It's the 53rd anniversary of Roe v Wade. While abortion care is legal again in Wisconsin, it is banned in other states. Join me in being pro-life by supporting healthcare, public schools, childcare, livable wages, supporting immigrants and reproductive rights because that is being pro-life.

Senate Bill 70, drafted in 2023 lets data centers can apply for sales tax exemption in Wisconsin. Gov. Evers made a veto but the bill still passed, with Mark Born and Republican supporting and Dems rejecting.

Rep. Mark Born LED the effort to bring the Meta Data Center to Beaver Dam, but had a press conference today taking credit for environmental and taxpayer protections that came from us stepping up and pushing for regulations and accountability. DON'T FALL FOR IT.

Spent part of my day at our winter farmers market. LOVE supporting other farmers and small business owners. It was a snowy start, but a great day. Really had fun.

If you decide to watch this, please do so with care. The video creates many questions as it is unclear why this altercation began, why it escalated and why the ICE agents left the scene, not only failing to provide help, but preventing efforts to save Renee Good's life.

I made a visit to Confections for Any Occasion by Joel, an award-winning chocolatier, right in our backyard. Joel's story is just as amazing as his chocolate. His is blind, and his store was damaged by fire less than two years ago. Confections is open again and has so much to offer.
