Sara’s roots in Wisconsin run deep, starting with her grandparents who worked tirelessly on a dairy farm in Richland County.
Growing up in a working-class family ourselves, my husband and I always instilled in Sara and her siblings the values of hard work, perseverance, and community.
I was a teaching assistant for kids with special needs and a proud member of the WEAC union. Sara’s father, a Navy veteran who served during Vietnam, came home to fix telephones at Wisconsin Bell. Together, we raised our kids in Brookfield where we had a deep appreciation for bettering our community and each other.
These are the same values that she carries with her every day in her fight for our state.
