 23, including 29 Assembly Republicans.

I look forward to seeing you there!

The federal government shutdown is nearing its end, but people’s costs are going to continue to go up. Everyone deserves access to affordable healthcare! Keep reaching out to your congressional representatives and tell them to extend the ACA tax credits.

I’m holding office hours next week and would love to connect with you! I’ll be at the Racine Public Library in study room 1 on Monday, November 17 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. I look forward to seeing you there! You can RSVP here: www.facebook.com/events/17175...

We know that way too many people are struggling to make ends meet, and Donald Trump is perfectly content to watch them suffer. We must stay focused on delivering for our folks, and we must not be bullied by our President.

Happy Veterans Day! It was a privilege to join Tom Friedel, veteran and Vice President of Racine Area Veterans Inc., at today’s Veterans Day Ceremony. Today and beyond, we recognize the bravery and sacrifice of our veterans.

I had a great time chatting with high school students today at Racine Unified’s See Your Future Expo at Park High School. I am always impressed by our students’ thoughtful questions and feedback about the issues that are most important to them.

I’m grateful to @upnorthnewswi.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to share how Legislative Democrats have been stepping in for Wisconsinites during Trump’s government shutdown.

Help us make a difference as we collect donations for the Racine County Food Bank! Visit one of these local spots listed below and drop items into our collection boxes. Check out the details to help support our community!

Full FoodShare payments should be made to nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites who depend on them. FoodShare members should see the full November amount on their QUEST card. Folks can check their benefit balances by calling 877-415-5164.

We know partially funding SNAP benefits through November does not go far enough. Many Wisconsinites will still face difficulty accessing the food they need. We’ve been on the ground working with local food banks and other community organizations to support our neighbors in need.

Targeting Planned Parenthood was a harmful attempt by Trump to take away healthcare and reproductive services from people. I’m grateful services resumed and Wisconsinites will again have access to essential care.

Kids, families and elderly people will go hungry if they don't get their SNAP benefits this week. The Trump Administration must abide by this ruling and direct the USDA to immediately begin processing November benefits for people across the country.

All across Wisconsin, @wiassemblydems and @wisenatedemocrats are on the ground, organizing to help our neighbors during this crisis. wisconsinexaminer.com/briefs/democ...

Wisconsinites will see a major spike in the cost of their health care coverage if the Affordable Care Act tax credits are not extended. And this is no accident — Trump and Congressional Republicans intentionally cut these subsidies earlier this year.

It is simply cruel that the federal government would allow nearly 270,000 children across our state - 14,000 of them in Racine County - to lose access to food assistance. racinecountyeye.com/2025/10/28/w...

In just a few days, nearly 700,000 Wisconites, including more than 260,000 children, will lose access to FoodShare benefits - essential food necessities.

For too long our veterans have been left behind. It’s time Wisconsin lived up to its promise to those who served. Earlier this fall, two veterans homes in Chippewa Falls and Green Bay were forced to close because Legislative Republicans failed to fund them.

More than 700,000 people in our state will lose access to critical food assistance through FoodShare next month due to the ongoing government shutdown. As Wisconsinites worry about where their next meal will come from, Trump prepares a $250 million ballroom renovation.

Ensuring our kids' safety at school is a top priority for me. It is our responsibility as legislators to take questions or concerns about the handling of cases of misconduct in our public schools extremely seriously and make any changes to state law necessary to keep our kids safe.

I want people to know where they can go to find food assistance while the shutdown affects the FoodShare program.

This survey confirms what we all know to be true — supporting higher education is worth it. Gateway helps students, strengthens our schools, improves the local economy, and creates lasting positive impacts across our entire state. journaltimes.com/news/local/e...

While many of our neighbors are struggling to access affordable food, housing, transportation, health care, and more, funding is being cut for programs that offer critical support. Costs are increasing, nonprofits are overwhelmed, and people need help. racinecountyeye.com/2025/10/16/r...
