Her dad, who spent his career in law enforcement, her mom, a social worker, and her stepdad, an environmental lawyer, taught her to find the good in people, take every chance to help others, and follow her passion for public service. For over two decades, Kelda has devoted her career to making real change for everyday Wisconsinites -- improving lives and making state government work for us.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/7e4168f2-3ad1-47f2-b9a3-b304b7a43bf9/85f96da5-deb9-4dc7-80bc-4b01553c50a4/85f96da5-deb9-4dc7-80bc-4b01553c50a4.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=298%2C0%2C1308%2C1378&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="25" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"><h3 style="text-align: center;">BUILDING A STRONGER, MORE AFFORDABLE FUTURE FOR WISCONSIN</h3>As a mom and stepmom of five, Kelda’s commitment to Wisconsin’s future is personal — and she knows a thing or two about managing chaos.

As a legislator, she has fought relentlessly to protect abortion rights, expand infertility coverage and contraception access, and get politicians out of our private decisions. With democracy on the line, Kelda knows that our rights and freedoms are non-negotiable.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/7e4168f2-3ad1-47f2-b9a3-b304b7a43bf9/017375e3-9e38-4e43-b329-cdedf9931ac6/017375e3-9e38-4e43-b329-cdedf9931ac6.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C2068%2C1374&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="25" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"><h3 style="text-align: center;">EXPANDING ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE</h3>As a legislator, Kelda turns big ideas into real results: expanding BadgerCare to cover 80,000 more Wisconsinites and working with nurse practitioners to pass a bipartisan law to make health care more affordable and more accessible. On the powerful budget-writing committee, Kelda has championed affordable childcare, public education funding, and lowering costs for families.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/7e4168f2-3ad1-47f2-b9a3-b304b7a43bf9/de9dc37e-34e6-4334-9649-8791b7168a55/de9dc37e-34e6-4334-9649-8791b7168a55.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C2048%2C1365&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="25" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"><h3 style="text-align: center;">LOOKING OUT FOR SMALL BUSINESSES</h3>When she saw the beginnings of the housing crisis, Kelda founded a business to lower fees and make it easier for people to buy and sell their homes. As a small business owner and entrepreneur, Kelda knows the challenges our small businesses face – and that solving them is the key to a vibrant, growing economy that works for everyone.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/7e4168f2-3ad1-47f2-b9a3-b304b7a43bf9/440b8981-fe72-47eb-aa91-5f34228db175/440b8981-fe72-47eb-aa91-5f34228db175.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C221%2C7190%2C4650&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="25" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"><h3 style="text-align: center;">HOLDING THE POWERFUL ACCOUNTABLE</h3>Kelda doesn’t bend to billionaires or bullies. She holds the powerful accountable: she stood up to the chemical lobby and authored the BPA Free Kids Act, to stop the neurotoxin bisphenol A from being put into baby bottles. She spoke out against the Foxconn boondoggle when others wouldn’t. And when Elon Musk tried to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat – she raised hell, urging him to be charged for violating Wisconsin’s election bribery laws. Kelda’s campaigns have always been powered by grassroots contributions, not corporate PACs.&nbsp;<img src="https://run.imgix.net/7e4168f2-3ad1-47f2-b9a3-b304b7a43bf9/69f4d526-6022-4b5b-a003-175f296eb83f/69f4d526-6022-4b5b-a003-175f296eb83f.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=117%2C21%2C812%2C644&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="25" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"><h3 style="text-align: center;">A RELENTLESS GOVERNOR FOR A BETTER WISCONSIN</h3>As our Governor, Kelda will work tirelessly to make Wisconsin the best place to live, work, and raise a family. That starts by making our public schools the best in the country from early childhood to higher education, making health care affordable and accessible, and empowering families struggling to make ends meet by raising wages and lowering costs for all Wisconsinites. Kelda will fight until the job is done – she always has, and always will.

Kelda’s Plan for Energy Abundance

Lower Costs, Cleaner AirWisconsin will be 100% powered by clean energy by 2050. Combating climate change is our century’s challenge, and upgrading our energy grid for efficiency and renewables will help lower energy costs while reducing pollution and improving human health. The future of Wisconsin’s energy economy is in clean, renewable power, especially solar, wind, and geothermal, and more efficient use of our grid and energy resources.Wisconsin has no fossil fuels, so every dollar we spend on hydrocarbons leaves our state. Fortunately, wind and solar are now the cheapest and fastest new sources of energy – meaning it makes financial sense to be investing in renewables. But it’s also good for our economy, because clean energy creates high-paying jobs that stay here in Wisconsin, and we can be a leader in renewable energy technology. Our highly-skilled manufacturing workforce and world class research institutions put Wisconsin in a great position to lead on the creation and implementation of new, clean energy technology, from batteries to nuclear fusion.

