Protecting our environment is essential to the health, safety, and future of every community in Wisconsin’s 3rd District. Climate change is already affecting our region; bringing heavier rains, more flooding, and worsening air quality. As your member of Congress, I will fight for clean air, safe water, healthy land, and a sustainable future for all.
My legislative priorities include:
- Restoring the full intent of the Clean Water Act of 1972 so every river, lake, and stream receives the protections it deserves.
- Supporting farmers with incentives for conservation practices such as managed grazing, cover cropping, low- or no-till farming, and nutrient management plans.
- Advancing a clean, diversified energy economy by expanding renewable energy, improving efficiency, and modernizing infrastructure to reduce emissions.
- Protecting clean air by strengthening air-quality standards and reducing pollution that harms rural and urban communities alike.
- Helping local communities test and treat their ground and well water, and taking aggressive action on PFAS, nitrate contamination, and other threats to public health.
Protecting Our Public Lands
Our public lands are central to Wisconsin’s identity; places where we hike, hunt, fish, and connect with nature. They support local economies, protect wildlife, and provide clean water. These shared spaces must be protected for everyone, not sold off for short-term profit.
Attempts to weaken protections like the Roadless Rule and open public land to large-scale development threaten these irreplaceable places. I will fight to keep public lands public; preserving access, defending conservation laws, and ensuring these areas remain healthy and open for future generations.
