My resignation letter is attached, and I hope you’ll take a moment to read it. I realize it may have ruffled some feathers—and that’s okay. I’m not one to shy away from difficult conversations, and I’m not interested in wasting anyone’s time. If I didn’t believe every part of it needed saying, I wouldn’t have written it.

In Western Wisconsin, the fight against the opioid crisis and drug-related overdoses remains a critical concern. As our community continues to address this challenge...

Not all grief is the same, and the aftermath of an overdose is a deeply challenging and emotional time. This tragedy becomes a “before and after” moment in your life. The shock, pain, and sense of loss can be overwhelming…

My hope is that sharing this letter can help keep the conversation going or maybe spark some new ones. I hope everyone who reads this will feel their hearts soften a bit towards those who have struggled and maybe they’ll even choose to learn more, get involved, and help save some lives.
