Dear Senator Johnson, I am writing as a constituent from 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575, to ask you to use your authority as chair of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations to press the Department of Justice to comply fully with the court's order in the Epstein case and to release the unredacted FBI notes and documents it has withheld. A Justice Department that ignores judicial orders and withholds records from the public undermines the rule of law that your committee is charged with overseeing. Your office has real tools here, hearings, document requests, and public pressure, to hold DOJ accountable regardless of which administration is in office. As a constituent and a voter, I would appreciate knowing whether your office will publicly call on DOJ to comply and disclose these records in full. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Baldwin, Thank you for speaking out on the risk of election interference from the Trump administration and for helping introduce legislation to help secure federal elections for federal office. That leadership matters, and as your constituent I want to see it translated into concrete floor action, not just public statements. As a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, you have real leverage: you can force floor votes, place holds on nominees who won't commit to protecting election integrity, and lead oversight letters demanding answers. I'm asking you to commit to pushing the election security bill you cosponsored to an actual floor vote, and to use holds on relevant nominees if the administration continues to stonewall or interfere. I live in the Town of Oregon in Dane County, and free, secure elections are not abstract to us, they are the foundation of everything else we're fighting for. Please use the full weight of your office, not just your voice, to get this bill moving. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Representative Pocan, Thank you for cosponsoring the bill to close the foreign-influenced corporate money loophole in the Federal Election Campaign Act. That is exactly the kind of concrete action needed to protect the integrity of our elections, and I appreciate you taking it. I am writing to ask you to build on that record by using your seat on the Appropriations Committee, which funds and oversees the DOJ, to press for the department's full compliance with the court's order in the Epstein case and the release of the complete, unredacted files. As a former chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, you are well positioned to lead or sign a formal congressional letter demanding this, rather than leaving it to a general statement. Stonewalling by the DOJ is a rule of law problem that deserves direct oversight pressure from members with real leverage. I would appreciate knowing whether you will lead or sign such a letter, and what timeline we might expect. Thank you for your continued responsiveness to constituents in the Town of Oregon. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Attorney General Kaul, I'm writing as a constituent to thank you for the visibility you've brought to the upcoming election, including your recent appearance in Wausau. That kind of public attention matters, and I'd like to see it followed by concrete use of your office's authority. As Attorney General, you can issue formal legal opinions, decline to defend unlawful actions, and join multistate litigation against federal overreach. Given the stakes for the November election, I'm asking you to issue a formal opinion affirming Wisconsin's vote by mail protections now, and to publicly commit that your office will move quickly, through multistate litigation if necessary, against any federal interference with our election. Voters here in the Town of Oregon and across Dane County depend on secure, accessible vote by mail, and we need assurance that your office is ready to act the moment it's needed, not just after the fact. I'd welcome a response outlining a specific timeline for this commitment, and I'm glad to follow up directly. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Johnson, I am writing as a constituent from 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575, to ask you to use your authority as chair of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to open oversight of immigration detention conditions, including the Moshannon Valley Detention Center, and to ensure protection for the DHS whistleblower who exposed agency wrongdoing. Mass detention and the denial of due process affect real families, including immigrant neighbors in our own community. Your committee has direct jurisdiction to demand answers from DHS through hearings and investigations, and whistleblowers who report agency misconduct deserve protection, not retaliation. I am asking you to commit to using that oversight power on this issue in the current session. As your constituent and a voter, I will be watching for concrete action on this and would appreciate a written response outlining your position. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Baldwin, Thank you for speaking out against Head Start deregulation. I'm writing as a constituent to press you to take stronger, concrete action on immigration enforcement and due process using the power your office actually holds. As a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, you can fight inside spending bills to cut funding for facilities like the Moshannon Valley Detention Center, and you can use oversight tools and floor time to demand protection for the DHS whistleblower who exposed agency wrongdoing there, and to protect Haitian TPS holders from deportation. I'm asking you to commit publicly to using your Appropriations position to pursue these outcomes in the next spending bill, not only to issue statements of concern. Please let me know what specific steps you and your office intend to take, and how I can follow up on that commitment. