June is Dairy Month, a time to celebrate Wisconsin’s hardworking dairy farmers, farm families, and agricultural workers who help make our state the Dairyland.

From family farms to local processors, Wisconsin’s dairy industry drives our economy, supports rural communities, and produces world-class milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products enjoyed across the globe.

Thank you to everyone who works every day to keep this proud Wisconsin tradition strong. Happy Dairy Month!

It was an honor to join the McFarland community for the Annual Pride Flag Raising Ceremony!

Our communities are strongest when everyone feels welcome, valued, and respected. Pride Month is a time to celebrate our neighbors, reflect on the progress we've made, and recommit ourselves to building a Wisconsin where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, McFarland! 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

I was honored to speak at the Customers First Coalition Conference and join my colleague State Representative Supreme Moore Omokunde, local advocates, industry leaders, and community partners committed to putting Wisconsin consumers first.

Strong consumer protections, affordable services, and transparent policies are essential to building trust and ensuring families and businesses can thrive. I appreciated the opportunity to discuss the challenges facing our communities and the collaborative solutions needed to address them.

Thank you to the Customers First Coalition for hosting this important conversation and for your continued work on behalf of Wisconsin consumers.

Thank you to the Dane County Medical Society for hosting last week's town hall discussion. It was a pleasure joining Senator Hesselbein and local physicians, healthcare professionals, and community members for a thoughtful conversation about the challenges and opportunities facing healthcare in Wisconsin.

From improving access to care and addressing workforce shortages to supporting public health initiatives, these conversations are critical to building a healthier future for our communities. I appreciate everyone who shared their perspectives and experiences.

Thank you for your commitment to caring for our neighbors and helping inform the policy decisions that impact healthcare across our state.

This week is Vision Rehabilitation Week, a time to recognize the importance of services that help individuals with vision loss maintain their independence, confidence, and quality of life.

Vision rehabilitation professionals provide essential training, resources, and support that empower people to continue living, working, and participating fully in their communities. Their work makes a meaningful difference in the lives of countless Wisconsinites and their families.

Thank you to the dedicated professionals, caregivers, and advocates who help ensure that vision loss does not limit opportunity. Together, we can continue building communities that are accessible and inclusive for everyone.

It was great to stop by Granite Ridge and deliver a group photo from their recent visit to the Wisconsin State Capitol!

Visits to the Capitol provide a great opportunity to see state government in action, ask questions, and share perspectives on issues that matter to our communities.

Thank you to everyone at Granite Ridge for making the trip to Madison. I always appreciate the chance to stay connected and continue the conversation beyond the Capitol.

I look forward to seeing you again soon!

I love the opportunity to meet incredible students in our communities.

Representative Fitzgerald and I first met Esteban, a senior at Lake ills High School, when he was selected to lead the Pledge of Allegiance at the State of Education Address. Since then, we’ve had the chance to connect a few more times during school visits in Lake Mills, and this past weekend, we were honored to celebrate his graduation.

It’s these connections with constituents of all ages that make public service so meaningful.

Congratulations to Esteban and to all of our local graduates! Your hard work, perseverance, and achievements deserve to be celebrated. We can’t wait to see what comes next for each of you. 🎓

FUN FACT FRIDAY!!!

Did you know Fitchburg is one of the few Wisconsin cities without its own school district?

Students attend neighboring districts, including Oregon, Madison Metropolitan, and Verona Area.

This arrangement reflects Fitchburg’s growth and location, connecting families to multiple school communities. No matter the district, Fitchburg students are learning, growing, and contributing to our region’s future.

I delivered postcards of the photo taken at the Capitol of the students at Prairie View Elementary School group visit. Have you or your family attended school in Fitchburg or another Wisconsin district? We’d love to hear about your experiences in the comments!
