Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor. Wife. Proud mom. Nurse. Running for governor to fight for affordability, opportunity, and the future Wisconsin deserves.
Threatening to yank funding because our state won’t hand over people’s personal information is cruel and counterproductive. I stand with Governor Evers and AG Kaul in fighting back. In Wisconsin, we should be making it easier to keep food on the table — not harder.
Trump administration threatens to withhold funds to run SNAP in Wisconsin, other states
Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins said funding to administer SNAP will be halted where governors have not responded to requests for data on recipients.

Rural Wisconsin deserves more than campaign-season drive-bys.
It deserves real investment and leaders who actually listen.
Thank you to Joshua Pettis for this endorsement and for speaking the truth about the challenges facing Osseo and small towns statewide. We solve these problems together.

Today’s vote guts newborn hepatitis B protections, ignores decades of science, and puts politics over kids’ health.
I’m a mom, nurse, and former CDC officer — and we need leaders who defend public health, not dismantle it.

Wisconsinites are loud and clear: life is too expensive.
Health premiums are rising. Subsidies are on the chopping block. Families are stretched thin.
We can fix it — with real leadership that puts people first, not politics.

For voters in the swing state of Wisconsin, affordability is top of mind
A recent NPR/PBS News/Marist poll found nearly 6-in-10 voters say President Trump's top priority should be lowering prices. That concern is being expressed loudly in the swing state of Wisconsin.

Had a great night in Appleton talking about health care, housing, and the cost of everything.
Folks here are ready for a governor who will roll up her sleeves and make life a little less expensive and a lot more fair.

I’ve visited all 72 counties in Wisconsin several times over, and what I hear everywhere I go is life is too damn expensive – from groceries and doctor’s visits to rent and childcare.
It’s time to tackle our cost of living crisis head on.

Health care is the #1 issue for Wisconsin families — and I’m the only candidate in this race who’s actually worked inside the system. I’ve been a nurse, a public health leader, and now Lt. Governor, and I know what it takes to fix what’s broken.

From Eau Claire to Kenosha to Superior — I’m showing up. Meeting folks where they are. Listening. Talking about what’s really keeping families up at night: health care, housing, child care, and costs. Wisconsin doesn’t need a headline. It needs a governor who does the work.

Last week the Trump administration announced new rules that say nursing isn’t a professional degree. As a nurse — and someone who has watched nurses save lives every single day — I have thoughts. Video below ⬇️

This disrespects nurses and harms patients. I’m running for governor to build a WI where health care is accessible, affordable — and where nurses are treated like the highly trained professionals we are. To all my fellow nurses: I see you. I’m with you. And I’ll fight for you every single day.

Grateful today — and every day — for this state and the people who make it home. To everyone gathering with loved ones, delivering meals, working a shift, or spending the day in service: thank you.
Wishing you warmth, rest, and a full plate.

Grateful for Aron Newberry’s support. He’s right — everything is connected. Public health, housing, the economy, education — it all impacts how we live and whether families can thrive. We’re going to build a Wisconsin where it all works together.

Wisconsin families shouldn’t have to choose between caring for their kids, their parents, and keeping health insurance. Health care is on the ballot in 2026 — and I’m running to make sure no family has to face these impossible choices again.

Nothing energizes me more than standing with Wisconsinites who want the same thing: a state where it doesn’t feel impossible to get ahead. People are ready for a governor who’s laser-focused on solving the real problems they face every day.

Happy birthday to my son! Somehow he's already 19.
As a mom, I think about families across WI who want their kids to have a future where they can put down roots, build a life, and feel supported by their community. That’s the WI I’m working toward — for my kids and for yours. 💛🎉

As a state senator, Tom Tiffany introduced the “abortion reversal” bill — a claim medical experts say is false and unsafe.
Now the GOP legislature is using that same blueprint to push a bill based on more false claims.
This is Tiffany’s playbook and exactly the agenda he would sign as governor.
