About Emily

A parent of three, she is challenging Republican incumbent Rachael Cabral-Guevara in State Senate District 19, which includes part of Outagamie County.

Backs affordable health care, mental-health access, and investing in rural emergency services.
Says the minimum wage “is not a livable wage,” leaving families reliant on SNAP.
