This week, I toured Brakebush Brothers, Inc. in Westfield, a family-owned company who has been processing chicken for over 100 years. I saw firsthand how this long-standing Wisconsin manufacturer continues to support jobs and economic growth in our district. Facilities like this are a key part of what keeps our local communities strong.

Brakebush employs about 1,000 people at its Westfield plant, providing stable jobs that allow families in central Wisconsin to build a future close to home.

During my visit, I met with workers and leadership to discuss the challenges facing manufacturers and food producers, including workforce needs, supply chain pressures, and federal regulations. Hearing directly from employers and employees helps ensure that the policies we consider in Washington reflect the realities facing Wisconsin families and job creators.

Manufacturing and food production play a major role in our district’s economy, and it’s important that we continue supporting an environment where businesses can grow, workers can succeed, and communities can thrive. I appreciate the team at Brakebush for taking the time to share their perspective and for the work they do every day to keep Wisconsin working.

As we prepare to celebrate Easter tomorrow, Christians across Wisconsin and throughout the worldwill gather with family and friends to reflect on the true meaning of this holy day. Easter is a cornerstone of the Christian faith, reminding us of the hope, renewal, and promise that comes from perseverance and trust in God. It is a time to pause from our busy lives, give thanks for our many blessings, and remember the importance of faith, family, and community.

For many families, Easter Sunday is filled with cherished traditions - attending church services, sharing meals, and spending time with loved ones.

As we look ahead to this special day, I encourage everyone to take time to reflect on the message of Easter and the hope it brings to people around the world. May you have a joyous and safe Easter Sunday.

“He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.” — Matthew 28:6

Yesterday, we observed Good Friday and reflected on the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for us. It was a solemn reminder of the power of faith, humility, and gratitude. I hope you were able to spend time in reflection and prayer as we prepare to celebrate Easter.

Sunday is Gold Star Spouses Day. We will honor the husbands and wives who carried the weight of sacrifice long after their loved ones gave their lives for our country.

Their strength, resilience, and devotion to family and nation inspire us all. We will never forget the heroes we lost, or the families who continue to serve in their memory.

Hard work should pay off. That’s why House Republicans delivered No Tax on Tips, so waitresses, barbers, delivery drivers, and so many others can keep more of what they earn.

This commonsense policy supports working families and puts more money back  in the pockets of the American people.

I recently had the opportunity to speak with an AP US History class at Westfield High School. I gave an overview of my work in Congress and answered questions from the students about how government works and what it’s like representing Wisconsin families.

The students were engaged and curious, and it was a pleasure to share a behind-the-scenes look at public service. Thanks to the class for the warm welcome!

This week, I stopped by Virch’s Hardware in Westfield. It's a great local spot that’s been serving our community for years. From tools to tips, they’ve got what hardworking Wisconsinites need to get the job done. It's always great to support small businesses that keep our towns running strong!

I recently stopped by Coloma Creamery. Nothing beats supporting local businesses that make our communities sweeter. From fresh ice cream to friendly service, they’re a true Wisconsin gem. It's always great to see hardworking folks keeping small-town traditions alive.
