I know families need a strong foundation to be successful. Jobs, Healthcare and Housing. Once you are able to feed and clothe your family, keep them healthy and have a roof over your heads for shelter, then and only then, can a family begin to reach their potential.
For three decades I have worked to help families and now its time for me to write the policies and the laws to make sure all families have a strong foundation. When we achieve this, our communities, state and country grow stronger. I want to lead families to a better life. I want to return to Madison and fight for the families of the 75th and the state of Wisconsin.- Families need clothing and food, Good paying Jobs support successful families. JOBS
- Families need affordable healthcare to be physically well and to be in good spirits. Families and communities need healthcare to keep the economy running. HEALTHCARE
- Families need affordable housing to keep a roof over their heads, to have a shelter to weather any storm. HOUSING
Broadband fits into jobs as more and more businesses need broadband to compete in the world. Workers who were able to do work from home need broadband. Many of our healthcare needs can be met with broadband. Rural patients can meet with doctors virtually instead of in person. Broadband is needed in our homes for our children to access school work and to improve the education of not just children but adults as well to be lifelong learners.
Education fits into all three. Businesses need talented workers who have the skills to produce products for the worldwide market. Education helps families is needed to produce the healthcare workers in each community. Education raises the value of homes and when you have a successful school system its reflected in the housing of the community.
