Dear Senator Johnson, I am your constituent in the Town of Oregon, and I am writing to ask you to publicly condemn the administration's latest violation of a federal court order and to use your oversight authority to make sure it complies. The rule of law depends on every branch of government, including the executive, obeying the courts. When that obligation is treated as optional, the rights of every Wisconsinite are at risk. As chair of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, you have real tools for this: hearings, document requests, and a public platform to insist that federal agencies follow lawful court rulings. You have often described oversight of the executive branch as a core duty of Congress. I urge you to apply that same standard now, whichever party holds the White House. Please let me know whether you will publicly call for compliance and commit to using your subcommittee's oversight power on this matter. I vote, and I am following your actions closely. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Baldwin, I am a constituent in the Town of Oregon. Thank you for speaking out about possible election interference by the Trump administration. I am also grateful that you introduced legislation to bar federal funds from being used to send Department of Homeland Security or National Guard personnel to places where an election is being held. With the November election weeks away, I ask that you use your senior position on the Appropriations Committee to add that ban to any spending bill or continuing resolution before the Senate. A bill that stands alone may never reach the floor in time. Language in a funding bill is the one thing this administration cannot ignore. This step fits your record, including your cosponsorship of the bill to prohibit interference in federal elections. Our polling places here are small and run by our neighbors. Federal agents stationed nearby would scare off voters and the people who staff the polls. Will you publicly commit to offering this as an amendment, or to making it a condition of your vote, and tell constituents what happens? Please know that we have your back if you fight hard on this. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Representative Pocan, I am a constituent in the Town of Oregon, and I am writing first to thank you. You cosponsored legislation to extend the ban on foreign money in our elections to foreign-controlled, foreign-influenced, and foreign-owned businesses. Congratulations as well on your primary victory in August. Your commitment to our democracy matters to me. I am also writing with one specific request. Please publicly condemn the administration's latest violation of a federal court order, and use your power as a senior member of the Appropriations Committee to enforce compliance. When the executive branch ignores the courts, the rule of law depends on Congress using the power of the purse. Tying agency funding to compliance with court orders would do that. So would leading a sign-on letter that demands oversight hearings. Would you commit to taking one of these steps in the coming month? I would welcome a reply on what you plan to do. Many of your constituents will stand behind you if you push harder. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Attorney General Kaul, I am a constituent in the Town of Oregon, and I am writing to thank you for your work defending the rule of law. I also have one specific request. Before the November election, please issue formal guidance to Wisconsin's county and municipal clerks explaining how state law protects election administration from federal interference, and commit publicly that the Department of Justice will act immediately in court if that interference happens. I noticed you discussed Wisconsin election oversight in recent interviews, and I appreciate it. But this administration has already defied federal court orders, and the clerks who run our elections, including the small local office that serves the Town of Oregon, need clear legal backing from your office before voting begins, not after. Your office has the authority to issue formal legal opinions and to go to court. I urge you to use both, and to publish the guidance by mid October so clerks and voters can rely on it. Please know that constituents like me support you taking strong action on this. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Johnson, I am writing as your constituent in the Town of Oregon to ask you to use your position as chair of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to support an independent investigation into the latest ICE shooting. I also ask you to schedule a public oversight hearing on it through your committee or the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. You cosponsored this year's resolution designating National Police Week. Honoring law enforcement should also mean holding every agency to a clear standard of accountability, and ICE should meet that standard too. When federal agents use deadly force, the public needs an independent review, not one conducted by the agency under scrutiny. Due process and transparency protect both the public and the officers who do their jobs lawfully. This is a Wisconsin issue. Our dairy farms, schools, and congregations depend on immigrant neighbors, and many of those families are living in fear. Your committee has the authority to bring facts into the open. I am asking you to use it, and I will be following how you respond. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Baldwin, I am your constituent in the Town of Oregon, and I want to thank you for introducing your bill to stop the administration from sending ICE and the National Guard to polling places. It is exactly the kind of leadership Wisconsin needs, and it shows you see how these enforcement powers can be abused. I am writing with one specific request. As a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, please oppose any further ICE funding in the upcoming appropriations bills, fight to strip or condition that money in committee, and vote no on the floor on any bill that expands it. You have cosponsored legislation calling for independent investigation of deadly force by law enforcement, and ICE should face the same accountability. Its budget should not grow while it denies people due process and separates families. Immigrant neighbors here in Dane County, including families who work on our farms and children in our schools, are living in fear. Please make a public commitment to this position, and know that your constituents will back you if you fight harder. I would be grateful to hear what steps you plan to take. