I proudly stood with Gov. Walker as we fought to bring much-
needed change. Together, we have passed bold, conservative Day Lunch
reforms into law.
While I’ve been in the Legislature, we’ve made Wisconsin an
attractive state for business and given hope to thousands. We’ve
fought special interests and implemented real-life conservative
policies that have produced proven benefits to our economy.
It wasn’t always easy. But we rolled up our sleeves, we followed
through, and we made a difference.
