Earlier this week, the budget-writing committee allocated funding for 42 additional Assistant District Attorney positions across Wisconsin. Brown County is expected 7 new ADAs. I'm excited for Brown County to receive this much-needed support to reduce their court backlog.

Yesterday, the Assembly recognized AJ Dillon for his positive impact on Northeast Wisconsin while playing for the Green Bay Packers. Best of luck in Philly!

Formalizing a decommissioning date into state law will ensure decisive action is taken to solve this longstanding issue and prevent the bureaucratic delays which have plagued this situation for far too long.

Proud to vote in committee to provide $1 million in additional funding for UW-Green Bay's Rising Phoenix program. Rising Phoenix is a dual enrollment program that gives high school students from Northeast Wisconsin a head start on their college education.

I find this incredibly disappointing. After months of hard work by the legislature, Governor Evers chose to line item veto the decommissioning date for GBCI. The Governor’s action halts our momentum and continues to put workers, inmates, and the general public at risk.

Proud to have secured $20 million for the Port of Green Bay alongside Senator Eric Wimberger! This expansion will be fully-funded by the state and will generate millions of dollars in economic growth for Brown County.

During the state budget process, I was proud to vote to restart Wisconsin's film tax credit and create a State Film Office. I'm hopeful this state investment will lead to more films being produced in Northeast Wisconsin.

Had a great afternoon visiting EAA. If you haven't been able to attend yet, I encourage you to check it out. Over 500,000 individuals and more than 10,000 aircrafts visit each July, making Wittman Regional Airport the busiest airport in the world!

Glad to have lead the effort in the Assembly to use one-time funds to fully-fund the expansion of the Port of Green Bay. Expanding our port will not only boost our local economy but make statewide impact. Thank you Senator Eric Wimberger for leading this motion through the State Senate.

Joined Representative Benjamin Franklin and others yesterday Lambeau Field for a briefing from the Green Bay Packers. Also got a chance to enjoy a training camp practice. Thank you, Packers for your investments in the stadium, surrounding area, your charity work, and all you do for Wisconsin. #GoPackGo
