I just turned 45. What a ride! I’m so lucky to get to call this community home. Here I am riding the bus to one of Milwaukee’s wonderful public schools. Now I get to fight for the kids heading to school today — making sure Milwaukee is a city that invests in their future.

I for one am against rate hikes of 23%. How about you?

Why are our energy rates going up so that massive international corporations can make a bigger profit? How does that make sense?

Data Centers are bad for anyone in Milwaukee who doesn't like massive hikes to their energy bills.

Transparency matters. Accountability matters. And protecting Milwaukee families from corporate cost-shifting matters. urbanmilwaukee.com/2026/03/04/cou…

Milwaukee residents already carry a higher-than-average energy burden. We cannot gamble with their utility bills. That’s why I joined my colleagues in unanimously opposing this proposal and calling for data centers to pay 100% of associated costs. >

We Energies wants to create a special rate structure for data centers. They say it won’t impact regular customers. I’m not buying it. Milwaukee families have already seen rate increases of 9.2% in 2023, 2.3% in 2024—with another 6.9% and 3.3% pending. That’s a 23% increase. >

We can’t control what happens in Washington. But here in Milwaukee, we are doing everything we can to ensure our city is safe, transparent, and welcoming for all. No secret police. Not here.

Under our ICE Out framework, we’re setting clear standards: if you are policing our neighborhoods, our residents deserve to know who you are. Public safety depends on trust. And trust requires visibility. >

“There will be no secret police in our city.” Today, the MKE Police Dept adopted a new policy prohibiting officers from wearing facial coverings to conceal their identities while on duty. That’s a win for transparency. A win for accountability. And a win for public trust. >

It’s not enough to say what we’re against — we have to say what we’re for. We’re saying YES to safety. YES to dignity. YES to a Milwaukee where everyone feels welcome. We need population growth, a strong workforce, and a community that welcomes — not raids. 4/4

✅ Increase police accountability ✅ Create safe spaces for immigrants and protect protestors ✅ Create safe spaces for immigrants ✅ Launch the Office of New Milwaukeeans to help grow our city through real community integration 3/

Over the weekend, I marched alongside community members demanding justice and accountability from a federal government that continues to fail us. Yesterday, I stood with my colleagues in the Council Chambers to introduce the ICE Out in Milwaukee legislative package... 1/

On Saturday, I marched in the streets. Today, I was in the Chamber introducing our ICE OUT package. We can’t do everything, but we will do everything we can to protect Milwaukeeans and keep families together.

Due to Congress’s inability to rein in ICE, this rogue organization continues its reign of terror in our communities. Today, my colleagues and I responded to their fear tactics the only way we know how — with local action.

2025 was a terrible year for our country. But MKE showed what’s possible when we work together. Let’s keep that progress going in 2026 & build a community that’s stronger, fairer, and more connected. Kick in $20.26 today to help us start the year strong. secure.actblue.com/donate/marina-…

From our family to yours, wishing you a Feliz Navidad and a new year full of laughter and peace.
