Keeping Our

Neighborhoods Safe

My Record

As a former law enforcement officer, I have dedicated my adult life to keeping our neighborhoods safe. That dedication continues in the state senate.

I was one of the first and loudest voices calling for Governor Evers to send more National Guard troops to Kenosha during the riots. I’m not going to let Democrats rewrite the history of Governor Evers failure in Kenosha. I also authored a bill to define a criminalize rioting and co-authored a bill increasing penalties for damaging historical property. Unfortunately, Governor Evers vetoed both bills.

I am fighting to expand the evaluation of criminals when granting bail. Under current law, a judge must set bail at the lowest level necessary to ensure a defendant return to trial. That low bar doesn’t adequately protect the victim, or prevent the creation of new victims while the criminal is out on bail. We need to expand bail criteria to include factors like severity of the crime and criminal history. Judges need the full picture when deciding bail amount, not just a single data point.
