Fed up, fired up, ready to win.

When I think about why I'm running for Governor, it always comes back to people — the ones who get up every day and quietly take care of everyone around them.

Marty Schreiber is one of those people, and today I'm humbled to share that he's endorsing our campaign.

Most folks know Marty as Wisconsin's 39th governor. But what I admire most came after his time in office. For nearly twenty years, he cared for his wife Elaine as she lived with Alzheimer's — and instead of keeping that to himself, he turned it outward, writing and speaking to families across the country so they'd know they weren't alone.

I understand that journey more than I ever expected to. I helped care for my own father through Alzheimer's while I was working as a nurse and raising my kids. It teaches you something you don't forget: the measure of a community is how we look after one another when things get hard.

That's the Wisconsin I'm fighting for — one where good health care isn't a privilege, where working families aren't left on their own, and where the people who give so much of themselves are finally seen and supported.

Marty, thank you. I'm honored to earn your trust.

There's a Wisconsin where everyone belongs. I walked through it today in Walker's Point.

Looking out for your neighbors is the most Wisconsin value there is — and people at today's Milwaukee Pride parade lived it for decades before anyone cheered, showing up when it took courage, turning a fight into a festival.

As governor, I'll lead with those same values. No family wondering whether their government is on their side. No kid growing up believing they're up for debate. In Wisconsin, y’all means all.

Happy Pride, Wisconsin. What was your favorite moment today? 💙

Kenosha was the first stop after announcing my run for governor. I keep coming back — because Kenosha doesn't quit, and neither do I.

This morning it was the labor breakfast: strong coffee, stronger people. Senator Bob Wirch and Representative Ben DeSmidt have spent their careers fighting for working families in this town.

Here's my promise to every worker: I'll restore your rights, bring back prevailing wage, and make sure a hard day's work earns a good life again. That's the job. 🤝

I grew up in a working-class family. My grandparents were dairy farmers, my mom was a union teaching assistant, and my dad served during Vietnam and fixed phones.

I learned early what it means to work hard and still need things to go right. Those are the families I’m fighting for.

From Kenosha to Superior, and at every stop in between, each conversation I have reminds me how much is at stake.

Wisconsinites are working hard and still coming up short on health care, childcare, housing, groceries. That's not okay. And it's exactly why I'm running to make life better and more affordable for all of us.
