That pesky billionaire is sucking up all of the air around here, but there’s another race you need to have on your radar:

📚 Vote Dr. Jill Underly to head up the Dept of Public Instruction! 📚

We’re gonna need all the help we can get and she’s fiercely dedicated to ensuring ALL kiddos get the education they deserve.

Surrounding myself with friends and leaders who are fiercely dedicated to bringing the data, sharing the stories, and building that community is my antidote to all that’s happening, especially in the areas that I came to know and love during the campaign last year.

I met so many incredible people in New London, so it was a real treat to have Francesca Hong (and Tim!) come up and talk about what will happen if/when those federal Medicaid cuts happen, and the reality is this: a lot of folks will suffer.

I said it to the group gathered tonight, but it bears repeating — if your platform and policies seek to harm the most vulnerable members of our communities as an elected official, maybe public service isn’t the job for you.

We’re going to keep protecting our people and building power here in NE Wisconsin. Just you watch. 🇺🇸

Let’s bring this one home, Wisconsin! 🧀

This is your daily reminderrrrrrr that these out-of-state billionaires are throwing CRAZY amounts of money at Wisconsin in their attempt to win our state Supreme Court election bc they know how critical it will be as the federal government continues to dismantle the institutions and guardrails meant to protect and serve us.

Don’t let them win.

Make a plan to vote for 🇺🇸 Judge Susan Crawford 🇺🇸 on or before April 1.

(Also, overturn Citizens United.)

The Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP) funds lifesaving research for veterans, service members, and everyday Americans battling serious diseases like my son has. And in case you missed it, this funding was slashed because of a careless word search targeting anything related to DEI.

It’s worth noting that in research, DEI isn’t about politics—it’s about making sure treatments work for everyone, including our troops and their families. Without diverse testing, we risk treatments that don’t work for all populations, including the very people who serve our country.

To make matters worse, instead of doing its job, Congress let unelected officials (Elon Musk and DOGE) make these cuts, risking research that helps people with brain injuries, PTSD, cancer, and other serious conditions.

***For the record, none of these diseases have been linked to fluoride, red dye, vaccines, or diet:
• Veteran and military injuries (Brain injuries, PTSD, burns, prosthetics)
• Serious diseases (Parkinson’s, ALS, Autism, Chronic Pain)
• Common cancers (Breast, Lung, Prostate, Pancreatic)

This research saves lives. Cutting it is dangerous.

I’ve been a rare disease mom for seven years and I WILL NOT stop fighting for my son, for families like mine, and for every American who deserves a shot at better treatments, better quality of life, and—oh god, we hope—a cure. 💙💚

Hey New London, Hortonville, and friends in the surrounding area, did you know that 12% of the people in Outagamie County and 14% of those living in Waupaca County are receiving services via Medicaid?

With cuts being made at the federal level, a heckuva lot of folks are going to be left in a lurch, and we want to be sure you’ve got a chance to ask questions and connect to local resources that will help you get by.

If we can’t depend on our electeds to do the right thing, we’ll have to depend on each other.

Hope to see you there!

President Trump and Congressional Republicans want to cut the Department of Education and sell out our kids and schools to help pay for tax cuts for rich millionaires and billionaires.

This is bad for our kids and bad for our schools. My statement ⬇️

We see you, Congressman Tony Wied 👀

We’re going to organize all over the district so every one of your constituents who is, knows, or loves someone receiving Medicaid knows exactly where you stand and who you serve (it’s clearly not them).

Secretary Linda McMahon would be directed to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure” based on “the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.”

Ahead of last night’s State of the Union address I joined hundreds of neighbors in Houdini Plaza in Appleton to rally against dangerous and harmful policies and for the world we aim to create, together.

We saw teachers, retirees, Medicaid recipients, members of the LGBTQ community, laborers, immigrants, families, small business owners, environmentalists and more gather together because we understand our collective future is all tangled together.

Your wellbeing is tied to mine.

We understand that now more than ever. That basic rights and dignity for all people takes nothing from anyone else. That the rising costs of childcare, rents or mortgages, healthcare, and groceries impacts all of us. That a feeling of safety and value in our own communities is something we all should be able to enjoy. That no matter who you are, where you come from, what you believe, or who you love, acceptance and success in this country and the ideals it was founded upon should be within reach for all of us.

I could go on and on about what was said and done in Washington DC last night — but I, like you, am tired of it.

Instead I’m going to look for the helpers, just like Mr. Rogers taught me 30-some years ago. I’m going to focus on the on the community I saw gather together, and link arms with those who are looking toward and working for a brighter future for all of us.

I’m going to focus on the good, and help when my neighbors need it in whatever way I can. I’m so heartened to see so many in this community who are dedicated to doing the same. ♥️

Forward, together.

We’re going to keep showing up for each other.

Thanks to all who joined to voice their concerns last night!

Help. Educate. Hold them accountable.

That’s my plan.

***don’t get it twisted. Dangerous, hateful rhetoric is not allowed and there is no point in trying to have a conversation with some folks. But until they show me that I’m really gonna try to give them a chance.
