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.

Senator Bob Wirch has spent years fighting for working families — and I’m grateful to have his support in this race. He knows I’ve led from the front lines as a nurse and inside the Capitol, and that together we can deliver real results for Wisconsin.

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.

Risks for new moms don’t end after 60 days. Every doctor knows that. Every mom knows that.
But Republicans in the Assembly still blocked a bipartisan bill to extend postpartum Medicaid to 12 months—despite overwhelming support.

Republican leadership sided against new moms, babies, and basic health care — again – to block postpartum Medicaid coverage. If you needed a reminder of what’s at stake in 2026, here it is.

When the people who keep our state running choose to stand with you, it means a lot. It’s time to give workers their power back: repeal Act 10, end right-to-work, restore prevailing wage, and make Wisconsin a state where work really pays again.
