In Hudson, folks are talking about the cost of everything – child care, housing, groceries – it just keeps adding up.

People here are working hard and doing their best – they just want leaders who listen, and who deliver. #RollingWithRodriguez

1,800+ came together in Waukesha and Brookfield today.

A 79-year-old grandmother at her first ever protest said she’s “fighting for the America I knew and the one I want for my grandkids.”

Conservatives shared, “No matter who you voted for before, we should all be able to agree on this.”

In Racine, we talked about the issues families bring up everywhere I go: housing, child care, and education. Wisconsinites are working hard – they just need leaders who’ll make it a little easier to get ahead.

Families in Wisconsin are losing access to care. Paramedics are driving hours to find open ERs. That’s what happens when rural hospitals close, and when leaders like Tom Tiffany cut Medicaid and shut down the government instead of doing their jobs.

Tom Tiffany voted to take Medicaid from tens of thousands of Wisconsinites – now he’s helping Trump and D.C. Republicans shut down the government. Families, veterans & businesses will pay the price. It’s time for leaders who solve problems, not create new ones.

Families shouldn’t have to go bankrupt just to afford prescriptions or child care, and they shouldn’t have to wonder if politicians will ignore basic facts about vaccines, climate, or public health.

I’m honored to earn 314 Action Fund’s endorsement. As a nurse, I’ve seen what happens when patients can’t get the care they need — and when leaders attack science and medicine, they make those problems even worse.

We are proud to announce our endorsement of @saraforwi.com for #WIGov!

Tom Tiffany cheers on tariff taxes that drive up grocery and gas prices while voting to take health care from Wisconsin families. As a nurse and a mom, I’ve seen the stakes. I’ll protect care while lowering costs for families. #WIGOV

Rep. Karen Kirsch is in because she knows what’s at stake: health care that’s affordable, communities that are funded, and families that come first. That’s the future Wisconsin deserves. If you agree—add your name to our growing community of supporters → saraforwi.com/endorsements

September 11 is a day to honor those we lost and those who sacrificed everything to save others. It’s also a reminder that, in the face of tragedy, Americans come together. Now more than ever, we must choose unity over division.

Political violence strikes at the heart of democracy itself and is never acceptable — ever. It is a growing cancer in America that must be stopped. Our hearts are with Charlie Kirk, his family, and the Utah Valley University community.

If you’re from Wisconsin, you know the Burnett County Dems brat & bean feed isn’t just dinner—it’s community. These conversations remind me why I’m in this race: to fight for Wisconsinites in every corner of our state, and make sure every family has a fair shot at opportunity and a better future.

A new poll confirms what Wisconsinites know: life is pricier under Trump. Families are getting squeezed on groceries, gas & housing – while wages stay flat. I’m running for Governor to lower costs, invest in childcare & schools, and deliver real relief. #WIGov
