The Secretary of State serves on the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, which manages over $1.3 billion in trust funds and 77,000 acres of land. Those funds support public schools and libraries across the state. JoCasta sees this responsibility not as a footnote, but as a real opportunity to invest in Wisconsin’s future. She’ll ensure these resources are protected, expanded, and directed to where they’re needed most.

JoCasta has seen up close what happens when government underfunds our schools: constant referenda, underpaid teachers, and families forced to fill in the gaps. She’s fighting for a Wisconsin where public education is fully funded by the state—not pieced together through emergency votes and bake sales. Our kids deserve better, and our communities do too.
