I am a seasoned leader having spent over 25 years as a healthcare executive and CEO. I have served my community of the local school board and have served on the boards of multiple not-for-profit organizations aimed at improving the lives of people in western Wisconsin.

My husband and I are life-long residents of the area and raised our 5 children here. We plan to continue to live in the area.

My mission is to ensure Wisconsin is a great place to live, work, play, and raise a family - now and for generations to come.
  • I am a trained problem solver - I will seek to identify the FACTS about any issue. I will seek to understand the PERSPECTIVES and OPINIONS of all people. I will always seek to collaborate with interested parties to explore ALL OPTIONS and identify SOLUTIONS that are feasible and in the best interest of the people of Wisconsin.
  • I am a person of high integrity. The TRUTH matters. As an elected official I will take my obligation to share the truth seriously and use my position to educate our communities on the issues and possible solutions.
  • I work hard.
1. Healthcare - Access to affordable healthcare, close to home. In addition to traditional medical care, people need access to behavioral healthcare, treatment for substance use disorder / addiction, and access to reproductive healthcare services.

2. Education - As our Constitution states - we need to provide an excellent, equitable, non-sectarian education to every child in Wisconsin. I believe that is best done through our public education system.

3. Our economy - supporting good businesses and the rights of employees / workers.

4. The environment - keeping our air and water clean for future generations.

5. Our democracy - fair maps - free elections with secure and convenient voting - and, campaign finance reform.
My father - He was a calm and caring person who always sought to do his best.
No - I try to understand and appreciate multiple perspectives and philosophies and seek to understand how and where they might be applied.
I have three simple rules I live by:

1. Assume goodness - Assume others are generally acting out of good intent. Usually, they are.
2. Choose joy - Choose, daily, to find reasons to be joyful.
3. Proceed with grace - We will face challenging situations. There is always a way to move forward with grace.

These habits rest on the following values - Not in order of priority - all are important:
1. Curiosity - always seek to learn about issues and others.
2. Caring - care about those impacted by decisions.
3. Collaboration - work with others.
4. Consensus - seek first to get to agreement, if possible.
5. Courage - step up in the face of adversity.
6. Character - be a person of high integrity.
7. Competence - learn what you need to know.
8. Confidence - believe in yourself, and others.
9. Calm - maintain a calming presence.

10. Communication - share information with others.
I seek and speak truth.

I am a trained and experience problem solver who can work with others to cut through the chaos and get things done.
With others:

1. To ensure the future sustainability of Wisconsin's economy, environment, and society.

2. To establish a vision and strategic direction for the State of Wisconsin.

3. To develop and maintain public policies that support the achievement of the established vision.
Wisconsin will be a great place to work, live, and play - and, a great place to raise a family.
Building strength and sustainability in the following areas:

1. Economy
2. Workforce
3. Education System
4. Environment

5. Social infrastructure
I believe it is vital for state legislators to have knowledge and understanding of local government. That can be gained with or without actual service. I appreciate the deep understanding I have gained through my service on the local school board the various county board committees.
Ye, of course. We cannot appreciate the perspectives of others if we do not know them and have relationships with them. I will seek to build relationships with everyone I work with.
Many women have shared their pregnancy, birth, and abortion stories with me. They have all been very personal and moving. One woman shared with me, through tears, that she had never told anyone her abortion story before. She thanked me for running for office and for advocating for reproductive healthcare.

I am a lifelong resident of River Falls, WI. My husband, David Page, and I raised our five children here and plan to continue to live in River Falls. We have seven grandchildren.

I am a graduate of River Falls High School. After high school, I attended UW-Madison before transferring to Marquette University where I received a bachelor’s degree in nursing. I continued my education at the University of Minnesota, receiving both a Master of Science degree in nursing and a Master of Healthcare Administration degree.

I have worked in health care my entire life, first as a nurse’s aide, then a registered nurse and for the past 26 years as a health care administrator and CEO. Most recently, from 2009 to 2022, I was the CEO of Western Wisconsin Health in Baldwin, WI. Prior to that, I worked for Fairview Health System in Minnesota as VP of operations in Red Wing and as the chief safety officer for the system.

In addition to my career, I have served many terms on the River Falls Board of Education, the Western Wisconsin Workforce Development Board, the Kinnickinnic River Land Trust board, the University of Minnesota Alumni Association board, the Family Resource Center of St. Croix Valley board, Adoray Home Health and Hospice, and others.

  • As a lifelong resident of western Wisconsin, I understand, and care deeply about, life in rural communities.
  • As a parent and grandmother, I am passionate about ensuring our freedoms for future generations.
  • I will bring professionalism, collaboration, and grace to our state legislature. We cannot continue to tolerate the partisan politics in our democracy. We need our elected officials to reach across the aisle and collaborate to solve problems and address the issues that matter to Wisconsinites. I have spent the last 26 years bringing people with diverse views together to solve problems in my job as a healthcare administrator, but also as a member of the many board of directors on which I have served. I will do the same in Madison.
1. Healthcare: Ensure access to healthcare for all Wisconsinites, including access to comprehensive reproductive health services.

3. Environment: Protect and preserve the purity of our air, water, and soil.

4. Economy: Support our core industries (e.g agriculture, tourism) while supporting the growth of businesses that contribute to our economy and the betterment of our society.
