It was a very busy week in Madison and in the district! I had the pleasure of testifying in the Assembly Committee on Local Government for my bill with Rep. Nate Gustafson on local referendums. It is important to me for governments at all levels to be as transparent as possible, and that’s what this bill aims to accomplish.

I also testified in the Assembly Committee on Regulatory Licensing with Representative Joy Goeben for our bill that would allow DSPS to administer preliminary healthcare credentials to recent graduates while their application for a license is being processed. I was happy to see that this resonated with committee members.

As a Bay Lakes Council Board Member, I was happy to hear that the Boy Scouts were coming down to Madison this past Wednesday. I had the pleasure to meet with young scouts from all across Wisconsin, hearing all about the great things they have been doing over the past year!

In addition, my staff and I had productive meetings with:

  • Winnebago County- Department of Health Services
  • Outagamie County- Department of Health Services
  • Wisconsin Counties Association
  • Democracy Found
  • WI Builders Association
  • National Association of Social Workers
  • Mechanical Contractors Association
  • Professional Agricultural Consultants

Please stop by and share with me and other legislators what your top priorities are for the biennial budget and legislative session. I hope to see you there!


Budget Process

Wisconsin is at its strongest fiscal position in decades. Republicans will continue to do what we’ve done, and that is legislate fiscal responsibility.

The Joint Finance Committee has one last Budget Listening Session, like the previous three, the meeting will run from 10am to 5pm:

Wednesday, April 26th
Lakeland Union High School
9573 State Highway 70, Minocqua

If you don’t have the opportunity to travel to the last public hearing and want members of the Joint Finance Committee to hear your thoughts and suggestions for our upcoming biennial budget, you can submit feedback to: https://legis.wisconsin.gov/topics/budgetcomments/
As taxpayers and members of our community, your input is vital to this process… I encourage you to take time and share your thoughts!
