Our Mission
Our goals
01
Property taxes in the 55th District keep climbing not because local leaders are spending recklessly, but because the state keeps shifting the burden onto homeowners instead of fixing how schools and other services get funded. Alex has watched this play out from the school board, from signing notices, cutting programs and referendums, and she knows the fix has to come from Madison. She’s running to change the formulate so that families like yours stop paying the price for a problem they didn’t create.
Fix the Funding
02
Lower the Pressure
Utility bills. Prescription costs. Health insurance that gets more expensive every year as insurers leave the market and hospitals close. These aren’t abstract policy issues, they’re the things keeping people int his district up at night. Alex isn’t interested in talking points. She’s interested in results. Working with the Public Service Commission, addressing healthcare access head o, and making sure the 55th District has a seat at the table when those decisions get made.
03
Too many politicians reduce complicated problems to simple slogans and then blame the wrong people when nothing gets fixed. Alex won’t do that. She’s a translator by nature, someone who moves between how systems actually work and what that means for real families. And she believes voters deserve straight answers, not performance. If she doesn’t know something, she will say so. And then she’ll figure it out.
Tell the Truth
How it all started
Alex Corrigan didn’t grow up expecting to run for office. She grew up watching her dad work hard so she could have options he didn’t, and learned early that knowing how systems work matters most when the people you love are depending on them.
She moved to the Fox Valley with her husband Danny when he took a job here. They’d figure they’d see how it went. That was eleven years ago. They’re not going anywhere. not because they have to stay, but because this is home.
Alex is a former attorney and social worker, a current school board member, and a full-time mom of four kids who frequently attend campaign events, if and when they want to. It’s important to Alex that her kids see what public service can look like. Her household also includes chickens, ducks, cats, dogs and rabbits, and at least three abandoned ice teas at any given moment. It’s a fully and happy chaos she wouldn’t trade.
She decided to run because she kept watching the same problems grind down the same families, year after year, and kept realizing the decisions driving those problems weren’t being made locally. They were being made in Madison, by people who didn’t seem to feel the weight of them.
She’s not running because she has it all figured out. She’s running because she knows how to listen, how to dig in, and how to do the unglamorous work of actually fixing things. that’s what she’s done her whole career. That’s what she’ll do in Madison.
More than anything, Alex hopes people leave conversations with her feeling listened to, respected, and reminded that we have more in common as neighbors than we sometimes think.
Rooted here. Here to work.