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Representative Pocan, I am your constituent in the Town of Oregon. I am writing to thank you for your work and to ask you to vote against any further ICE funding in the upcoming appropriations bills. I also ask you to use your senior seat on the Appropriations Committee to lead other members in doing the same. Your recent cosponsorship of an emergency increase in federal Medicaid funding for home and community-based services shows that you know federal money should support families, not put them in danger. Advocates are now calling for an independent investigation into the latest ICE shooting. Until that happens and real limits are in place, including keeping enforcement out of schools, this agency should not get more money. In Dane County, immigrant neighbors work on our farms, run our businesses, and raise children who attend our schools. They deserve due process and safety. Please commit publicly to voting no on new ICE funding and to leading a sign-on letter urging your Appropriations colleagues to do the same. Your constituents will back you if you take a strong stand, and I will follow up to hear what you decide. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Governor Evers, I am writing as your constituent in the Town of Oregon to thank you for your service and to make one specific request. Before your term ends, please issue an executive order that bars state agencies, state data, and state personnel from assisting civil immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant. Your recent announcement of a final opportunity to apply for a pardon before the next governor takes office shows that you are using your remaining time to protect Wisconsinites. Immigrant families in Dane County need that same protection now. Many are afraid to send their children to school, seek medical care, or report to work. State resources should never be used to separate families or deny anyone due process. An executive order is a concrete, public step within your authority as head of the executive branch. It would set a clear standard for agencies such as DHS and DOT and would give families some certainty during this transition. I respectfully ask that you commit to issuing it, and I would welcome a response letting me know whether you will. Many of us in your community will stand behind you if you take this step. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Attorney General Kaul, I am a constituent in the Town of Oregon, and I am grateful for your work challenging unlawful federal actions on behalf of Wisconsin. I am writing to ask you to publicly commit that the Wisconsin Department of Justice will independently investigate any shooting by federal immigration agents in our state. You recently discussed investigating police shootings with PBS Wisconsin. Shootings by ICE agents deserve the same independent scrutiny. Federal agencies should not be the only ones investigating their own agents. Your office can also join multistate litigation that challenges unlawful enforcement tactics and denials of due process, and I urge you to keep using that power boldly. Immigrant families in Dane County are our neighbors, and they need to know that state law enforcement will protect their rights and their safety. Please make a public commitment in the coming weeks and let constituents know how we can follow its progress. Many of us will support you as you fight harder. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear County Executive Agard, I am a constituent in the Town of Oregon, and I am writing to thank you for your leadership and to ask you to take a specific step. Please include dedicated funding for immigrant legal defense and due process support in your 2027 county budget proposal. Please also publicly reaffirm Dane County's policy of not cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. Advocates are calling for an independent investigation into the latest ICE shooting, and immigrant families in our county are living in fear of mass deportation and family separation. In July, you spoke out after the police-involved shooting in Madison. Our immigrant neighbors need that same commitment to accountability now. Dane County's farms, schools, and small businesses rely on these families. They deserve to know that county resources will protect their due process rights and will not be used to separate them from their families. As County Executive, you set the county's priorities and propose its budget. I ask you to use that power boldly, and I would welcome a reply confirming whether you will include this funding and make a public statement. Many constituents will support you if you take a stronger stand. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Sheriff Barrett, I am a constituent in the Town of Oregon, and I am writing with one specific request. Please adopt, in writing, and publish a policy that the Dane County jail will not honor ICE detainers or share inmate release information with federal immigration authorities unless a judge has signed a judicial warrant. In June you wrote that the Sheriff's Office needs sustained investments, and your office has since received grants for more patrols. I respect your commitment to public safety. That is why residents need a clear, public assurance that the office's growing resources will stay focused on local safety and will not be used for federal immigration enforcement. Community trust is a public safety tool. Immigrant families in Dane County, including many who work on farms around Oregon, need to know they can report crimes and help investigations without fear of deportation. A published policy would give them that confidence and would show that due process applies to everyone in your custody. I would appreciate knowing whether you will commit to publishing this policy before the end of the year. