Priorities

Hearing from constituents is the most important part of my job as your representative. When it comes time to vote on legislation, I consider all constituent input I have received so I can vote in the best interest of Wisconsinites. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to reach out to me and fill out surveys my office sends out. I am grateful for the opportunity to be your voice in Madison, and I appreciate hearing from you. 
This has been a very busy session for me. During the session, I:

• held 25 public hearings as Chair of the Assembly Health Committee
  
• attended over 55 additional public hearings for my other committee assignments
  
• received over 3,000 contacts from constituents 
  
• Provided the opportunity for over 20,000 of my constituency to give their input on the state’s biennial budget.  
  
• Sent out over 50 e-update newsletters, keeping you in the district informed on current legislation
  
• Drove over 25,000 miles around the District and down to Madison
  
• Co-sponsored over 100 pieces of legislation
  
• Authored 25 bills ​
