When I think about why I'm running for Governor, it always comes back to people — the ones who get up every day and quietly take care of everyone around them.

Marty Schreiber is one of those people, and today I'm humbled to share that he's endorsing our campaign.

Most folks know Marty as Wisconsin's 39th governor. But what I admire most came after his time in office. For nearly twenty years, he cared for his wife Elaine as she lived with Alzheimer's — and instead of keeping that to himself, he turned it outward, writing and speaking to families across the country so they'd know they weren't alone.

I understand that journey more than I ever expected to. I helped care for my own father through Alzheimer's while I was working as a nurse and raising my kids. It teaches you something you don't forget: the measure of a community is how we look after one another when things get hard.

That's the Wisconsin I'm fighting for — one where good health care isn't a privilege, where working families aren't left on their own, and where the people who give so much of themselves are finally seen and supported.

Marty, thank you. I'm honored to earn your trust.

There's a Wisconsin where everyone belongs. I walked through it today in Walker's Point.

Looking out for your neighbors is the most Wisconsin value there is — and people at today's Milwaukee Pride parade lived it for decades before anyone cheered, showing up when it took courage, turning a fight into a festival.

As governor, I'll lead with those same values. No family wondering whether their government is on their side. No kid growing up believing they're up for debate. In Wisconsin, y’all means all.

Happy Pride, Wisconsin. What was your favorite moment today? 💙