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Representative Pocan, Thank you for the values you've consistently brought to Congress on behalf of immigrant families. I'm writing to ask you to move from statement to action using the tools your office actually holds. Specifically, I'm asking you to use your seniority on the Appropriations Committee to push for defunding and shutting down the Moshannon Valley Detention Center, to publicly call for protection of the DHS whistleblower who exposed agency wrongdoing there, and to press for protection of Haitian TPS holders facing deportation. A sign on letter, a floor amendment, or an Appropriations rider are all within your reach, and each would carry real weight given your standing as a senior member and former Progressive Caucus chair. Constituents in our district are counting on you to fight hard on this, not just to comment on it. I would appreciate knowing what concrete step you plan to take and by when, so I can follow up. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Governor Evers, Thank you for showing up for Wisconsin communities this month, from the Kettle Moraine day of service honoring 9/11 to ordering flags to half staff in remembrance. That kind of steady, visible leadership matters, especially in a tense year that even led you to cancel a Price County visit over unrelated threats. I am writing to ask you to bring that same leadership to bear for immigrant families in our state. As Governor, you hold the veto pen, the power to issue executive orders, and direct authority over state agencies. I am asking you to use that authority to direct Wisconsin agencies not to cooperate with unlawful federal immigration enforcement actions, and to publicly commit to protecting due process for immigrant neighbors, including families facing detention and separation right now. A statement of support is not enough. Wisconsin families need to see you use the tools of your office. I would welcome a concrete, public commitment and a timeline for action. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Attorney General Kaul, Thank you for the Wisconsin DOJ's recent action joining the lawsuit against the U.S. Postal Service and for securing the temporary restraining order protecting mail-in ballots. That kind of decisive use of your office's legal powers is exactly the leadership Wisconsin needs right now. I'm writing as a constituent to ask you to bring that same energy to protecting immigrant families in our state. Detentions that deny due process and separate families are happening now, and your office's authority to issue formal legal opinions and set enforcement priorities gives you real leverage here. I'm asking you to publicly commit to reviewing due process concerns in immigration enforcement actions touching Wisconsin residents and to issue a formal opinion or public statement on the matter. I would appreciate knowing what concrete step your office plans to take and by when, so I can follow up. Thank you for your continued work on behalf of Wisconsinites. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear County Executive Agard, Thank you for speaking out on the Madison police-involved shooting. Your willingness to address hard issues publicly is exactly the kind of leadership Dane County needs, and I'm writing to ask you to bring that same directness to another urgent local issue: protecting our immigrant neighbors from mass detention and deportation. As County Executive, you control county resources and set county priorities. I'm asking you to publicly reaffirm and strengthen Dane County's non-cooperation policy, ensuring no county personnel, facilities, or resources are used to assist federal immigration detention or enforcement. Families in our own community are being separated right now, and this is a power you hold directly, no federal action required. I would welcome a public statement or directive on this within the coming weeks, and I'd like to follow up to hear how it's progressing. Thank you for considering this request. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Sheriff Barrett, My name is Elizabeth Nitz and I'm a constituent from 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575. I've followed recent coverage of your calls for sustained investment in the Dane County Sheriff's Office, and I respect the work of building department capacity to serve our community well. I'm writing to ask that the Sheriff's Office adopt and publicly confirm a clear policy that county jail staff will not honor ICE detainer requests or otherwise use county resources for federal immigration enforcement beyond what state law requires. This is within the Sheriff's own authority over jail operations and federal cooperation, and it directly affects immigrant families in our community, including here in the Town of Oregon, who need to trust that contact with local law enforcement will not lead to family separation or deportation. I would appreciate a response confirming your office's current detainer policy, and if none exists, your commitment to establishing and publishing one. