VETERANS….Peggy supported our veterans by working to eliminate state income tax on military pensions.

JOBS….Peggy worked hard to make our area more competitive for jobs by initiating small business property tax relief and unemployment insurance reform.

AGRICULTURE….Peggy advocated for our farmers to prevent DNR overreach and provide property tax relief for ag land while preserving school levy funding.
