Sarah Harrison is a business executive, a mother of two teenagers, and a believer in serving her community. As the head of a single-income household, Sarah understands the financial challenges that many Wisconsin families face.

Years of service in business management roles and on volunteer committees give Sarah hands-on experience listening to diverse points of view, and collaborating with others to find the best solution for complex issues. Sarah manages a team of engineers who design systems to move materials in an ergonomic manner. Her past logistics roles include distribution operations, transportation, and supply chain management. Sarah's non-profit work includes volunteering for hunger mitigation, environmental clean-up, and tutoring at-needs students.

Sarah and her family currently live in Brookfield, and have lived in Waukesha County for seventeen years. She grew up in the small community of Ely, Iowa. Sarah has a B.A. in Communication Studies from the University of Iowa and an MBA in Executive Management from UW-Madison. Sarah and her kids enjoy writing and playing music, attending concerts, and roller skating together.

  • Reproductive rights: Abortion is healthcare. Healthcare decisions should be between individuals and their doctors. I will fight to restore reproductive freedom in Wisconsin.
  • Public Health & Safety: Affordable and accessible healthcare, including mental health and substance use resources, is a basic human right. Gun violence is a serious public safety issue. Universal background checks and restrictions on military-grade firearms will keep us safer.
  • Education: Everyone should have access to a quality public education. Public education benefits students and parents, and enriches our community. Educational policy decisions should be based on academic impact on students, workplace impact on faculty and staff, and financial viability.
I am passionate about the issues of reproductive rights, healthcare, education, and reducing gun violence.