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Johnson, My name is Elizabeth Nitz and I'm a constituent from 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575. I'm writing regarding reports that you are prepared to take over the Senate Budget Committee following Senator Graham's death. This is a significant position over federal spending, and I'm asking you to use it to oppose cuts to clean energy, conservation, and environmental justice funding, and to reject any fossil fuel rollback provisions in upcoming budget or appropriations bills. Clean energy and conservation investments matter directly to Wisconsin. They support rural and agricultural jobs, and they protect the land and water resources that communities in Dane County, including mine, depend on. Rolling back these programs through the budget process would have real, local consequences. As your Budget Committee role takes shape, and as related bills come to the floor for a vote, I am asking you to commit to protecting these investments rather than cutting them. I vote in Wisconsin, and I will be watching how this committee assignment and your future votes reflect that commitment. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Baldwin, Thank you for demanding the EPA drop its efforts to weaken PFAS drinking water protections, and for backing legislation to stop the dismantling of the Department of Education. These are exactly the kind of fights I want you leading. I'm writing to ask you to bring that same energy to climate and clean energy. As a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, you have direct leverage to block harmful riders and cuts to clean energy and environmental justice funding as spending bills move through the Senate. Statements are not enough right now. I'm asking you to publicly commit to using your committee seat, and if necessary holds and floor tools, to fight any effort to roll back clean energy investments or gut environmental protections. Please let me know what concrete, public step you or your staff are taking on this in the coming weeks. Wisconsin constituents like me are counting on you to use the full power of your office, not just to speak up but to act. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Representative Pocan, Thank you for cosponsoring the resolution recognizing the health and safety emergency created by the administration's fossil fuel and greenhouse gas directives. As your constituent, I appreciate that your record shows you understand the stakes of the climate crisis. I'm writing to ask you to translate that position into concrete action using the power you actually hold. As a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, you are positioned to oppose and block any funding bill or rider that cuts national park budgets, including the cuts and privatization threats facing Yosemite, or that undermines clean energy investment. As a co-founder of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, you can also lead a public sign-on letter pressing your colleagues to do the same. I would welcome a public, specific commitment from your office: opposition to any appropriations bill containing these cuts, and leadership on a sign-on letter in the coming weeks. Please let me know what commitment you can make and how I can help build support for it. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Governor Evers, Thank you for visiting the Hodag Solar Park and continuing to put a spotlight on Wisconsin's clean energy progress. As a constituent in the Town of Oregon, Dane County, I appreciate that your administration takes renewable development seriously. I'm writing to ask you to move beyond visibility events and use the tools your office actually controls. Please direct the DNR to expedite permitting and interconnection review for pending solar and wind projects statewide, and commit publicly to using your veto, including the partial veto, against any legislation that would weaken clean energy standards or obstruct renewable siting. Wisconsin needs concrete agency action and a firm veto commitment, not just tours and statements. I'd appreciate a response describing what specific DNR directive or veto commitment you're willing to make, and on what timeline. Thank you for considering this and for your continued leadership on climate. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Attorney General Kaul, I am writing as a constituent from 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575. Thank you for the work your office has done to stand up for Wisconsinites on environmental and democracy issues. I am writing to ask you to take a concrete next step. Your office has the power to join multistate lawsuits against unlawful federal rollbacks and to issue formal legal opinions, and you hold a seat on the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands. With federal cuts and privatization pressure threatening national parks and clean energy protections, I am asking you to commit publicly to joining any multistate legal action that defends these protections, and to use your Board of Commissioners of Public Lands seat to protect Wisconsin conservation funding. I would welcome a public statement on whether your office is currently evaluating such action, and a timeline for that commitment. Thank you for your leadership and for considering this request. