Happy Father's Day, Wisconsin. Spent the morning in Ripon for the FFA Alumni Country Breakfast. On a family farm what gets passed down isn't just the land. It's how you work. Show up. Take care of what you're given. Thinking about every dad doing the work today.

Tom Tiffany voted against making Juneteenth a federal holiday. And he voted against the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act — twice. A man who won't stand up for the freedom of every Wisconsinite has no business being governor of all of them.

Generations of courage have narrowed the gap between a promise made and a promise kept — but the work isn't finished. We carry that courage forward, toward a Wisconsin where freedom isn't just declared, it's lived. Happy Juneteenth.

Trump, asked about inflation hitting a 3-year high: "I love the inflation." Tom Tiffany has voted for his cost-raising agenda 100% of the time. Wisconsin families pay for it every month — at the store, at the pump, at the pharmacy. They love it. We don't.

Wisconsin hasn’t had a Democratic governor and Democratic majorities in the legislature in over 15 years. This is our shot – governor, legislature, all of it. That’s the difference between fighting for Wisconsin families and delivering for them.

Trump promised to lower costs on day one. Instead Wisconsin families are paying more for groceries, more for gas, more for health care, more for housing. Every single month. Congressman Tom Tiffany has done zilch about it. That tells you everything you need to know.

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 every stop in between, each conversation 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 why I'm running to make life more affordable.

I’m pretty sure half of Waukesha county was out this morning. Kids everywhere, lawn chairs all along the route. Grateful for a Memorial Day spent with neighbors.

My dad taught all of his kids to fold a flag the way he'd been taught in the Navy during Vietnam. I grew up understanding what military service asks of a family. My father came home. Too many didn't — and across Wisconsin today, families still hold the flag that was folded for them.

A Sunday like this is what hard work is supposed to buy you. Time at the farmers market. Time at the kid's game. Time with the people you love. Every family in Wisconsin has earned it.

Real campaigns are built one neighbor at a time — in cheese curd lines at Falls Memorial Fest. 🧀 Parents. Seniors. Small business owners. Every conversation today was a reminder of what's at stake in 2026 — and who we're fighting for. 💙

I'm running for governor because Wisconsin families deserve a fair shot at a good life: affordable health care, strong public schools, housing you can actually buy, childcare that doesn't eat half your paycheck. That's not too much to ask. And it's what I'll fight for every single day.

I worked night shifts as an ER nurse to pay my way through college. Later I was juggling a career, two kids, and caring for my dad through Alzheimer's. I know what it means to look at a calendar, a checkbook, and a child's face and do the math. That's why I'll never stop fighting for childcare.

Another Day Without Childcare

For the fifth year in a row, local childcare providers led an advocacy day aimed at bringing attention to the dire landscape of the current childcare funding situation in the state.

Today is #ADayWithoutChildCare. As a working mom, I know what it's like to scramble for care and to worry about affording it. Without child care, Wisconsinites can't work night shifts, serve their communities, or pursue their careers. Child care makes everything else possible.

30 years in health care. I've never seen a bill designed to do this much harm to this many people on purpose. $72 million a year - Wisconsin taxpayers footing the bill to kick people off their coverage. That's not a budget cut. That's cruelty with a price tag. Tom Tiffay voted for it. He owns it.

I got into public service for the same reason I became a nurse: to make a difference. As governor, I’m going to fund our public schools, create affordable health care options, lower the costs of childcare and housing, and give every Wisconsinite a shot at a good life.
