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.

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.

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 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.

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.

We are officially three weeks into the federal government shutdown and Trump and Congressional Republicans continue to put Wisconsinites’ economic security at risk. No one is benefitting from this shutdown and Republicans are letting it drag on instead of working with Democrats.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans control Washington - and what has been the result of their leadership? A federal government shutdown impacting critical services, increasing healthcare costs, and economic uncertainty.

Thanks Wisconsin Public Radio for having me on today’s show!