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Johnson, I am writing as a constituent from your home state to ask you to oppose any cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and disability and senior benefits, including any weakened by the current Farm Bill negotiations. These programs are a lifeline for working families, seniors, and people with disabilities across Wisconsin, and cuts to them do not eliminate need, they simply push the cost onto local food banks, county human services, and hospitals in communities like mine in Dane County. As chair of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, you hold real oversight and floor power. I am asking you to use that power and commit to voting against any Farm Bill or spending package that cuts SNAP funding or adds new restrictions that reduce access to food assistance or Medicaid. I vote in every election and I am watching how you handle this vote. I would appreciate a response outlining your position on protecting SNAP and Medicaid funding. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Baldwin, Thank you for cosponsoring legislation to expand home and community based Medicaid services and for supporting the resolution against the CMS prior authorization rule. These are the kinds of concrete steps that make a real difference for families who depend on Medicaid. I am writing to ask you to go further and use your position on the Appropriations Committee to actively fight any cuts to Medicaid or SNAP in upcoming spending bills and the Farm Bill. A public statement of support is not enough. Please commit to opposing any appropriations package or Farm Bill that cuts SNAP funding or restricts Medicaid coverage, and to using holds, oversight letters, or forced floor votes if leadership attempts to advance such cuts. Families in Dane County, including seniors, children, and people with disabilities, rely on these programs, and I want to know you will fight for them with every tool your office has. I would appreciate a response describing the specific steps your office is taking on this in the coming weeks. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Representative Pocan, Thank you for the consistent support you've shown working families through your role on the Appropriations Committee and your leadership building the Congressional Progressive Caucus. I'm writing as a constituent to ask you to turn that support into a visible, near term action on the Farm Bill. Specifically, I'm asking you to use your position on Appropriations to publicly oppose any cuts or new restrictions to SNAP and Medicaid in the Farm Bill, and to lead or sign a formal letter to House leadership demanding full nutrition assistance funding. A floor statement or a private assurance is not enough. Families in the Town of Oregon and across Dane County depend on these programs, and your office has real leverage to stop cuts before they reach a vote. I would appreciate knowing whether you will commit to this action and a timeline for it, so I can follow up and share the update with neighbors who are watching this issue closely. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Governor Evers, My name is Elizabeth Nitz and I'm a constituent from 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575. Thank you for the stands you've already taken to protect working families in Wisconsin. I'm writing to ask you to take a concrete, public step to protect Medicaid, SNAP, and senior and disability benefits from cuts in any upcoming budget or legislation. You hold one of the strongest partial veto powers of any governor in the country, along with direct authority over DHS. I'm asking you to publicly commit to using that veto power against any provision that would cut or restrict these programs, and to direct DHS to proactively safeguard access for Wisconsin residents, including families here in the Town of Oregon and across Dane County. A clear, public commitment now would reassure families who rely on these programs and put the legislature on notice. I would appreciate knowing whether you intend to make such a commitment, and if there is a statement or timeline I can follow. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Governor Evers, I am writing as a constituent to thank you for your support of Wisconsin's conservation legacy, and to urge you to take direct, public action to save the Knowles Nelson Stewardship Program. Its bonding authority has been allowed to shrink, and the Joint Finance Committee has repeatedly used anonymous holds to block individual land and habitat purchases that Wisconsinites rely on. Your office holds real power here. Through the budget process, your veto authority including Wisconsin's unusually strong partial veto, and your direction of the DNR, you can push for full reauthorization and funding of Knowles Nelson and put public pressure on JFC to end its anonymous pocket vetoes. I am asking you to make this a visible, named priority, not just a line item, so that legislators blocking these purchases are held accountable. Knowles Nelson funds the parks, trails, and habitat that matter directly to Dane County and to families like mine. I would welcome a public commitment from your office on next steps and a timeline. