In the Fox Valley, we know the basics matter: keeping groceries affordable, paying the bills, and making sure property taxes are fair. But families are stretched thin because Madison and Washington keep kicking the can down the road.

School underfunding shifts costs onto property taxpayers. Inflation drives up the cost of food and fuel, while wages lag behind. And partisan chaos blocks real solutions. The system feels rigged against everyday families — and in favor of those already at the top.

I’ll work to bring stability back to our economy: fair school funding to ease the burden on local taxpayers, support for small businesses that keep money in our communities, and policies that help families keep more of what they earn. Because everyone deserves the chance to get ahead, not just scrape by.
