Assembly Votes to Crack Down on Illegal Immigration
On Tuesday I voted for Assembly Bill 24, a bill that requires County Sheriffs to attempt to verify citizenship status when an individual is booked into their jail on a felony charge. After they have verified citizenship status, the Sheriffs are then required to notify ICE if they are holding someone who has a federal warrant. This common-sense legislation is important because unfortunately Dane and Milwaukee counties do not cooperate with ICE, putting our entire state at risk. I am proud to have voted to keep Wisconsin families safe.
Capitol Meetings
Wednesday I hosted UW-Oshkosh Chancellor Andy Leavitt and his team to discuss the upcoming budget. Thank you to Jack, Melanie, and Greg who joined Chancellor Leavitt in the meeting.
Also on Wednesday I was joined by Dani and Melissa from the Fox Valley YMCA. They were in Madison to discuss childcare and the budget.

The best way to experience the beauty and grandeur of Wisconsin’s Capitol building (located at 2 East Main Street, Madison, WI 53702) is to see it for yourself. It is open to the public weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and weekends and holidays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Free tours are offered daily, year round except on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas. Tours start at the information desk Monday through Saturday at 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 a.m. and 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 p.m.; and Sundays at 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 p.m. A 4:00 p.m. tour is offered weekdays (Monday – Friday), excluding holidays, during Memorial Day through Labor Day. Plan on spending 45-55 minutes for a tour. The sixth floor museum and observation deck are open during the summer months. Groups of ten or more can make an on-line reservation for a tour of the State Capitol or call (608)266-0382.
