Education

Kelly believes that Wisconsin students have the right to a quality education, regardless of district or parental income. We need to make sure our public schools and universities are funded and staffed, not cut and politicized. This is one of the reasons WEAC endorsed her as they work together to ensure public schools are funded, teachers are respected, and Wisconsin children receive the education they deserve.

Reproduction

Since the fall of Roe v Wade, 15 states have enacted near total abortion bans and 3 have enacted 6 week limits. These bans and arbitrary limits put women's lives in danger. Kelly is honored to have the endorsement of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin (PPAWI) because they know she will take womens' voices to Madison!

Workers

Kelly has been endorsed by Wisconsin State AFL-CIO because they recognize her intention to dedicate herself unwaveringly to fighting for worker's rights, fair wages, and a Wisconsin in which every worker is valued, protected, and empowered!

​

​Farmer's are to be c are a cause that Kelly especially recognizes as impacting her district. She saw first-hand the struggles behind-the-scenes faced by family farmers in her journalism experiences -such as the need to make sure farmers are not held liable for containments they did not produce- and has committed herself to bringing these issues and voices to Madison!

Environment

The Sierra Club has endorsed Kelly because of her commitment to addressing environmental issues in Madison! She is determined to work towards providing clean water, soil, and energy through supporting the DNR's efforts by setting limits and testing for PFAS in our soil and waterways. From making parks more accessible to protecting wildlife and endangered species, Kelly will tirelessly uplift environmental initiatives! Her demonstrated dedication to protecting the environment is shown through her plans to support legislation that re-instates stronger environmental protections, cuts down on Wisconsin's fossil fuel reliance, and prioritizes low-emission transportation projects through the establishment of Regional Transit Authorities.

People

From children to parents, Kelly will bring the voices of all to Madison! Kelly will help put an end to District 2's "childcare desert" that has led to numerous counties seeing less than 7 childcare slots for thousands of children. By addressing this issue, Kelly will ensure that thousands more Wisconsin children do not lose care this year and their parents do not have to exit the workforce.

​

​Kelly knows how difficult it is for military families to receive the healthcare they were promised upon enlisting, therefore, as the wife of a 20-year Air Force Veteran, Kelly will elevate veterans' voices!

​

This commitment to people has earned her numerous endorsements, such as being named one of Wisconsin's Gun Sense Voter candidates, and she will take this care for her community to Madison as your next State Senate District 2 Representative!