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

Lower energy costs by appointing PSC commissioners who will stand up for consumers, not act as rubber stamps for utility companies, and who will prioritize conservation/efficiency and wind and solar generation, which are cheaper than fossil fuelsExpand the PSC’s staff so that they have the capacity to actually vet and challenge rate hikes and certificates, while improving regulatory functions for stakeholdersIncrease the budget of the Citizens Utility Board so that ratepayers have a meaningful advocateEncourage and prioritize the development of renewable energy production, by making it easier and faster to build solar, wind, and geothermal energy – enabling us to bring coal fired power plants offline more quicklyExpand access to renewable power and solar energy for renters, low-income households, farmers, and homeowners who cannot install rooftop solar because of cost, shading, roof condition, or property restrictions.Increase energy independence and reduce strain on transmission systems by diversifying power generation, encouraging local generation closer to where power is needed, and reducing reliance on imported fuels or out-of-state power purchasesMake Wisconsin a conservation leader – expand the efficiency program Focus on Energy, and create a commercial and industrial counterpart to make reducing energy consumption easy and affordable for businesses, factories, farmers, and other non-residential usersConservation, efficiency, and managing demand are key to keeping utility rates down. I’ll increase investment in Wisconsin’s successful Focus on Energy program and other conservation/energy reduction measures, and create a commercial and industrial counterpart – because the cheapest kilowatt is the one we never use. Wisconsin has fallen far behind on efficiency upgrades that save money and energy, and all of us are paying higher energy costs as a result.

Protect our pocketbooks and our lungs

Public spaces and natural resources must be preserved and protected for future generations. Wisconsin has many beautiful parks and public lands for conservation and recreation, but our future is threatened by climate change and weak environmental policies. Our most important industries -- agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism -- all depending on responsible stewardship of natural resources. Fighting climate change requires a real commitment to clean, renewable power, so that we can have a thriving economy that doesn't threaten our environment and natural resources. Smart energy policies will benefit our environmental and economic health while delivering clean, reliable, affordable energy. As governor, I will: <ul><li>Increase renewable energy targets for utilities so we can target Wisconsin being 100% powered by clean energy by 2050, and encourage pricing that supports rather than punishes clean energy</li><li>Invest in Wisconsin’s burgeoning clean tech sectors, including the design and development of advanced battery technology, fusion energy, sensors and controls, quantum computing, and advanced manufacturing</li><li>Create incentives and partnerships to make Wisconsin the technological center of clean energy and research</li><li>Require strong protections for workers and consumers on energy projects, making sure that well-trained and fairly compensated workers are building and maintaining our energy infrastructure, including renewables, and ensuring that all energy developers and producers meet strong safety standards</li></ul>

Clean energy is a win for workers, families, and our planet. Wisconsin can lead the fight against climate change while creating good-paying union jobs and building an economy that works for everyone.

“No matter where you are in Wisconsin, affordable housing is becoming harder to find. Housing costs are rising fast enough without letting landlords use computer-aided illegal price-fixing schemes. Skyrocketing housing costs are hurting our economy – making it hard for employers to attract and retain workers, reducing people’s spending power and financial security, and increasing homelessness. This legislation will help stop big tech companies from ripping off Wisconsin renters.”

ROYS, BROWN CIRCULATES LEGISLATION TO PREVENT RENT PRICE GOUGING

A group of Democratic Wisconsin State Senators introduced a bill to make a $480 million direct investment in the state’s child care industry on Thursday, May 22.

DEMOCRATIC SENATORS INTRODUCE BILL TO FUND CHILD CARE

The transition to clean energy is not just a challenge but an opportunity for Wisconsin. We can leverage our expertise and strengths as a state to make Wisconsin a leader in this high growth sector. Good paying jobs, capital investment, and tax revenue can follow from Wisconsin’s role in researching, designing, and manufacturing components of clean tech, from solar glass to turbine components to nuclear fusion.Increase renewable energy targets for utilities so we can target Wisconsin being 100% powered by clean energy by 2050, and encourage pricing that supports rather than punishes clean energyInvest in Wisconsin’s burgeoning clean tech sectors, including the design and development of advanced battery technology, fusion energy, sensors and controls, quantum computing, and advanced manufacturingCreate incentives and partnerships to make Wisconsin the technological center of clean energy and researchRequire strong protections for workers and consumers on energy projects, making sure that well-trained and fairly compensated workers are building and maintaining our energy infrastructure, and ensuring that developers meet strong safety standards

