This is one of the closest Congressional districts in the country—it's time we flip it in 2026. I'm a mom, mental health counselor, small business owner, and City Council President of the largest city in this district—and I'm stepping up because the people of Western and Central Wisconsin deserve better than extremism and inaction. This campaign is powered by all of us. Please chip in whatever you can to help us flip this seat and win back the House in 2026!

I've made 175+ campaign stops and counting since announcing my congressional campaign last year. I've driven tens of thousands of miles to meet voters in every corner of Wisconsin's 3rd CD. While our current representative refuses to hold a public town hall in this district, I'm listening to voters every week to learn what they need from our government. No matter where I go, people are fired up and ready for a change. Across the district, here's what I'm hearing: Washington needs to put the int

This is one of the closest Congressional districts in the country—it's time we flip it in 2026. My journey doesn’t look like the typical politician’s. I helped flood victims in North Dakota and fixed homes in Appalachia as a teenager, then volunteered for AmeriCorps after college and went to grad school for mental health counseling. I became a mother, started my own practice working with kids and families, and enjoyed my spare time running and volunteering in my community. After Donald Trump’s

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
