I believe it is important to bring federal money back to Wisconsin.  Government procurement provides an opportunity to grow your business and create jobs.  However the process of obtaining a government contract can be complicated.

If you have questions or need assistance with a specific request, I invite you to contact me in my Milwaukee Senate office.
