Happy Veterans Day and thank you to all the brave men and women who have served our country. Our freedom comes from your sacrifice and we are forever grateful.
My office remains open today, so if you or a veteran you know is having difficulty with a federal agency, please call. We are ready to help.
On Thursday, I joined @ShebCoEDC's annual award ceremony. Sheboygan County, my home county, is an economic driver for the Sixth District and the state and I am proud to represent an area with such great manufacturers, businesses, and entrepreneurs.
Congratulations to:
@3SheepsBrewing for earning Small Business of the Year.
Iron Supports for earning Entrepreneur of the Year.
@sartoricheese for earning Economic Driver of the Year.
A four-year college degree is not the only path to a successful career.
We need to expand opportunities for Americans to learn skilled trades, earn industry-recognized credentials, and get the training they need to succeed in good-paying jobs.
As a member of the Education and Workforce Committee, I’m working to make sure our education and workforce policies actually prepare Americans for the jobs our economy needs.
I enjoyed stopping by Mt. Calvary's Fire Prevention Family Fun Night and meeting with some of our local firefighters. Thank you to these dedicated first responders for the countless hours they put into protecting our communities and keeping Wisconsin families safe. Our firefighters are always ready to answer the call, and we're lucky to have them looking out for our communities.
It was great to stop by St. Stephen's Lutheran Church in Rosendale and spend time with members of the community. Thank you to everyone who came out, shared a conversation, and helped bring the Rosendale community together.
Medicaid should prioritize the Americans it was created to serve: low-income children, pregnant mothers, seniors, people with disabilities, and other vulnerable Americans.
That means restoring accountability and eliminating incentives that push more federal dollars toward able-bodied adults without children, who were never the program's original focus. Government should be giving them a hand-up, not a hand-out.
We can protect Medicaid for those who truly need it while being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.
It was great to stop by St. Paul Episcopal Church in Plymouth for its potato pancake breakfast fundraiser and talk with members of the community. Thank you to everyone who took time to say hello and to the volunteers who helped make the breakfast a success!
Last week, I attended the Mequon-Thiensville Chamber of Commerce's Celebrate Our Community Award Dinner and presented Congressional commendations to this year's winners.
Congratulations to this year's honorees for their contributions to the community. Strong local businesses and dedicated community leaders are essential to keeping Wisconsin's communities thriving. Thank you to the Chamber for recognizing the people who make southeastern Wisconsin a great place to live and work.
It was a pleasure to attend the Ozaukee County Jail Literacy Program Fundraiser and connect with community members supporting this important cause. Thank you to everyone working to expand literacy and provide educational opportunities that can make a lasting difference in people's lives and our Wisconsin communities.
Medicaid was created to serve our most vulnerable Americans.
Republicans are strengthening Medicaid by cracking down on waste, fraud, and abuse, limiting distorted financing schemes, and ensuring taxpayer dollars are being used responsibly.
We need to protect Medicaid for the Americans who truly need it and make sure hardworking taxpayers are not footing the bill for a broken system.
Americans who work hard and put in extra hours should be able to keep more of what they earn.
No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. A larger Child Tax Credit. An average $1,700 tax savings for American families.
These are real tax cuts that will make a difference for working families across Wisconsin.
It was great to meet with the team at Horicon Bank in Waupun to celebrate 130 years of operation! For generations, Horicon Bank has supported local families, small businesses, and the Waupun community. Congratulations to the entire team on this milestone!
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Fond du Lac County Veterans and Community Resources Expo and stopped by my booth to say hello! It was great to connect with local veterans, service members, and their families.
If you are a veteran who needs help working with the VA or another federal agency, please contact my Fond du Lac office at (920) 907-0624. My staff and I are always ready to assist veterans, help you navigate the process, and work to get answers about your case.
It was great to join the Central Wisconsin Community Action Council in celebrating 60 years of service. Since 1966, CWCAC has helped individuals and families across central Wisconsin access resources for housing, food, energy assistance, and financial stability. Congratulations to the entire team on this milestone and thank you for six decades of work helping Wisconsin communities thrive.
Border security doesn't stop at the federal level. States and local communities are often on the front lines of illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
The Working Families Tax Cuts Act provides $10 billion for the State Border Security Reinforcement Fund and $450 million for Operation Stonegarden to strengthen cooperation between federal, state, local, and Tribal law enforcement.
This is about giving communities the tools they need to keep their residents safe
Congratulations to Sallie Tomato, in Fox Lake on its 10th anniversary and grand reopening! What started as a small business idea in a UW-Whitewater dorm has grown into a successful company serving customers around the world. Sallie Tomato is a great example of the entrepreneurial spirit, hard work, and innovation that make small businesses so important to Wisconsin's Economy.
Raising a family is expensive, and parents deserve some relief.
The Child Tax Credit is increasing to $2,500 per child, while the average family of four will receive an additional $600 in tax cuts next year.
Washington should be making it easier, not harder, for families to raise their children and get ahead.
I enjoyed visiting Lakeshore College in Cleveland, WI to see how they prepare students for careers in public safety. From training future police officers to teaching EMT students lifesaving skills, Lakeshore is helping prepare the next generation of first responders who will serve communities across Wisconsin. Thank you to the students and instructors for showing me the important work happening on campus.
Don’t miss your chance to take part in this year’s Congressional App Challenge!

It was great to meet with sheriffs from across the district to hear firsthand how they are working to keep our communities safe. Thank you to these law enforcement leaders for their service and continued commitment to protecting Wisconsin families.
