ⓘ What do the party and ideology labels mean?
On the ballot, partisan candidates run under a party — in Wisconsin almost always Democratic or Republican, with the occasional third-party or independent candidate. Words like progressive, conservative, libertarian, or democratic socialist are labels people use to describe themselves, not separate parties on the ballot. A label is a starting point; each candidate's sourced positions show where they actually stand.
How we do this →ⓘ What is a voting record showing me?
A roll-call vote is a recorded yes/no vote in the legislature; 'aye' means yes and 'no' means no. A 'deciding vote' is one that changed the outcome. These are the candidate's actual recorded votes, linked to the official record.

I’m grateful for every opportunity to serve, lead, and give back to our community and the country I care so deeply about. This past weekend, I had the opportunity to serve in a different way through my Air Force Reserve duties during drill weekend. Whether it’s serving in uniform or serving right here at home, I’m proud to answer the call.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This session, I’m proud to have helped pass Gail’s Law, which requires insurance to fully cover supplemental screenings for women at increased risk of breast cancer. Cancer affects far too many Wisconsin families. Early detection can make a real difference, and no woman should have to choose between getting the screening she needs and what she can afford.
