We all respect the work our police, firefighters, & paramedics do for us & we don’t expect them to work for free. I’m grateful for Mr. Kranick’s endorsement because he understands this isn’t about politics. It’s about services you deserve living here in Wisconsin.

We’ve put together a clean comparison between Senator Kapenga and myself. We also included sources because accountability matters.

The senator says the biggest threat to Wisconsin is a “liberal governor”. I say it’s high prices. What do you say?

I hear many businesses say they can’t find good staff. This raises a larger concern that we don’t talk about. We need to respect everybody working to support their families. If they’re hired to do a job, it’s necessary to that biz & they should be treated as such. A high school diploma should allow you to build a comfortable life, not necessarily a luxurious life, but a comfortable life.

Why are we paying sales tax but not billionaires? @bWisconsinb

Even if this were true, there’s a simple solution. The state can fund schools & every extra dollar of state funding reduces the amount schools can tax w/o a referendum. The state is going to add $450M to the surplus dollars we already have this budget cycle. The state has the money WITHOUT raising taxes so why not fix the problem, Senator? #Wisconsin #taxes #schools

Neither party owns values like hard work, personal responsibility, fairness or freedom. Those are American values. This campaign is about advancing those values & when looking at any policy my #1 question is whether it actually lives up to them. Agree?⬇️ secure.actblue.com/donate/mi…

Good news! After 5 days diesel prices are only up another $0.50! This is good, right Senator Kapenga? We don’t need that surplus refund when fuel prices are going up so slowly.

PEAK EARNING YEARS SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE THE TIGHTEST ONES. Mid-career here means a mortgage, high grocery bills, and kids who need something every month. I'm running for State Senate on the three things that move that math: raising wages, lowering property taxes without raising income taxes on working families, and bringing child care and health costs down. It's simple, families should be able to pay the bills, handle an emergency, and build a good life. Judge me on whether we make progress on this.

.@SenatorKapenga you’re a sitting state senator, since you said “no” on the surplus package how about a gas tax holiday through December 2026? Families are getting crushed by these gas prices & high diesel is going to cause other prices to go up. We can backfill with surplus $$

I went to the Ocon Common Council meeting on Flock cameras. They voted to remove them after a thoughtful debate in which the public, the police and both sides of the issue were heard as they discussed safety and privacy issues, some of which I hadn't considered.

To me, state senators shouldn’t govern from Madison alone. They should show up in our towns, listen to local leaders, & bring those lessons back to Madison.

Local leaders are on the front lines of providing the services our communities rely on. As State Senator, I’ll make sure Madison gives them the resources and flexibility they need to do their jobs well. Proud to have the endorsement of Town of Delafield Chairman Edward Kranick.

One doesn't give up Constitutional rights because surveillance becomes cheap. I disagree with Will on many issues, but they're raising real questions with this suit. If our first reaction to news is "who's side are they on" rather than "are they right" we have a real problem.
New: Lawsuit challenges warrantless searches of Flock system in Waukesha County. 📸 The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) sues the county and municipalities. It wants police/deputies to get a WARRANT before searching the FLOCK database.

It’s weird because it’s a special election for the remaining 4 months of the term. Whoever wins in Dec will have to run again in April. Running 2 campaigns at the same time for a 4 month job that you can start campaigning for re-election before taking office the 1st time is weird
That's two Republican state legislators running for County Executive and for re-election at essentially the same time.
