Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

From rural communities to big cities, rising health care costs, limited treatment options and opioid overdoses are a growing concern. As the medical examiner for St. Croix County, I've seen the health care challenges firsthand. I'm proud of my record working with local officials and frontline responders to combat the abuse of prescription painkillers, expand access to care and make our community a safer place to live, work and raise a family.

In the Senate, I am committed to expanding BadgerCare, improving access to mental health care and reducing costs for state taxpayers. I'm not afraid to take on the special interests and hold drug manufacturers accountable for their role in the opioid crisis. My unique experience in this area and ability to work across the aisle can help break through the partisan gridlock and deliver results for Wisconsin residents.
