Dani Erickson - Somerset School Board

While this is a major victory for women and girls, it is now up to the state of Wisconsin to decide whether it will protect biological females. Regardless of what our current elected officials decide, I will always stand up to protect females under federal Title IX.

The Supreme Court is upholding state laws barring transgender girls and women from playing on school athletic teams, in another setback for transgender people.

Very interesting! We had a discussion on this yesterday in Policy Committee.

The resolution followed pressure from parents who said their children developed unhealthy habits after schools required them to use iPads and laptops every day.

Nice work to my friends on the Waukesha School Board! Debt free AND a high academic rating!

The Waukesha School District is now ranked #1 in academic performance among the 10 largest school districts in WI, as well as now completely debt free due to exceptional fiscal management. If you value the marriage of these two incredible accomplishments, please vote Bette Koenig and Chase Allen for the Waukesha School Board on April 7th!

Schools can’t afford Act 10 overturning.

15 years ago today, Governor Walker signed Act 10 into law—a policy that has saved Wisconsin taxpayers nearly $40 billion since being enacted.

But now, Democrat politicians and the teachers unions are fighting to overturn Act 10, a decision that would be disastrous for taxpayers and upend years of fiscal responsibility and educational growth in Waukesha.

The average property owner in the City of Waukesha would see their property taxes go up an additional $1,152 if Act 10 were repealed. In the Village, the average homeowner could see their tax bill increase by up to $1,765.

Before you vote on April 7th, it might be worth asking the Blue Sky and union-backed candidates for School Board:

1.) If they support ending Act 10
2.) What would they do to protect taxpayers if it were to be repealed

Recent discussions about biological males using female restrooms in a nearby school district have raised questions about when common sense was lost. It’s based on case law. Read more below.

Good job to my friends at Waukesha School District! Somerset School District worked hard to implement Act 20 ahead of schedule as well.

Average student achievement in Wisconsin remains months behind in math, and a half-grade behind in reading compared to learning levels in 2019.

Property tax bills are hitting mailboxes—and thanks to Governor Evers’ 400-year veto, many families are feeling serious sticker shock.

With one stroke of his pen, the Governor turned a temporary, two-year provision into a 400-year property tax increase—never debated, never voted on, and never approved by taxpayers.

Under the Evers-Rodriguez administration, Wisconsin already has some of the highest property tax rates in the country. This is only Year 1 of the 400-year Democrat Property Tax Increase. Imagine how bad it will be in Year 399.

While the liberals on the Supreme Court upheld the Governor’s 400-year veto, I’m introducing a constitutional amendment to ensure that it can’t happen again.
