56th Assembly District Update: June 2, 2023

Making Airports Safer

This week I testified on Assembly 174, a bill I authored that will make airports safer from the dangers that certain animals can pose to human safety.

Also this week, the Senate companion bill to AB 174, Senate Bill 208, was successfully voted out of the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Energy on a vote of 5-0.

Happy Birthday, Wisconsin!

This week, on Memorial Day, the Great State of Wisconsin turned 175 years old!

Here’s a special 175th birthday wish for Wisconsin from its longest serving governor, Tommy Thompson:
