Hi Friend,

Week in Review

This week started at the Cascade Fireman's Parade, followed by the Sheboygan Falls America 250 Celebration. One of the highlights of the day was the Wisconsin traveling Veterans Memorial “I Am Not Invisible” exhibit, featuring the stories of Wisconsin women veterans. It was a reminder that there are a lot of service stories we don’t always hear.

The team spent the afternoon talking with veterans, Lions Club members, local candidates, volunteers, and neighbors from all political backgrounds.

Most of the conversations weren’t about politics. They were about families, community, service, and the future.

Join Us This Sunday

Join Team Christian in Kiel this weekend for the 2026 Kiel Picnic Parade. This year's theme is "America's 250 Years of Freedom." Come walk alongside Christian as we pass out candy, campaign information, and good vibes.

Civic Spotlight: Serving Every Voter

You may notice Christian isn't on the ballot for the August 11 primary. That's normal. Primaries are how parties choose their nominees, and as an Independent, Christian doesn't have one. He'll appear on your ballot for the first time on November 3.

Not being on the primary ballot let Christian help out in a different way this week. He completed Baseline Chief Inspector Training in Plymouth, and on August 11 he'll serve as a Chief Election Inspector at a Sheboygan County polling site, helping make sure every voter, regardless of party, can cast a secure and accurate ballot.

Whether or not you have a primary race to vote in this year, county clerks and poll workers across Sheboygan County will be ready to help you on August 11.

Campaign Statement: Confidence in Our Elections

This week, Christian released a statement affirming his confidence in Wisconsin's election system and the local officials who administer it.

As he prepares to serve as a Chief Election Inspector during the August primary, Christian emphasized that Republican, Democratic, and nonpartisan clerks across Wisconsin work hard to ensure elections are secure, accurate, and fair. He also stated that unsupported claims of "stolen elections" are corrosive to public trust and inconsistent with the shared democratic values that unite our communities.

Save the Date

Mark your calendar for the Oostburg Cookout on August 15. Christian grew up in the Oostburg area, and we'd love a great crowd there, food, family, and a chance to meet Christian in person. Bring the kids, bring a neighbor.

More Ways to Get Involved

Join a canvas. Every doorstep this summer has taught us the same thing: people want to talk about their community, not national politics. No experience necessary, we'll pair you with someone who's done it before.

Be Part of What We're Building

This campaign has been built one conversation at a time. Now, as we enter the next phase of the race, we need to show that those conversations are growing into a community of neighbors who believe our district deserves independent, community-focused leadership.

Already, neighbors across Senate District 9 have stepped forward to support this campaign, with their time, their voices, and their contributions. Now we are working to grow that community even further.

If you believe in what we are building, we invite you to join them. Your contribution is not just an investment in campaign activities; it is a visible statement that people across our district want practical, accountable leadership that puts community before party.

Every new supporter helps demonstrate that this campaign is growing, that independent leadership is possible, and that there is a broad community ready for a different approach.

Thank you again for being part of this effort.

Every doorstep, every event, every conversation helps us understand this district a little better.
