Yesterday I rose to address the State Assembly for the final time. It was fitting to speak in favor of Assembly Bill 37, which would make much needed changes to Wisconsin’s expungement law, allowing individuals with low level convictions to earn a second chance.

Take a look and remember, it’s for Shanyeill and all the Shanyeills out there that deserve a second chance. We all have someone in our lives like this. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to hear about the bill and how we can help. drive.google.com/file/d/1PtB…

Every child born in Wisconsin would get an education savings account under new legislation

Under the bill, $25 would be deposited into each child's account under a 529 college savings program dubbed "WisKids."

This fall I received hundreds of completed surveys from constituents about issues important to you. One of the top priorities was climate change. Today I am proud to stand with my colleagues as we introduce a package of legislation that will help address the climate crisis. (1/2)

I recently testified before the Senate Judiciary & Public Safety Committee in support of Senate Bill 172. This important bill helps create a single place for individuals to turn to for re-entry services making support, program enrollment, and delivery more efficient and effective

I was honored to welcome @GovEvers to the 18th AD for the announcement of a special session to address our state's workforce challenges. I implore my Republican colleagues to sincerely confront the child care crisis. Working families need meaningful & comprehensive solutions.

And thank you Tiny Green Trees for the service you provide. Child care centers truly are the workforce behind the workforce — our economy couldn't function without you. My son, Miguel, joined me at the event and was very sad to learn he couldn't join in with the kids having fun.
