Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor. Wife. Proud mom. Nurse. Running for governor to fight for affordability, opportunity, and the future Wisconsin deserves.
In the ER, I didn’t ask anyone who they voted for. I asked what they needed — and how fast we could help.

That’s the kind of governor I plan to be.

Honored to have Kenny Harper’s support. He’s right: when we fund communities, we fund opportunity, and affordability must be front and center.

As governor, I’ll work with local leaders to grow strong, affordable, thriving communities across Wisconsin.

The stories I hear on the trail are tough.

But the hope I see in people is tougher.

That’s what keeps me going, and that’s what this campaign is about.

When working people win, Wisconsin wins.

Honored to have the support of AFSCME as we build an economy that actually works for workers, not just CEOs.

Thank you to everyone who bundled up, came out, and helped make the Waukesha Christmas Parade so special. ❄️🎄

Moments like this remind me why I love Wisconsin—and why I’m fighting every day for communities just like this one.

In 2026, Wisconsin has a real chance to win a trifecta — and we can finally lower costs for working families.

Imagine a Wisconsin where health care is affordable, housing is within reach, schools are strong, and child care doesn’t break the bank.

That future is within reach. Let’s go get it.

Threatening to yank funding because our state won’t hand over people’s personal information is cruel and counterproductive. I stand with Governor Evers and AG Kaul in fighting back. In Wisconsin, we should be making it easier to keep food on the table — not harder.

Rural Wisconsin deserves more than campaign-season drive-bys.

It deserves real investment and leaders who actually listen.

Thank you to Joshua Pettis for this endorsement and for speaking the truth about the challenges facing Osseo and small towns statewide. We solve these problems together.

This is outrageous.

Today’s vote guts newborn hepatitis B protections, ignores decades of science, and puts politics over kids’ health.

I’m a mom, nurse, and former CDC officer — and we need leaders who defend public health, not dismantle it.

Wisconsinites are loud and clear: life is too expensive.

Health premiums are rising. Subsidies are on the chopping block. Families are stretched thin.

We can fix it — with real leadership that puts people first, not politics.
For voters in the swing state of Wisconsin, affordability is top of mind
A recent NPR/PBS News/Marist poll found nearly 6-in-10 voters say President Trump's top priority should be lowering prices. That concern is being expressed loudly in the swing state of Wisconsin.

Had a great night in Appleton talking about health care, housing, and the cost of everything.

Folks here are ready for a governor who will roll up her sleeves and make life a little less expensive and a lot more fair.

I’ve visited all 72 counties in Wisconsin several times over, and what I hear everywhere I go is life is too damn expensive – from groceries and doctor’s visits to rent and childcare.

It’s time to tackle our cost of living crisis head on.

“Milwaukee County can count on her — and so can Wisconsin.”

Thank you, Israel Ramón, for your trust. I’m running to make sure more families can reach the milestones he sees every day — with lower costs, safer communities, and leaders who bring people together.

Health care is the #1 issue for Wisconsin families — and I’m the only candidate in this race who’s actually worked inside the system. I’ve been a nurse, a public health leader, and now Lt. Governor, and I know what it takes to fix what’s broken.

From Eau Claire to Kenosha to Superior — I’m showing up. Meeting folks where they are. Listening. Talking about what’s really keeping families up at night: health care, housing, child care, and costs. Wisconsin doesn’t need a headline. It needs a governor who does the work.

Last week the Trump administration announced new rules that say nursing isn’t a professional degree. As a nurse — and someone who has watched nurses save lives every single day — I have thoughts. Video below ⬇️

This disrespects nurses and harms patients. I’m running for governor to build a WI where health care is accessible, affordable — and where nurses are treated like the highly trained professionals we are. To all my fellow nurses: I see you. I’m with you. And I’ll fight for you every single day.
December 2, 2025 at 2:45 AM
Grateful today — and every day — for this state and the people who make it home. To everyone gathering with loved ones, delivering meals, working a shift, or spending the day in service: thank you.

Wishing you warmth, rest, and a full plate.
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃✨

Grateful for Aron Newberry’s support. He’s right — everything is connected. Public health, housing, the economy, education — it all impacts how we live and whether families can thrive. We’re going to build a Wisconsin where it all works together.

Wisconsin families shouldn’t have to choose between caring for their kids, their parents, and keeping health insurance. Health care is on the ballot in 2026 — and I’m running to make sure no family has to face these impossible choices again.

Senator Bob Wirch has spent years fighting for working families — and I’m grateful to have his support in this race. He knows I’ve led from the front lines as a nurse and inside the Capitol, and that together we can deliver real results for Wisconsin.

Nothing energizes me more than standing with Wisconsinites who want the same thing: a state where it doesn’t feel impossible to get ahead. People are ready for a governor who’s laser-focused on solving the real problems they face every day.
November 24, 2025 at 10:31 PM
Wisconsin families feel it everywhere — housing, child care, groceries, health care.
Affordability isn’t one issue, it’s every issue. Thanks to Eau Claire leaders for the honest conversation. We fix this by working together.

Happy birthday to my son! Somehow he's already 19.

As a mom, I think about families across WI who want their kids to have a future where they can put down roots, build a life, and feel supported by their community. That’s the WI I’m working toward — for my kids and for yours. 💛🎉
