Homegrown Badger
A Wisconsin native, Kelda loves our beautiful state - our people, our natural places and waterways, our progressive heritage, and our midwestern friendliness. Her passion for public service was inspired and encouraged by her parents, who have spent their careers in social work, environmental law, and public safety.
Mother
Kelda and her partner Dan are raising five wonderful, energetic kids together - Kelda's two young adult stepdaughters and their three little ones. Kelda's commitment to Wisconsin's future is personal - and she knows a thing or two about managing chaos. Dan is a midwestern Spotted Cow lover and Packers fan who was mistakenly born in Virginia. He works at American Family Insurance but in previous lives was a strategy consultant, fishing software entrepreneur, and lefty pitcher for the Orioles organization.
Listener
As our State Senator, Kelda hold regular listening sessions, constituent meetings, and informal "Coffee with Kelda" gatherings. She has always been driven by serving constituents, and that starts with listening closely to what they need. To win her first campaign for Assembly, Kelda knocked on 20,252 doors. Whether at the grocery store or on a Madison Metro bus, some of Kelda's best ideas come listening to and caring about her constituents.
Fearless Truth Teller
Kelda has never been afraid to tell difficult truths, even when it's unpopular. A longtime board member of Common Cause, Kelda has spoken out about the corrosive influence of big money in politics and authored legislation against Citizens United. Kelda has stood up to leaders in her own party, on issues such as advocating for non-partisan redistricting. When Republicans tried to ram through Act 10 without debate, Kelda's passionate speech stopped them and gave the public more time to learn about Walker's attack on workers.
