As autumn’s golden leaves fall and the brisk November wind reminds us that Thanksgiving is near, I find myself reflecting on what this cherished holiday truly means—especially for those of us fortunate enough to call Monroe County, Wisconsin, our home.

We look forward to seeing you at this wonderful event in support of local youth shooting sports.
Let me tell you a bit about where I’m from.
Where I’m from, folks aren’t taking European vacations and driving around in fancy cars.
Where I’m from, you won’t see billionaires or Hollywood celebrities on the street.
Where I’m from, people work with their hands and rely on each other for help.
Where I’m from, folks are still guided by conservative American values.
I’m proud to share President Trump’s Truth Social post endorsing me! His post sums up my mission so well.
I bring the same work ethic and commitment to excellence to Congress that I did to my 26 years of service as a Navy SEAL.
I’ve fought the bureaucracy in DC to defend the farmers who feed our nation and the veterans and active-duty military personnel who defend and protect our country.
I have always put the safety and security of American citizens above all else.
And, as President Trump said, I will NEVER let you or our movement down!
I am running to be your Attorney General because after over 12 years of fighting crime in Fond du Lac, I am fed up with Josh Kaul's gross negligence when it comes to addressing the rising crime in Wisconsin.
Unlike Josh Kaul, I have a proven record of success.
In 2024 I was honored to be named District Attorney of the Year by my peers. My record is clear, when you hold criminals accountable and give law enforcement the support they need, we CAN restore law and order to our cities.
The miles are adding up and we have only just started. After launching my campaign in September, I have driven over 8,000 miles, breaking my car and having to purchase a new vehicle. I've visited over 1/3rd of Wisconsin's counties and continue to add new ones weekly. When I am not on the road, I am doing radio, podcasts, and TV to spread my message of a better way forward.
After more than 40 days of chaos caused by the Democrats’ unnecessary, harmful, and utterly foolish shutdown, the federal government is finally reopening.
From day one, House Republicans did our job. We passed clean, responsible funding bills to keep the government open. We voted 15 times to fund the government and keep vital programs running. Fifteen times.
In-person early voting has grown quickly in recent years. Last October, a record 100,000 Wisconsinites voted two weeks before Election Day. While this participation is encouraging, many smaller communities can’t keep up. Assembly Bill 312 sets minimum standards for in-person voting access without an appointment, ensuring more voters can cast a ballot without having to schedule time with their clerk. Expanding no-appointment voting - while preserving election security safeguards - helps close the gap between urban and rural access.
Today, the House took a necessary step toward full accountability. I voted to release the Epstein files because the American people deserve the truth. From day one, I’ve been clear: anyone who abuses a child should face the ultimate punishment. I have pushed from the very beginning for these files to be made public.
House Republicans have led this investigation at every turn. We have released more than 60,000 pages of documents, made the Barr deposition public, and issued subpoenas to the Justice Department, Bill and Hillary Clinton, the Epstein Estate, and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Wisconsin Becomes First State to Advance Real Safeguards Against Foreign-Linked Online Donations - and no we did not break Capitol rules by taking this picture from the Assembly Gallery - as legislators took the photo and sent it to us after the vote.
On Wednesday, the Wisconsin Assembly took a historic step, passing AB 385 by a 55–42 vote, making Wisconsin the first legislative body in the nation to advance model legislation that can actually stop foreign-sourced political contributions disguised within billions of dollars of unverified credit-card and gift-card transactions.
