I'm a 6th generation Wisconsinite. All of my dad's family worked at Filmany, the paper mill in Kaukauna, my mom's side. They're dairy farmers from Calumet and Fond du Lac county. I'm a first generation college student. and I have fought hard for everything that I've earned. And my North Star has always been service, service to others. And it's that public service that brings me here today. (04:53–04:56)
