Why Caroline
Caroline cares about working families, families of color, immigrant families, and people who are doing their best, but come up short due to how American and Wisconsin systems of government, bureaucracy, and the economy function.
Her family sacrificed greatly to give her the life and opportunities she has, and she wants to give back to her community and help people to not just survive, but to thrive.
“I want every resident of Milwaukee’s south side – in fact, every resident of Wisconsin – regardless of race, gender, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, or immigration status, to feel safe and respected where they live, work, and play.
I want to be a bridge between the community and the policies made at the county level that impact our day-to-day lives. I am used to being the only one at the table representing my community, but when I take a seat at the table, I bring my entire community with me.
I have experience in and a passion for public health and racial equity, and I lead with reason, intention, and kindness.
District 14 deserves a strong voice at the county level and I have proven to be that voice. I hope I can continue to earn your vote.”
