Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor. Wife. Proud mom. Nurse. Running for governor to fight for affordability, opportunity, and the future Wisconsin deserves.
“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.

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.

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. 💛🎉

As a state senator, Tom Tiffany introduced the “abortion reversal” bill — a claim medical experts say is false and unsafe.

Now the GOP legislature is using that same blueprint to push a bill based on more false claims.

This is Tiffany’s playbook and exactly the agenda he would sign as governor.

Risks for new moms don’t end after 60 days. Every doctor knows that. Every mom knows that.

But Republicans in the Assembly still blocked a bipartisan bill to extend postpartum Medicaid to 12 months—despite overwhelming support.

When I’m governor, Wisconsin will do better.

Republican leadership sided against new moms, babies, and basic health care — again – to block postpartum Medicaid coverage. If you needed a reminder of what’s at stake in 2026, here it is.

When the people who keep our state running choose to stand with you, it means a lot. It’s time to give workers their power back: repeal Act 10, end right-to-work, restore prevailing wage, and make Wisconsin a state where work really pays again.

As the daughter of a proud union teaching assistant, this endorsement from AFSCME hits home. I’ve been on the frontlines – in the ER, in public health, and in the Capitol – and I’ll never stop fighting for Wisconsin’s workers.

Health care is on the ballot in 2026 — and Wisconsin families deserve a governor who actually understands it. I’m running for governor to make sure no one has to worry about losing coverage, skipping care, or getting crushed by premiums.

RFK Jr.’s chaos at HHS is hurting families, driving up health care costs, and undermining vaccines that keep our kids safe. As a nurse and former CDC epidemic intelligence officer, I’ll always stand up to dangerous misinformation — no matter who it comes from.

If you’re keeping score at home: 72 counties in Wisconsin = 72 counties with leaders endorsing our campaign.

That’s what statewide momentum looks like. Let’s go. 💚💛

I will always fight to make health care more affordable — not less. And I’ll stand up to anyone, including @TomTiffanyWI, who puts political games ahead of Wisconsin families’ health.
November 16, 2025 at 9:11 PM
16 years. That’s how long Republicans like @TomTiffanyWI have had to come up with an alternative to the ACA. Still no plan. Still playing games with people’s health care.

Wisconsin families deserve better.
