So for voters
who don't know
who you are that well
tell us who you are
and why you're running
for governor.
I'm actually a nurse
by background
and I've worked in
so many different roles
within health care
whether it's
night shifts in the ER
all the way
to being an executive
within our health care system.
One of my roles
as lieutenant governor is that
I get to go to all
72 counties
and I have done
that every single year
that I have been
lieutenant governor.
And when I talk
to people there
they are telling me
the same thing
that they are doing
everything right
but they're feeling squeezed.
And whether that's
accessible, affordable
health care
cost of housing
cost of child care
we keep raising our taxes
to pay
for our public schools.
I mean, these are
the things that people
are talking to me about
and these are the things
that I would like
to be able to
address as governor.
Is there a single issue
that drives you
as a candidate
or perhaps a lane
within the Democratic Party
that may define you?
I think that
I have so much experience
within health care
which is a complicated space
and we've seen
what's happening
now in Washington
where they're taking away
the subsidies
for the Affordable Care Act.
So people
who are going
to get their insurance
on the exchange
these are
small business owners.
These are farmers.
These are people
who are trying
to make a living
and their premiums
are going to double
maybe even
triple in Wisconsin.
And so having somebody
who has that
expertise in health care
to be able to do that
here in Wisconsin
and actually make
a demonstrable difference
in people's lives
is something that
I'm really excited about.
