Storms in the District

Severe weather conditions including flooding, storms and tornadoes have swept across Southern Wisconsin causing damage to a number of communities in the 6th district. Several tornadoes hit Fond du Lac county, along with other counties in the district such as Marquette, Green Lake and Sheboygan.

These storms have caused significant damage and have posed a challenge to a large portion of residents in the district and throughout many areas of the state. In order to address the burdensome impact of the storms and provide relief to Wisconsinites, I along with Senator Baldwin and Representative Kind have sent a letter to the President urging him to approve federal assistance for the affected communities.

Many people throughout Wisconsin are suffering because of these severe weather conditions. I will continue to stand by the communities that have been impacted and offer my full support.

Great news for Lakeshore Tech

Last month, I had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Paul Carlsen, President of Lakeshore Technical School, in Washington D.C. to testify before the Education and Workforce Committee as part of the Innovation Forum and Showcase.

This week, Washington Monthly released their 2018 College Guide and Rankings and ranked Lakeshore Technical College 3rd out of two year schools for adult learners in the country, up from 11th the previous year. This is an incredible accomplishment for Lakeshore Tech and I am very proud to have such an innovative and renowned institution in the 6th district.

Lakeshore Tech is a great example of a school that promotes Career and Technical Education and creates pathways for adults to employment. I look forward to continuing to hear about the positive impact institutions such as Lakeshore Tech have.
