Brittany Kinser keeps claiming Jill Underly “lowered standards.”
But here’s the truth:
Wisconsin ranks 10th in the nation in cumulative NAEP scores—and 6th in the country in the latest U.S. News & World Report public education rankings.
That’s not failure. That’s results.

Trump’s cuts to local food programs are already hurting Wisconsin—schools, childcare centers, food banks, and farmers.
Brittany Kinser thinks “talking to Republicans” will fix it.
That’s not a plan. It’s naïve.

I’m proposing a $60M investment in Career & Technical Education across Wisconsin. This means better equipment, stronger programs, and real opportunities for students to graduate ready for the workforce. It’s time to raise the bar—and invest in their future.

Brittany Kinser wants to tie Wisconsin’s education system to a federal test that may not even exist next month.
It’s reckless, it’s out of touch, and it proves she’s more interested in political talking points than real education policy or a plan for the future.

“When asked about a shutdown Kinser said that so long as Wisconsin continues to receive the federal education funding it currently receives, she is open to changes.
But other than the money for student loans it appears that all other funding to Wisconsin…will be lost.”

Trump is cutting up to $1 billion from Wisconsin schools—and lobbyist Brittany Kinser’s response? “We will figure it out.”
That’s not a plan. That’s a shrug.

Jill Underly is fighting back as Trump and his allies try to dismantle public education.
She’s leading with experience, defending $1B in federal support, and pushing for $4B in new funding—because every Wisconsin kid deserves a great public school.

Trump isn’t negotiating—he’s slashing special ed, school meals, and teacher training right now.
Kinser refuses to stand up to him.

These programs are working—and they’re worth fighting for. If we let this funding go away, we’re not going to be able to help kids. We’re talking about mental health supports, after-school tutoring, and reading intervention. This is about giving kids what they need to succeed.

The Trump administration just cut a vital program that helped Wisconsin farmers and provided fresh food to our students—a win-win for our communities. This funding won’t be replaced, and WI schools will suffer.
And lobbyist Brittany Kinser? She says “it’s fine.”
