Families are already struggling, and if President Trump and Republicans don't end their reckless government shutdown, basic food assistance that feeds our kids, families, and seniors is going to run out in just 10 days. End the shutdown now. More here ⬇️ https://t.co/uM0hDZlnsd

I’ll be holding a press conference with @sensmithwi, State Rep. @RyanSpaude, and Wisconsinites who will see their 2026 health insurance premiums skyrocket due to Congressional Republicans' refusal to extend the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits. Tune in today on Instagram

One of the most incredible parts of my job is listening to my constituents. I’m deeply grateful for every opportunity to hear from my neighbors because your voices guide me as I fight for the issues that matter most to our community.

Proud to author the Safe Summer Bill Package. Every Wisconsinite deserves to feel safe and free from gun violence, whether at school, at work, or in their neighborhood. I’m fighting for common sense, widely supported gun safety laws that will save lives.

Trump’s freeze on education funding poses a significant threat to the well-being of Racine Unified students and families by putting critical after-school programs in jeopardy. Last year alone, over 600 students participated in these programs. https://t.co/9bzJxBp7pE

A federal funding freeze affecting billions of dollars in after-school grants is sending shockwaves through RUSD and community organizations.

While gun deaths are at an all-time high, Republicans once again removed from the budget popular, common sense gun safety bills. The Safe Summer bill package takes a stand against inadequate regulations that leave our children vulnerable. I’m proud to co-author this legislation.
