SPOTLIGHT RACE: Brandy Tollefson for WI-AD88

My name is Brandy Tollefson and I’m a working mom of three kids, Treasurer of the De Pere School Board, dedicated community volunteer, and I’m running for the Assembly because I know from my own life what families are going through. We deserve better.

When my son was 9 years old, he landed in the ER with a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis. Our world changed forever. Suddenly I was paying for expensive prescriptions, fighting with insurance, and stuck navigating an unpredictable health care system. I learned quickly that if I didn’t advocate for my son, no one else would.

And in 2024 when extremists were trying to take over our School Board, I ran for the board…and won. As the Board Treasurer, I’m committed to strong, smart investments in our kids and I’m proud that De Pere was recently recognized as one of the best school districts in the state. But it shouldn't matter where you live, we need to do more to invest in our schools without overburdening taxpayers.

While Ben Franklin and Republicans spend their time trying to take away our health care and failing to address rising prices, families in our district can’t afford groceries or rising health care costs. Franklin even voted to close the center for Homeless Veterans in Green Bay.

My husband and I are proud to raise our kids here and we love our community. In the Assembly, I’ll show up for northeast Wisconsin every day and never stop fighting for all our families.
