It was a busy week in-district and in the legislature! I was happy to participate in several meetings and events in-district. I enjoyed walking with local officials in the Appleton Memorial Day parade, volunteering for St. Joe’s Olympics Day, and the several meetings that took place down in Madison!

This week my staff and I had productive meetings with:

  • Wisconsin Funeral Directors Association
  • Wisconsin Beer Distributors Association
  • Wisconsin Hospital Association
  • Americans For Prosperity
  • Tellurian

Senator Rachael Cabral-Guevara volunteered at St. Joe's Olympic Day on June 1, 2023.