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Johnson, I am your constituent in the Town of Oregon, and I am writing to ask you to oppose cuts to the National Park Service and any effort to privatize national parks or treat them as revenue-generating assets. Yosemite is one of the parks under threat right now, and it shows what is at stake for public lands across the country. Politico has reported that you are prepared to take over the Senate Budget Committee. That role would give you significant influence over federal spending priorities. I urge you to use it to fully fund the Park Service and to reject proposals that would turn protected public land into a commercial asset. These parks belong to every American, and conservation should not depend on whether a place turns a profit. Wisconsin has a direct stake in this. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail passes through Dane County, and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore draws visitors and supports local economies in the north. I respectfully ask for your commitment to protect Park Service funding and oppose privatization in any budget you help shape. I will be following your actions on this issue. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Baldwin, I am your constituent in the Town of Oregon, and I am writing to thank you for standing up for clean water. In August you and your colleagues demanded that the EPA drop its efforts to weaken PFAS drinking water protections. That kind of leadership on the environment matters to my family and my neighbors in Dane County. I am asking you to bring the same determination to our national parks. There are serious threats to cut park funding and to turn places like Yosemite into assets that generate revenue instead of land protected for everyone. As a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, you can fight these changes directly inside the spending bills. Please commit publicly to fully funding the National Park Service and to opposing any appropriations bill that cuts park budgets or opens our parks to privatization. I would appreciate a reply telling me what steps you will take, and I will follow up. Your constituents will support you if you fight hard on this. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Representative Pocan, I am writing as your constituent in the Town of Oregon to thank you for cosponsoring the July 2026 resolution that recognizes the health and safety emergency children face because of the administration's directives to unleash fossil fuels and suppress climate science. That stand matters, and I am asking you to back it with the power you hold as a senior member of the Appropriations Committee. Please lead or support language in the Interior and Environment appropriations bill, or in any continuing resolution, that protects National Park Service funding and staffing and explicitly bars efforts to privatize parks like Yosemite or treat them as revenue-generating assets. Protected public lands store carbon, safeguard clean water, and belong to every American. Here at home, the Ice Age Trail through Dane County, the Apostle Islands, and the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway all rely on the same federal commitment. If that commitment erodes at Yosemite, it can erode here. I would be grateful for a reply letting me know what concrete step you will take, such as an amendment, a sign-on letter, or report language. Constituents in the 2nd District will stand behind you if you push hard on this. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Governor Evers, Thank you for your recent radio address celebrating National Clean Energy Week and highlighting Wisconsin's clean energy efforts. As a constituent in the Town of Oregon, I appreciate your leadership on this issue. I am writing to ask you to make that progress permanent by issuing an executive order before you leave office. The order should direct the DNR and other state agencies to speed up clean energy work and to protect Wisconsin's public lands for the long term. You are nearing the end of your tenure and are not seeking re-election, so you are free to act boldly. National parks such as Yosemite now face cuts and privatization threats. Wisconsin can set a clear example that public land is a shared trust, not a revenue asset. Families in Dane County depend on clean air, clean water, and open space, and we want those protections to last beyond any one administration. Please commit to signing this executive order this fall and announcing it publicly so constituents can follow up. Many of us will stand behind you if you take this step. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Attorney General Kaul, I am a constituent in the Town of Oregon, and I am grateful for your work defending Wisconsin against unlawful federal actions. I am writing to ask you to join or lead a multistate legal challenge to any unlawful federal cuts to, or privatization of, our national parks and public lands. Advocates are raising alarms about threats to Yosemite National Park and about proposals to treat national parks as revenue-generating assets rather than protected public land. Wisconsin has a direct stake. The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, and the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, which passes through Dane County, all depend on the same federal protections. When agencies bypass the laws that safeguard these places, state attorneys general are among the few officials who can hold them accountable in court. I respectfully ask that you publicly commit, within the next 30 days, to joining that fight, and that you share what your office is doing to protect public lands. Please know that constituents like me support you in taking bold action. