Safeguarding Wisconsin’s Election System

Funding Lead Reduction Programs
This month, my amendment to increase funding for federal lead reduction programs passed the US House of Representatives. Smart legislation like this can help ensure lead poisoning is preventable, not inevitable. We must continue to fight for these programs, especially in high-risk communities like those impacted in Milwaukee.

Protecting the Supreme Court
This month, the Trump administration threatened to reverse decades of progress by nominating Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh’s confirmation threatens to create the most conservative court since Jim Crow, putting women’s, workers’, and minority civil rights on the line. We must protect the Supreme Court, so that it can protect us.

GOP Health Care Sabotage
In July, Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi joined Citizen Action Wisconsin in our great city to oppose the ruthless Republican attacks on Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA.

Small, minority-owned, and women-run investment adviser firms should be subject to regulations commensurate with their scale, so they have the resources they need to support local economic growth.
