15 years ago, Wisconsin’s Act 10 was signed into law, which ended most collective bargaining rights for public employees in our state.

I fought like hell to stop this blatantly anti-worker legislation when I was in the Wisconsin State Assembly. And the fight continues today.

We had great conversations about what it would look like to fully fund our public schools, support our educators, and live up to our promise of providing a high-quality public education to every kid in Wisconsin.

In the State Assembly, I’ll continue fighting for bold policies that make life affordable – a higher minimum wage, a cap on utility fees, fully funding our public schools, building truly affordable housing, and finally fixing our state’s shared revenue formula to provide real property tax relief.

We need leaders who don’t just talk about affordability, but have actually delivered on it.

As an alder, I’ve sponsored legislation to bring down costs and help ease the financial burden on our seniors and neighbors living on a fixed income. πŸ‘‡

On the doors again this weekend, talking to our neighbors about the upcoming spring election and the issues that matter to them.

On April 7th, we’re going to elect Judge Chris Taylor and secure a pro-democracy, pro-worker majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. πŸ’ͺπŸ’™

Always proud to stand with SEIU Wisconsin. Our service and support workers are fighting for a fair contract at Meriter Hospital, and we need to show up for them in the same way they show up for us.

Solidarity! ✊

Great to be out on the doors talking to folks about the importance of the April 7th election. And even more fun to do it with friends!

Just 36 days until we elect Judge Chris Taylor to the Wisconsin Supreme Court and progressives up and down the ballot. Let’s get it done. πŸ’ͺ❀️❄️
