It’s Back to School Time!
The new school year is on the horizon. While parents cringe at the inevitable shopping rush and students excitedly look forward to the prospect of filling a cart with fresh back-to-school supplies and new clothes, the reality is that back to school shopping can be overwhelming and time-consuming. It’s a challenge to track down each item on a lengthy list and a feat of Olympic proportions when shopping for two or more children.
School Budget Highlights
- Our budget provides strong support for our public schools and the school choice programs, empowering parents to choose the school and type of education that is best for their child.
- Republicans continued funding public schools at our goal of two-thirds state funding, while also increasing funding for key categorical aids like special education, mental health and high-cost transportation aid.
- We provided a $325 per pupil increase in each year of the biennium—totaling $975 per student in new revenue over the biennium.

District 5 Local Visits
Brown County Fair time. We took in the Demo Derby as a family and I worked a few shifts in the 4H food stand. It was fun chatting with so many people.
The iconic National Football League (NFL) Draft is coming to Green Bay! This is not just a win for football fans, hosting this monumental event is a great opportunity to showcase our wonderful state. This event also promises a surge in revenue from visitors nationwide.
My gal and I visited the Grignon Mansion and had a great time at the car show. It was amazing to see all the support for preserving the beautiful history of our area.
I was able to attend a fundraiser for Maggie Z, who works at Shining Stars Childcare Center in Hobart.
