If elected to the WI Supreme Court, we can't trust him to side with Wisconsinites over wealthy insurance and drug companies.

Many have asked how it could cost $17.5 million to confine just over 100 unhoused people to a warehouse for 90 days.

A three-part strategy to respond to this crisis.
1. Fight back against the MAGA/DOGE assault on our country and hold all GOP politicians accountable.
2. Lift up Dems who are doing the right thing.
3. Win elections.
