The 2% Rate Cap Bill that Rep. Francesca Hong and I just introduced will cap monthly utility payments at 2% of income — for every household in Wisconsin. Period.
As it is phased in, this becomes a universal, automatic protection. No hoops. No humiliation. No one having to beg for relief. (1/2)

We are so excited to propose a 2% cap on utility bills for households in Wisconsin who need it most. This directly confronts the affordability crisis in Wisconsin, providing direct relief for those struggling with spiraling energy costs.

Trump promised he would reduce the burden of food insecurity faced by communities across the country.
But ten months in, our communities are facing a deeper food apartheid: a sudden lack healthcare access, and a federal governmental shut down due to his Administration's cruel indifference. (1/6)

We followed that up by knocking doors and talking to folks just around the corner from Parkway Elementary School in Glendale.
And at Nicolet, we found our Communications Director Tim Schaefer's 2001 yearbook photo, and are now publishing it against their will! (Jk jk, they don’t mind.)
