Food service worker. Small business owner.

First transgender woman elected to the Madison Common Council. 🏳️‍⚧️

Running for State Assembly in District 76 to protect our rights and make life affordable for working people.

Families across Wisconsin are dealing with real issues: rising costs, underfunded schools, unaffordable housing and healthcare. And Republicans in the legislature can't even be bothered to show up for work.

When Democrats win the trifecta, we’re going to get our state government working for the people. We’re going to raise wages, build more housing, fully fund our public schools, and pass laws that actually help Wisconsinites.

We deserve better. Let’s make it happen.

The difference could not be more clear.

Proud to be a 2026 Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate! This distinction is a commitment to advocating for gun violence prevention and governing with gun safety in mind.

In the Assembly, I will work to pass commonsense gun safety measures, including universal background checks, red flag laws, and a ban on semi-automatic rifles. I’ll also fight for greater investments in violence intervention and require every county to provide free, state-funded gun locks.

We need to be doing so much more to address the epidemic of gun violence in Wisconsin. Measures like these aren’t just common sense – they will save lives.

Bodily autonomy is intimately linked to so many other fundamental freedoms. In the Assembly, I will always stand strong for an individual’s right to make decisions about their own body.

I will fight to ensure that abortion is accessible in every county, protect access to contraception and IVF, and partner with reproductive health clinics to ensure they are receiving full support from the state.

Because every Wisconsinite should be able to make their own healthcare decisions without fear, judgment, or interference from politicians.
