Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a young candidate from Wisconsin looking to strengthen the working class, protect family farms from corporate control, and ensure a livable climate for future generations of Wisconsinites. I received my undergraduate degree from Marquette University and am in my final year at Harvard Law School. I hope to be able to use what I have learned throughout my education to help vulnerable classes of people achieve economic and social stability.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• The National Labor Relations Act needs to be re-written to better protect workers.
• We need federal legislation to protect abortion and bodily autonomy.
• New climate legislation needs to be enacted to protect our environment from corporate abuses.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about protecting our ecosystems from pollution and destructive practices. I am passionate about worker's rights, having studied it throughout my undergraduate degree and law school. I am similarly interested in economic and social equality between geographic, racial, and ethic groups.
