YOU GUYS! 😭 😭 😭

Thank you to everyone who showed up for our Neighbors Feeding Neighbors project these past weeks. Spending time with our local food programs these past few weeks reminded me how hard they’re working right now. Their supply from the government is shrinking, demand is rising, and the cost of groceries, health care, and mortgages keeps climbing.

I am so grateful for this community. Neighbors across the area stepped up in such a big way — and because the need isn’t slowing down, neither are we.

Stay tuned. We’re not done yet. 🤝

While everyone was focused on ACA tax credits, Congress quietly passed a nationwide h**p ban that guts a $20B industry and hits Wisconsin’s farmers, breweries, and small businesses hardest.

If it hurts our communities and helps big alcohol and big oil? I’m going to call it out every time.

Running back in 2024 - and again in 2026! - was never really about winning an election for me. It’s always been about connecting with neighbors to identify problems we can (and should!) solve, and working together to get to the root of it all.

And as our communities get hit in the face with the effects of policies choices made in Washington and Madison, you bet I’m going to show up to help and demand action to alleviate the pain.

I was happy to have had the opportunity to join up with Dr. Kristin Lyerly last week on the WFRV NewsMakers program to give our perspective on what’s going on in northeastern Wisconsin.

We show up.
We ask questions.
We HELP.
And we work to make change, together.

If you’re new here, meet our Raji.

Four years ago this week, we met our youngest in Durgapur, India.
He was three and a half, full of curiosity and spark,
and from the very first moment, we were smitten. 💛

Adoption has changed me in ways I never expected.
It’s taught me that family isn’t defined by blood or paperwork.

It’s built through patience, laughter, and showing up every single day.

It’s taught me empathy; the kind that deepens
when you love someone whose world began so differently than yours.

And it’s reminded me how random and beautiful life can be; how a little boy born halfway around the world
can become an integral part of our family here in northeastern Wisconsin.

Four years later, we’re still learning, still growing,
and still so incredibly lucky to be his. ❤️

Had a great time helping out with some friends yesterday at the Oshkosh Area Community Pantry for their first Saturday service! This program serves about 200 families every day and draws from approximately a seven-county radius.

They are, like every other program I’ve visited, seeing an increased need for their food resources and decreased supply from the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), which provides USDA Foods and administrative funds, and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) which offers food assistance specifically to seniors.

Huge thanks to Rep. Palmeri and State Senator Kristin Dassler-Alfheim for organizing this effort and to the program for the work they do!

Update 11/8/25:

Over 5000 lbs of food donated to pantries in Appleton ( ), Manawa, Waupaca, Omro, New London, and Hortonville/Dale (Greenville has limited hours, but we are organizing a drop there)!

Over $2000 donated to those pantries (+ Shiocton/Black Creek)!

YOU ARE FEEDING YOUR NEIGHBORS. ♥️
Thank you endlessly for doing this with me.

I’ve been talking with volunteers, clients, and program directors and a couple of things are clear — things are getting worse (more guests, less help from the government for the programs themselves), and food insecurity is a pervasive issue and the solutions are complicated.

But that doesn’t mean we don’t work like hell to solve it. For now, we’re going to keep meeting the urgent need (our neighbors being hungry) and push for policy that helps to treat the root (housing, healthcare, livable wages).

Stay tuned for how you can help. Appreciate y’all 🇺🇸
