When we experience heartbreaks and trials in life, one of the best things we can do is use those setbacks to bless and build up others. One of the most profound privileges I have had as a legislator is to have worked to get 2023 Act 72 signed into law. This legislation established a statewide grant program to fund recovery high schools. Additionally, I was successful in having a budget motion passed in our most recent biennial budget (2025 Act 15) that increased this grant funding by 50%. No Wisconsin family should have to endure the trauma our family and so many others have experienced due to juvenile substance use disorder.

Continuing with highlighting all that has been accomplished by my office since you first sent me to Madison, it was my great privilege to increase the safety and wellbeing of sexual assault victims in Wisconsin by introducing "Kayleigh's Law." This bill, with the support of only two Democrat co-sponsors, became law as 2021 Act 256, giving victims the opportunity to request a lifetime restraining order against their assailants at the time of conviction.

Yesterday, one of the valued constituents whom I have previously met with on the topic, brought up cannabis as a financial windfall for Wisconsin. My position on this issue has not changed. The very first item PolitiFact rated me on as a legislator in my first term was a statement I made on marijuana. They rated my comment 100% True. My position has not wavered on this topic: I have always stated that I have concerns about the unfettered legalization of marijuana, brought up the risks, expressed my frustration with the federal government's negligence in appropriately studying this psychoactive substance, and told constituents that it WILL be legalized at some point in time, but it will do so without my vote. Last week, a new study was published by the @American_Heart Association that exposes additional risks to even casual use of cannabis. Wisconsinites will have more of this to contend with as the newly elected majority legalizes the substance. https://t.co/UUm0tfGUYn

Yesterday afternoon, I attended the fall Wisconsin Office of School Safety Advisory Board meeting where we received updates on the Speak Up, Speak Out program as well as gave feedback on new training videos across the age groups. I want to applaud OSS Director, Trish Kilpin, on the excellent work she and her team have continued to do. Their work has been non-partisan, trained stakeholders at every level, and they have done an excellent job on keeping Wisconsin schools of all types safe. To see the work that they are doing, visit https://t.co/GqRtpggGaI.

Since first being elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2018, I have worked tirelessly for the constituents I serve. In addition to being out in the communities, businesses, and schools in the district, I have worked very hard on legislation that makes life better for every Wisconsinite. Over the next week or two, we will highlight all that has been accomplished by my office since you first sent me to Madison. I LOVE telling students, especially those in our intermediate schools, that the very first bill I had signed into law was for THEM. Their eyes get big when I tell them that 2019 Act 171 expanded the number of career opportunities they can take for a "test drive" through Wisconsin's youth apprenticeship program. Inspiring our next generation and awakening them to the great possibilities available to them after high school helps to motivate our students and give them a sense of purpose.

David Crowley told UpFront this weekend, "I'm not worried..." about the data put forth on how much it will cost YOU when he and his majority Democrat legislature repeal Act 10 in 2027. I DO care. That is why I am posting this calculator created by the @WILawLiberty. Start saving NOW because that is what it will take to be able to keep living in Wisconsin. https://t.co/ggQ26HRALW

Did you catch the 99th Assembly District's hometown heroine during yesterday's Fox Sports NFL Sunday tribute to Veterans Day?

Please join me in lifting a prayer for all of our incredible service members and veterans this week. #VeteransDay

It's that festive time of year again! Students from around the state are asked to help decorate our Capitol Christmas Tree. The theme for this year's tree is the "Year of the Neighbor." 𝗢𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬 𝘁𝗼: Emily Gorman Wisconsin Department of Administration Division of Facilities and Transportation Services 17 West Main Street, Suite 119 Madison, WI 53703 It is recommended that students make ornaments from non-breakable, fragile material that do not tear easily, that are 4-6 inches in size, and are made from a color that contrasts with the color of the tree so they can easily be seen and enjoyed by all visitors. Students are also asked to please attach a ten-inch loop of ribbon or string from which each ornament will be hung. Ornaments will not be returned. Be sure to come visit our beautiful State Capitol during the holiday season to enjoy the beautiful job our students do decorating the tree!