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Johnson, I am writing as your constituent in the Town of Oregon, Dane County, to ask you to vote against any Farm Bill or spending package that cuts SNAP funding or adds new obstacles to food assistance. In Wisconsin, FoodShare keeps groceries on the table for working families, children, seniors, and people with disabilities in every part of the state, both rural and urban. Cutting food assistance does not make hunger go away. It pushes that need onto food pantries, schools, and local communities, and it takes business away from grocers in small towns. I am also worried that these cuts often come packaged with reductions to Medicaid and BadgerCare, which Wisconsin families, hospitals, and nursing homes depend on. You have real power here, through your vote on the Farm Bill and on appropriations, and through your oversight role, where you can require honest accounting of how many Wisconsinites would lose benefits. I respectfully ask you to commit publicly to opposing any cut to SNAP funding. As a voter, I will be paying close attention to how you vote on this issue. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Baldwin, I am writing as your constituent in the Town of Oregon to thank you for your work on health care. I also have a specific request. Please publicly commit to vote against any Farm Bill or appropriations bill that cuts SNAP, Medicaid, or disability and senior benefits. And please use your senior seat on the Appropriations Committee to keep those cuts out of spending bills. I was glad to see that you cosponsored legislation to expand Medicaid home and community-based services and to strengthen the direct care workforce. You also cosponsored a bill to remove limits on Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, and VA benefits for people held in custody while they await the outcome of their charges. Those bills show you understand how much Wisconsin families depend on these programs. Right now SNAP funding is at risk in the Farm Bill, and cuts would fall hardest on working families, seniors, and people with disabilities in Dane County and across rural Wisconsin. Please go beyond statements. Draw a clear public line, lead an oversight letter, and use the minority's procedural tools to stop these cuts. I would be grateful for a reply telling me what steps you will take. Constituents like me will stand behind you. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Representative Pocan, I am your constituent in the Town of Oregon, and I want to thank you for cosponsoring the bill to provide an emergency increase in federal funding for state Medicaid home and community-based services. Seniors and people with disabilities in Dane County depend on those services to stay in their homes and communities, and I'm grateful you are standing up for them. I am writing to ask you to take one more concrete step. Please lead a public sign-on letter to House leadership insisting that any Farm Bill fully protect SNAP funding, with no cuts and no new barriers to eligibility. Your seniority on Appropriations and your role in founding the Congressional Progressive Caucus put you in a strong position to rally colleagues and make this a line leadership cannot ignore. In Wisconsin, SNAP is FoodShare, and it keeps working families, children, and seniors fed in rural towns like mine and in Madison. Cuts would push more neighbors onto food pantries that are already stretched thin. Constituents like me will back you if you fight hard on this. Please let me know whether you will lead this letter in the coming weeks. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Governor Evers, I am a constituent in the Town of Oregon, and I am grateful for your record of defending Wisconsin families. I am writing with one specific request. Please direct the Department of Health Services to use every flexibility and exemption available under state and federal law to keep eligible Wisconsinites enrolled in BadgerCare and FoodShare. As new federal reporting requirements and cost shifts arrive, the biggest risk is procedural. Eligible people lose coverage and food assistance because of paperwork, missed notices, and confusing rules. Automatic renewals, simpler verification, and outreach before anyone is cut off would protect seniors, people with disabilities, children, and the rural and farm families in Dane County. It would also protect the clinics, hospitals, and grocers that depend on these programs. I also ask that you commit publicly to vetoing any legislation that adds new state barriers to these programs. Your office holds real power here through agency direction and the veto pen. Because you are not seeking re-election, you are free to act boldly, and constituents like me will support you. Would you announce a DHS enrollment protection plan this fall and tell the public how it will be carried out? Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Governor Evers, I am a constituent from the Town of Oregon in Dane County, and I am writing to thank you for defending Wisconsin's public lands. I also want to ask you to take one concrete step: call the Legislature into special session to fully reauthorize and fund the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, and to end the Joint Finance Committee's anonymous holds on conservation purchases. For more than three decades, Knowles-Nelson has protected the parks, trails, forests, and habitat that make Wisconsin what it is. Its bonding authority has been allowed to shrink, and anonymous committee holds let individual legislators quietly block projects that communities have supported, with no public accountability. My family and neighbors in Dane County rely on the green space and clean water this program protects. You are in your final months in office and are not seeking re-election, so you are free to lead boldly on this. Please use your authority to call a special session, and make it clear that you will not sign a budget that leaves this program to lapse. I would welcome a public commitment that I can follow. