End of Session Video Highlight:
Modernizing Wisconsin’s Financial Aid System
The 2023-2024 Legislative Session has officially come to a close. I recorded some videos that highlight some of the accomplishments I achieved on your behalf during the session. This week I’d like to focus on the bill I authored this session that modernized Wisconsin’s higher education financial aid system.  Click on the photo below to watch the video and learn more.
I was happy to upgrade and simplify the FAFSA form on the state level to make it easier for students to fill out. However, the federal Department of Education has missed crucial deadlines. The significant delays in the federal FAFSA rollout mean many Wisconsin high school seniors face missing out on their college dreams.
To address this federal crisis, the Fair Opportunity Project is offering free, one-on-one FAFSA help, ensuring students can confidently navigate the application process and unlock crucial financial resources.
Please reach out to my office if you have additional questions.

In the District
Last week I enjoyed visiting Joyful Beginnings Academy child care center in Hortonville. I had a great time visiting with the kids and owners Tiffany Simon and Virginia Maus. I even got to leave a note to their teachers on the sunshine wall for teacher appreciation week!
