Meals on Wheels Day in Rice Lake last week! This program is more than just delivering a hot meal, it is a pathway to additional services the person may need. I met so many amazing people. Thank you for the opportunity and keep up the great work! #communitymatters

Thank you to everyone who came to testify on Senate Bill 23, extension of Medicaid coverage for postpartum mothers this Wednesday. Our hearing room was overflowing with advocates who came to testify ALL IN SUPPORT. Your stories and advocacy are an inspiration.🩷👩🍼 #healthymoms
On Friday, I had the opportunity to visit the exceptional team at @RawhideYouth Services in New London. An organization that has been dedicated to serving young men aged 11-18 years old since 1965, with a reach of several thousand individuals. Thanks for having me!

State Senator Jesse James and Rep. Todd Novak have proposed a bill that would keep insurance companies from being able to deny authorization for medications prescribed by a psychiatrist to treat mental illnesses.

Last week, I attended the Blue Door Open House at the BGC the Greater Chippewa Valley - Lee & Mary Markquart Center. This organization is doing incredible work, providing kids with a safe space to learn, grow, and thrive. Huge shoutout to all the volunteers!
Right now, we're one of only two states limiting coverage to 60 days! This is far too short for moms recovering from childbirth.
Extending coverage improves health outcomes, saves lives, and reduces costs. Together, we can build a healthier, stronger Wisconsin.

I am excited to see @GovEvers and I are on the same page when it comes to putting our kids first! During this "Year of the Kid", I am focused on mental health and ensuring kids have the resources and support they need to thrive. #StateOfTheState #kids #mentalhealth

"The ER was built to help 75 to 80 patients a day. Last year, they averaged 63 patients a day. Last month that number was up to an average of 93 patients per day."
This is why we voted to override the veto of SB 1014.

Congrats to State Senator Jesse James for receiving the Government Service Award from NAMI Wisconsin for service at the state level of government by someone who works to improve the quality of life of people affected by mental illnesses and/or promote recovery. @SenJesseJames
Some added context: A committee can't release funding when they don't have the authority to because the bill containing the plan for distribution was vetoed. Sen. Smith forgets to add that if JFC "released the money anyway", they would be acting outside of their legal bounds.

“Fostering a Marketplace of Ideas” -- featuring @JodiRep, @SenJesseJames, @BleskeRechek & @EricTKasper -- will occur on Mon., April 24 at noon in CEN 1614 at @UWEauClaire. @JayORothman will moderate. This panel is one in a series of @UWSystem initiatives promoting civil dialogue.
Proud to be leading on this bill with my colleague Rep. Spiros.

Enough fentanyl to kill 2.5 MILLION people was just found in WI. The crisis is out of control, but we are working on it. AB 68 is a bipartisan bill that was recently passed out of my committee. It sets the penalty for dealing drugs that result in death as a reckless homicide
