First car: “My parents bought a Pontiac Tempest from Ernie von Schledorn the year I was born. I drove that car during high school and kept it well into my 20s.”
Favorite destination: “I love Puerto Vallarta and try to go several times each year.”
Hobby/passion: “I love photography and wish I spent more time pursuing it. In years past, I would walk 4 miles just to take the perfect photo.”
What would make Wisconsin better: “Wisconsin has so much going for it. I would love to change our election process to try to loosen the chokehold the two-party system has on our state and nation. I’ve been a public advocate for five-forward, rank choice voting.”