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Attorney General Kaul, I am writing as a constituent to thank you for the work your office has done pushing back against unlawful federal overreach, and to ask you to bring that same scrutiny to a problem here at home: the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee is using anonymous "pocket veto" holds to block individual land conservation purchases under the Warren Knowles-Gaylord Nelson Stewardship Program, whose bonding authority has itself been allowed to lapse and shrink. Your office has the authority to issue a formal legal opinion on whether anonymous, unaccountable holds by individual JFC members are a lawful use of legislative power, and you also serve on the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, giving you direct standing on stewardship funding. Knowles-Nelson supports the parks, trails, and habitat that matter to Dane County families like mine, and it deserves a transparent, accountable process rather than anonymous blocks. I would appreciate a public commitment from your office to examine the legality of these anonymous JFC holds and to make your findings public. Thank you for your continued leadership on behalf of Wisconsin residents. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Secretary Godlewski, Thank you for your continued service to Wisconsin and for your work on the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands. I'm writing as a constituent to ask you to use that platform to push for full reauthorization and funding of the Warren Knowles-Gaylord Nelson Stewardship Program. The Stewardship Program has been a cornerstone of Wisconsin conservation, funding public land, parks, trails, and wildlife habitat statewide, including here in Dane County. Its bonding authority has been allowed to shrink, and the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee has repeatedly used anonymous holds to quietly block individual conservation purchases without public accountability. I believe your office, through your BCPL seat and your statewide voice, is well positioned to press for full reauthorization of the program and an end to these anonymous JFC holds. I would welcome a public statement from your office on this issue, and I'd appreciate knowing what concrete steps you plan to take and by when. I'm glad to follow up to hear how this progresses. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Treasurer Leiber, My name is Elizabeth Nitz, and I am a constituent living at 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575, in the Town of Oregon, Dane County. I'm writing to ask you to use your position as chair of the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands to advocate for full reauthorization and funding of the Warren Knowles-Gaylord Nelson Stewardship Program, and to publicly call for an end to the Joint Finance Committee's practice of anonymous holds on individual conservation purchases. Knowles-Nelson has been Wisconsin's most effective tool for protecting public land, parks, trails, and wildlife habitat for over thirty years, but its bonding authority has been allowed to shrink and lapse, and anonymous JFC holds have blocked specific, vetted land purchases without public accountability. As chair of the BCPL, which manages roughly 77,000 acres of public trust land and the Common School Fund, you have both direct authority over land management decisions and a credible public voice on this issue. I am asking you to commit publicly to supporting full funding of Knowles-Nelson and to calling for the elimination of anonymous holds in the budget process. Transparent, well-funded conservation policy benefits every community in this state, including mine. I would appreciate knowing where you stand and what steps you are willing to take. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Senator Marklein, I'm writing as a constituent to urge you, in your role as co-chair of the Joint Finance Committee, to fully reauthorize and fund the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program and to end the anonymous holds that have blocked individual conservation land purchases. This program has supported parks, trails, and habitat across Wisconsin, including here in Dane County, and its bonding authority should not be allowed to lapse or shrink. The anonymous hold process denies voters a clear picture of who is stopping specific conservation projects and why. As JFC co-chair, you have direct authority over whether Stewardship is reauthorized and whether that practice continues. I'm asking you to bring full reauthorization to a vote and to end anonymous holds on conservation funding. I would appreciate knowing your position on this issue. As a constituent and voter, I'll be following how the committee handles Knowles-Nelson this session. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575

Dear Representative Jacobson, Thank you for being an ally to land conservation in Wisconsin. I am a constituent in the Town of Oregon, and I am writing to ask you to move from support to leadership on the Warren Knowles-Gaylord Nelson Stewardship Program. Specifically, I ask that you co-sponsor and publicly champion full reauthorization and funding of Knowles-Nelson, and that you press to end the anonymous Joint Finance Committee holds that block individual conservation purchases without any member having to put their name on the objection. The program's bonding authority has been allowed to lapse and shrink, and that decline is felt locally in our county parks, trail corridors, and stream greenways around Oregon that residents use year round. You live in this community and are running to represent Senate District 17, which makes you the natural person to carry this fight. I would appreciate a commitment to co-sponsor the reauthorization bill and to seek a recorded floor vote so every legislator's position is on the record. Constituents will have your back if you push harder on this. Sincerely, Elizabeth Nitz 6214 Knollwood Dr, Oregon, WI 53575
