ⓘ 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.

This campaign isn’t about climbing a political ladder. It’s about making sure our communities have someone fighting for their interests, not someone focused on party politics, insiders, or what looks good in the press. Washington County deserves representation that’s grounded in the people who live here. That’s why I’m running. Early voting has started, and the primary date is August 11th. I humbly ask for your support and your vote.

I don’t come from politics. I come from working in Washington County, serving in local organizations, talking with neighbors, and seeing firsthand the issues our communities deal with every day. I think that perspective matters. People are tired of polished political answers and representatives who seem more connected to Madison than to the communities they serve. This campaign is about bringing government closer to the people again, not the other way around.

What does "People Over Politics" mean to me? There’s been a lot of commentary on my campaign slogan, "People Over Politics." What it means to me is pretty simple. It means I believe the people of the 58th District should come before political parties, special interests, and the agendas coming out of Madison. I've lived in Washington County my entire life. I've spent years serving our community, working on conservation issues, and talking with neighbors at meetings, sporting events, and enjoying the outdoors. One thing I've learned is that people don't care much about political games. They want someone who will listen, use common sense, and do what's right. And that's how I'll serve if I'm elected. If a proposal is good for our communities, I'll support it. No matter who introduced it. If it's bad for our district, I'll oppose it. No matter which party is pushing it. You deserve nothing less from your elected representative. People Over Politics also means trusting the people who actually live here to make decisions about their own communities. Whether it's large-scale developments, solar or wind projects, data centers, or major transmission lines, local residents and local governments deserve a real voice. Decisions that permanently affect our communities shouldn't be forced on us by bureaucrats or political insiders hundreds of miles away. Telling constituents “Data Centers are inevitable, there’s nothing that can be done” is not acceptable, and you won’t hear that from me. At the end of the day, this campaign isn't about Republicans versus other Republicans or even Republicans versus Democrats. It's about representing the people who live here, protecting what makes our communities special, being a good steward of our land, respecting our freedoms, and making decisions based on what's best for the families of the 58th District. That's what People Over Politics means to me, and that's exactly how I'll serve.
