Democracy &
accountability
Government should work for us, not the other way around.
When you elect someone to represent you, you expect them to show up, tell the truth, and do the job.
Too many politicians in Madison treat power like a game instead of a responsibility.
The Problem
Wisconsin’s government isn’t working the way it should — not because people have stopped caring, but because too many elected officials have stopped listening.
Voter confidence is shaken and political power has become concentrated in the hands of a few instead of the communities that make this state strong.
Meanwhile, state leaders continue to make major decisions behind closed doors: cutting deals, ignoring public hearings, and refusing to show up in their own districts.
That kind of politics breeds apathy — and apathy is exactly what keeps broken systems in place.
I’ve met too many people who tell me they’ve stopped voting because they feel like it doesn’t matter. That’s not on them — that’s on us. When representatives disappear between elections or treat public service like a part-time gig, it’s no wonder people lose faith.
What I’ll Do
Show up — consistently. I’ll hold regular listening sessions, town halls, and office hours in every part of the district so constituents can reach me directly.
Increase transparency by pushing for stronger open records laws and requiring public input before major legislation is fast-tracked.
Support permanent fair maps drawn by a nonpartisan commission, so every vote counts and every community has a voice.
Protect voting rights by expanding early voting, safeguarding ballot drop boxes, and ensuring rural and elderly voters have access to the polls.
Reject partisan gamesmanship and focus on what actually improves lives — because accountability doesn’t stop after Election Day.
Why It Matters
Democracy only works when the people in power remember who they work for. Good government isn’t about one party winning — it’s about making sure families, farmers, and small business owners have someone who listens and acts with integrity.
I got into this work because I was tired of watching decisions being made for us instead of with us. When we restore trust in the process — by showing up, telling the truth, and inviting people in — we make space for something better than politics as usual.
Wisconsin deserves leaders who answer the phone, return emails, and show up — not just for the cameras, but for the community.
That’s what representation looks like. That’s how we get our democracy back.
