I proudly served as the first clerk in Wisconsin to issue same-sex marriage licenses, championing this cause following the landmark Wolf v. Walker ruling that overturned the state's ban. My leadership extended beyond marriage equality, encompassing oversight of recounts in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. In the face of challenges, I navigated threats to election workers and clashed with state Republicans over voting access during the COVID pandemic, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to democracy and justice.