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Attorney General Kaul, I am a constituent in the Town of Oregon, Dane County, and I am grateful for your work defending Wisconsin against unlawful overreach. I am writing to ask you to use the powers of your office to protect the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, which has funded public land, parks, trails, and habitat across our state for generations. The program's bonding authority has been allowed to lapse and shrink. The Legislature's Joint Finance Committee has also used anonymous holds to block individual conservation purchases, with no public accountability. I respectfully ask that you issue a formal legal opinion on whether these anonymous holds are lawful, and that you publicly call for full reauthorization and funding of Knowles-Nelson. Your seat on the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands gives you added standing to speak for our public lands. Families in Dane County depend on these places. Please take a concrete, public step on this issue soon. I would appreciate a reply letting me know what action your office plans to take. Constituents like me will support you as you do. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Secretary Godlewski, I am writing as a constituent from the Town of Oregon in Dane County. Thank you for your work on behalf of Wisconsin's public lands. I am asking you to take a concrete, public step: call on the Legislature to fully reauthorize and fund the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, and to end the Joint Finance Committee's use of anonymous holds to block individual conservation purchases. As a member of the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, you help manage public trust lands on behalf of all Wisconsinites. That role, together with your statewide platform, gives you credibility to speak on conservation. Knowles-Nelson has funded public land, parks, trails, and habitat across the state for decades. Letting its bonding authority shrink, and letting unnamed legislators quietly block purchases, undermines both conservation and open government. Specifically, I ask that within the next 30 days you send a public letter to the JFC co-chairs calling for full reauthorization and an end to anonymous holds, and that you use your public appearances to press the issue. Please let me know whether you will make this commitment. Constituents are ready to support you if you push hard on this. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Treasurer Leiber, I am a constituent from 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575, in the Town of Oregon, and I am writing to ask you to publicly support fully reauthorizing and funding the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program. I also ask you to call for an end to the anonymous Joint Finance Committee holds that let individual legislators block conservation purchases without any public accountability. As chair of the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, you oversee roughly 77,000 acres of public trust land. That role gives you a credible, direct voice on how Wisconsin cares for its public lands. Knowles-Nelson has a long bipartisan record of protecting parks, trails, habitat, and hunting and fishing access across the state. Letting its bonding authority lapse, and allowing secret holds to stall purchases, weakens a program that Wisconsinites of every political stripe rely on. Families in Dane County, including mine, depend on these public lands for clean water, recreation, and open space. I vote, and I am following this issue closely. I respectfully ask that you make a public statement in support of full reauthorization and transparent review of stewardship purchases. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Marklein, I am a constituent in the Town of Oregon. I am writing to ask you to use your role as co-chair of the Joint Finance Committee to fully reauthorize and fund the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, and to end the practice of anonymous JFC holds on conservation land purchases. Knowles-Nelson carries the names of Republican Governor Warren Knowles and Democratic Senator Gaylord Nelson. For decades it has had support from both parties because it protects the public lands, parks, trails, and wildlife habitat that Wisconsin families, hunters, anglers, and rural economies rely on. Letting its bonding authority lapse or shrink puts that legacy at risk. Anonymous holds also let individual projects be blocked with no public accountability. In fast-growing Dane County, open land lost to development is gone for good. As JFC co-chair, you have more direct power over this outcome than almost anyone in the Legislature. I respectfully ask for your public commitment to a full reauthorization and to ending anonymous holds. I will be following the committee's action on this issue closely. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Representative Jacobson, As your constituent in the Town of Oregon, thank you for your work on behalf of our community. I am writing with one specific request. Please co-sponsor full reauthorization and funding of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, and use your position to force a recorded floor vote so every member of the Assembly has to go on the record. For decades, Knowles-Nelson has protected the parks, trails, and habitat that make Wisconsin special. Its bonding authority has been allowed to lapse and shrink, and the Joint Finance Committee has used anonymous holds to block individual conservation purchases with no public accountability. Here in Oregon and across Dane County, these lands protect our water, our wildlife, and the outdoor places our families use. You live in our community and are running for the 17th Senate District, so you are well placed to lead on this. I respectfully ask that you commit publicly to co-sponsoring reauthorization and to calling for an end to anonymous JFC holds. Please let me know what steps you plan to take. Constituents like me will stand behind you. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575
