“I would like to extend gratitude to my supporters, friends, and family around the state who voted for me in today’s election. I am humbled by their faith in my ability to work as an advocate for every student in our state, and correct the extensive vulnerabilities of Wisconsin’s education bureaucracy in the general election.
