Last night, the Fitchburg City Council approved a $40 wheel tax—a tough but necessary step to support our city’s growth. I urge residents to join me in pushing for fair state funding. #FitchburgWI #WheelTax #InvestInFitchburg

Happy Black History Month! ✊🏾

Black history-it’s a legacy, a movement, and a daily celebration of resilience, excellence, and culture. While February shines a special spotlight.

No policy, signature, or setback can erase the power of our history or dim the brilliance of our future.

Enough is enough!

Today’s shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison is heartbreaking. Schools should be safe places for learning, not tragedy. No child should have access to a gun, and no teacher or student should live in fear in the classroom.