Invest in Wisconsin’s Healthcare Workforce

As governor, I will immediately stop the unregulated development of hyperscale data centers. I have the strongest plan to protect Wisconsinites from the significant potential harms posed by AI and data centers. Immediately upon taking office as governor, I will:<ul><li>Issue an executive order on Day One to direct state agencies, including the PSC and the DNR, to use their lawful authority to enforce strong consumer, worker, and environmental and water use protections, protect ratepayers from increased energy costs, and properly vet all proposals for new energy or transmission required by data centers.</li><li>Pass strong statewide standards like those outlined in <a href="https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2025/related/proposals/sb729.pdf" style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">SB 729</a> to establish binding regulations protecting <a href="https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2025/related/proposals/sb729.pdf">workers, ratepayers, local residents and transparency, and our environment</a> from reckless data center development. This will prohibit any data center development from moving forward unless it meets necessary standards for environmental protection of our air, land and water, and prioritizes Wisconsin union workers who earn prevailing wage, puts local communities in control and requiring transparency, and protecting ratepayers from increased utility costs. No more secret backroom deals, no more polluted or disappeared water, no more skyrocketing energy bills. This bill already has broad support, with 49 Democratic legislators in both the Senate and Assembly cosponsoring it -- we can build upon that support and strengthen it, and pass it immediately when the legislature reconvenes in January.</li><li>Repeal tax subsidies and incentives for data center developers -- they should be paying us, not the other way around!</li><li>Establish a Wisconsin public negotiation team that can assist local communities being targeted by data center developers, so that volunteer local elected officials and municipal staff don’t have to go up against powerful, sophisticated attorneys from Meta, Google, and other Big Tech giants without support or expertise. We will strengthen the bargaining power of our local communities so they have the freedom to say NO to data centers, or to make their own demands above and beyond our strong state standards.</li><li>Require significant upfront payments from large data center projects, on the order of hundreds of millions of dollars, to capitalize a public clean energy infrastructure bank, to provide no-interest revolving loans financing clean energy upgrades to public buildings. Upfront payments also discourage speculative development and protect Wisconsinites from being left holding the bag for future damages if the development goes belly up.</li><li>Every school, every public building should get energy efficiency upgrades – to be heated and cooled by geothermal or heat pumps, and powered by solar panels on the roof – but to do that, they need upfront capital that has been out of reach given the state’s paltry funding for schools and municipalities. The public infrastructure bank, funded by data center payments, can make this a reality. Recipients can pay back the loans over time with the energy savings, helping Wisconsin get cleaner energy and air while saving taxpayer dollars now and into the future. In addition, we can make real upgrades to our grid's reliability and efficiency, so that we are able to move clean, renewable energy around with minimal loss and friction.</li><li>Establish differential rates for big energy users and require large load flexibility. As a condition of building in Wisconsin, large-scale data centers and other big energy users should pay higher rates than Wisconsin families and small businesses. In addition, they should be prepared to have their access to the grid limited during times of unusually high demand, such as extremely hot or cold days.</li><li>Increase shared revenue to local municipalities. The reason local communities are so desperate for funds is because for decades, Republican politicians have starved them of resources from the state budget. That means higher property taxes to fund critical local services like fire and police, water and roads, and parks and libraries. When our municipalities get the funding they need to serve their residents, they won't need to desperately chase money from data centers.</li><li>And because data centers are built to meet the perceived demands of the AI revolution, we have to regulate AI itself. No legislator in the state has authored more bills to <a href="https://www.keldaroys.com/issues/big-tech?source=364c96c7-e9f6-4c92-8b8c-e9f730570799" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">protect Wisconsinites from potential AI harms and Big Tech</a> than I have. As governor, I'll stand up for Wisconsinites and make sure technology works for all of us -- not the biggest, wealthiest, most powerful companies in the world.</li></ul>

Hyperscale data centers are creating significant demand for energy, and Wisconsin must act immediately to put strong protections in place for workers, our environment – especially our water, local control and transparency, and protections for ratepayers. I’ve sponsored <a href="https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2025/related/proposals/sb729.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">legislation to create meaningful guardrails</a> so that local communities are not left to fend for themselves against the richest, most powerful companies in the history of the world. Wisconsinites shouldn’t be subsidizing data centers – they need to pay their own way, and to pay enhanced rates for the infrastructure and energy they use.
