Humbled and grateful beyond words. Today in Madison I received the Michael J. Falconer Award for Distinguished Service from the Governor’s Committee for People With Disabilities.

This award means so much because of the man it honors — someone who lived with a disability and never stopped fighting for better access, dignity, and opportunity for everyone.

I’m standing on the shoulders of so many advocates who came before me, and I’m more committed than ever to keep pushing forward. There’s still so much work to do. Thank you to the Governor’s Committee, my aides, and every person who’s been part of this journey. The fight continues.

While I was in Madison today I had the pleasure of stopping by Lieutenant Governor Sarah Rodriguez‘s office to discuss disability issues. Her time in politics is coming to a close in January but she will be finishing her PhD soon and is an amazing ally to the disability community.

It was an honor to receive the Michael J Falconer Award for Distinguished Service from the Governor’s Committee for People With Disabilities today. I am truly humbled. There is so much more work to do.

Nobody wants to elect a politician, whose plans are going to take decades to have an impact on your life. Francesca Hong gets it.

Here’s another video of my time with Francesca Hong on Monday. Does anybody even use this app anymore? Because it doesn’t seem like anybody sees my posts.

Francesca Hong walked a mile in the country with me on Monday. I need to edit the video because I was swearing way too much and she didn’t have a microphone on. I

I’m headed to my starting spot. The live stream will start no later than 10:30 AM central time. Hopefully I can get going by 10. 

I dare this website to give me 100 likes for this.

I only have two full days left until I get to Madison on my yearly awareness campaign. Tomorrow I will be joined by Francesca Hong at 12 noon central time. I will post a link to the live stream in the morning. 

It’s kind of weird that when I post my real life advocacy on here it gets less attention than when I do on Twitter. I know I have way less followers here, but I feel like at least 20 people should have liked this.

I’m excited for tomorrow! @FrancescaHongWI will be joining me on the Drive for Change around noon somewhere in the Wisconsin countryside to talk about the recent attacks against the disability community from the federal government. I will post links to the live stream in the morning.

I can’t believe it’s 2026 and I’m organizing a grassroots campaign to protect the rights that these activists FINALLY got the federal government to sign into law 36 years ago. These are our pioneers and heroes👇 so if you think we’re going away easy you’d better think again.

36 years after the ADA was signed and I’m still fighting just to make the government keep their promise. The ADA was the starting line — not the finish line. #DriveForChange #ADA36 #DisabilityRights #MedicaidCuts #Olmstead
