I grew up in a working class family in rural Wisconsin and worked three jobs to put myself through college. Working families are struggling to keep up with the cost of housing, healthcare, child care, and groceries. Our economy should work for everyone:

I've spent 23 years in health care, including a decade caring for veterans at the VA, and I still work night shifts in the ER. I've watched patients ration medication they can't afford and families lose everything because they got sick. We have the ability to take care of people. But our politicians are unwilling to stand up to the insurance and drug companies that put profits ahead of patients.

Mitchell Berman was raised in a one-stoplight town in rural Wisconsin where neighbors looked out for one another and values like community, honesty, and integrity weren’t just taught – they were lived. His father built a small roofing business from the ground up and his mother worked long hours grinding pistons at the local foundry. Growing up, Mitchell spent his days hunting, fishing and going to church. His parents taught him to work hard, lend a hand, and root for the Packers.

A proud product of Wisconsin’s public schools, Mitchell was the first in his family to graduate from college – earning his degree while working three jobs, living paycheck to paycheck, and taking out student loans. He got his start mowing lawns at age 12 and earned his nursing assistant license by 17, determined to build a life through grit and perseverance – not privilege.

The War Powers Act was written by a Congressman from Milwaukee, Clement Zablocki, and I began my VA career at the hospital named after him. Congress needs to uphold its Constitutional duty to decide when we declare war instead of deferring to the executive branch. We should end the costly, reckless war in Iran and bring down the costs of war and high prices that Wisconsin families are shouldering.

As an ER nurse, I know that healthcare decisions belong to patients and the people who care for them. We need to protect reproductive freedom and a woman's right to reproductive health care.Politicians should not be getting in between a woman and her doctor. We also need to keep labor and delivery units open by funding rural maternity care and fixing the Medicaid reimbursement rates that push hospitals to close their OB wards.

I worked my way through school and was the first in my family to graduate from college, with a mountain of student loan debt. We need to fully fund our public schools, restore the value of Pell Grants, and invest in technical and vocational training. We need to protect the Department of Education from efforts to dismantle it.

For decades, working people paid into Medicare and Social Security with every paycheck. After a lifetime of hard work, seniors deserve to retire with dignity. I'll block cuts to Social Security, defend workers’ pensions, and lift the cap so high earners pay in on all of their income.

I spent over a decade caring for veterans at the VA. I'll fight to make sure our veterans get the health care, benefits, and respect they were promised. I've seen what happens when the VA is deprived of staff, and I'll push back on efforts to privatize the care our veterans earned. That means real investment in VA staffing, shorter waits, and enough mental health and specialty providers so that a veteran who needs help can get an appointment when they need it. I’ll fight to pass the Richard Star Act, without strings attached, so veterans forced into early retirement by combat injuries get the full retirement pay and disability they earned.

Climate change is real, and it is affecting our weather, farming, and ecosystems here in Wisconsin. We need to invest in clean energy, build a more resilient grid, protect Lake Michigan and our drinking water from contamination, clean up PFAS, and make the polluters pay for it. Any corporations looking to build data centers in our communities need to pay their own way, ensure that they are not polluting our land, air, or water, be clear and upfront about how much water they will use, and commit to transparency and community buy-in. That includes paying for the new power plants and transmission lines they need, being billed as their own class of customer so those costs don't land on household electric bills, and respecting community decisions on siting and permitting. Companies cannot come in promising jobs and investment and then leave taxpayers and ratepayers holding the bill. I’ll fight to protect our public lands from corporations seeking to drill, mine, or log our pristine wild spaces.

Understanding that farming isn’t just a job but a way of life, I’ll stand up for family farms by protecting crop insurance and programs that provide support for dairy farmers in bad years. Ensure the USDA helps small producers and not just large corporations, and keep farmland in the hands of people who actually farm it. Protect SNAP and the local food programs that feed rural families and support the farmers who grow that food. Expand rural broadband; keep rural hospitals and maternity wards open and staffed with the doctors, nurses, and EMS crews our rural communities depend on.
