ⓘ 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.

Senate Joint Resolution 116 proposes a constitutional amendment to eliminate the governor's partial veto power to create, increase, or authorize any tax or fee. This issue largely came to light in the wake of Governor Evers' decision last session to authorize and enable property tax increases for the next 400 years. This proposal has passed both chambers in consecutive sessions, and the fate of the amendment will now fall into the hands of the voters in November. If this amendment is adopted, it will limit partial veto authority and ensure that any increases in taxes or fees receive legislative approval.

Supporting the entrepreneurial spirit is fundamental to our prosperity. That’s why I supported AB 266, which waives the LLC filing fee for 18-year-olds still in high school. Eliminating this barrier to entry in the business world for young adults could open the door for the next generation to become business leaders in Wisconsin. This exemption already exists for college students, and removing this fee for those still in high school is a straightforward step to benefit student entrepreneurs. Whether they’re creating new tech or offering lawn care services, AB 266 encourages more young people to explore entrepreneurship and keep Wisconsin competitive.

Today the Assembly passed the Justice for All Act that I authored with Senator Eric Wimberger. This legislation is critical to solving the severe case backlog within our criminal justice system. Victims and the accused alike deserve swift justice.

I’m pleased to introduce Wisconsin’s Safe Baby Food Act with Senator Rachael Cabral-Guevara, which protects our youngest citizens from consuming toxins through improved product transparency. With recent reports about toxic elements in baby formula and food products, Wisconsin should join other states in empowering consumers to make informed choices. See more below:

By addressing vital staffing needs in the justice system, the Justice for All Act will reduce case backlogs and deliver results for local taxpayers, crime victims, and the accused. I lay out the details below and encourage fellow lawmakers to support these additions.

Voluntary consolidation can offer school districts a financial solution to demographic realities. See my thoughts below on legislation enabling districts to secure long-term financial gains while increasing educational opportunities.

The Assembly passed AB 207 last week to create a nonpartisan method for clarifying referendum questions. Many voters find that these questions currently appear in obscure, literal, and confusing language. The bill requires a plain-language explanation of the proposal, written in a nonpartisan manner, to accompany referendum questions and help voters understand what they are voting on. I look forward to the legislation proceeding.

I'm thankful that a version of my Tax Free Retirement legislation was incorporated into our recently enacted state budget. Going forward, 3/4 of Wisconsin retirees will enjoy their golden years without paying a penny in state income taxes.
