Featured Campaign

Candidate for WI, U.S. House, 5th District

I’m running for Congress because Washington is broken—and career politicians are a big reason why.

Too many people in power have lost touch with real life, spending years playing political games while working families struggle to get ahead. I’m not a politician. I’m a working-class Wisconsinite who believes government should serve people, not itself.

This campaign is about accountability and common sense. It’s powered by regular people who are tired of being ignored and ready for leadership grounded in lived experience, not political ambition. If you want less politics and more problem-solving, I’d be honored to earn your support.

The Democratic National Committee’s Local Listeners program is built around a simple idea: Democrats are stronger when they listen first. The program trains volunteers and organizers to have real, relationship-based conversations—especially in communities that often feel ignored—so local concerns, not assumptions, shape messaging and outreach. Instead of leading with talking points, Local Listeners creates a feedback loop that helps campaigns stay grounded in what voters actually care about.

Recent policy changes could allow private equity firms greater access to retirement accounts, raising concerns about higher fees, increased risk, and reduced transparency for everyday savers. Retirement funds are meant to provide long-term security — not expose workers to complex, high-risk investments they may not fully understand. This petition urges federal regulators and lawmakers to protect retirement accounts by limiting private equity involvement and ensuring strong safeguards for workers’ savings.

World leaders have made repeated climate commitments, but progress remains uneven as emissions continue to rise and deadlines slip. Without stronger follow-through, the gap between promises and action will keep growing. This petition calls on global leaders to meet their existing climate commitments, strengthen targets where needed, and take measurable steps to reduce emissions and protect vulnerable communities.
