- As a former Alderman in West Allis, I understand the needs of our community. I’ve been a progressive champion leading the efforts combating climate change, supporting affordable housing initiatives, and advocating for racial justice and LGBTQ+ rights. I’ve been on the frontlines of fighting to make our community the best it can for all people to succeed and make our community a place we can all be proud to call home.
- Inspired by the idea of service for our community, I served in the Wisconsin Army National Guard. I proudly served and conducted my drill all across Wisconsin from Fort Atkinson to Watertown to Camp Douglas and Fort McCoy. I understand the importance of servant leadership.
- I'm excited to work alongside District 14 residents to create positive change. My priorities are supporting families, investing in our future, and co-creating a strong and resilient community. I believe in protecting the environment, investing in public education, supporting affordable housing initiatives, and expanding access to childcare and healthcare. I look forward to working together to make our community the best it can be for everyone.
I’m also very passionate about economic policy and public finance. I believe budgets are moral documents and that we need to look out for the financial wellbeing of all people no matter their background. We need to increase access to affordable housing, tax the rich and wealthy, cancel student loan debt, make healthcare more accessible, and increase funding for public education.

While at UW-Madison, This sense of duty led me to enlist in the National Guard. I have years of experience in political finance, building progressive power, and now I work on nonprofit development for an environmental group called Wisconsin Conservation Voters. I joined WCV because I believe climate change is the most pressing issue of our time.
As an Alderman in my hometown, West Allis, I’ve been a progressive champion leading the efforts combating climate change, supporting affordable housing initiatives, and advocating for racial justice and LGBTQ+ rights. I’ve been on the frontlines of fighting to make our community the best it can be.
With my experiences as a veteran, a political and nonprofit finance expert, and with my record as a progressive champion, I have what it takes to be a treasurer that can help us secure a more prosperous and sustainable future for all Wisconsinites.
- Economic Security. Every Wisconsinite deserves to achieve their full potential and they need good paying jobs, stable housing, and affordable healthcare to accomplish this.
- Taxpayer Transparency. You deserve to know where your tax dollars are going and I'll be a strong fiscal watchdog to hold our spending accountable.
- Investing in Wisconsin's Future. As State Treasurer, I'll be a progressive champion fighting to invest in our values and do everything we can to combat climate change, improve public education, and so much more.
I’m also very passionate about economic policy and public finance. I believe budgets are moral documents and that we need to look out for the financial wellbeing of all people no matter their background. We need to increase access to affordable housing, tax the rich and wealthy, cancel student loan debt, increase retirement security, make healthcare more accessible, and increase funding for public education.

Scorecards
Ascorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
