John,

Because of you, we closed out our very first end-of-quarter deadline with strength, energy, and the people-power it takes to win. Every donation, every share, every word of encouragement fueled this campaign — and I can't thank you enough. Together, we're building something real, and I'm so proud of this team.

But as our campaign pushes forward, Washington has ground to a halt. The government shutdown is here — and Wisconsin families will pay the price for Republicans' partisan games. When Republicans fail to govern, it means real consequences: delayed paychecks for workers, stalled services for families, and a broken trust in the leaders who are supposed to have our backs.

It also means health care costs will keep climbing. Instead of working to bring relief, Republicans blocked efforts to protect affordable care — and now Wisconsin insurers are proposing rate hikes between 6.6% and a staggering 34.5% for next year. That's unacceptable.

We need leaders who will lead, not play games. Leaders who fight for affordable health care, invest in our schools, support our workforce, and deliver results for families across Wisconsin.

That's exactly why I'm running for Lieutenant Governor — because I believe we can do better.

More soon,

Sarah
