MOST PROGRESSIVE & EXPERIENCED CANDIDATE.
Juliana served two terms as a Madison Alder, serving her constituents by writing and passing legislation to lower housing costs.
Juliana worked as a legislative liaison for WHEDA, to advocate for more affordable housing from the federal government.
Juliana most recently served as the Chief of Staff for a progressive state assembly member.
“I’m running because a savings account shouldn’t be a luxury.”
Juliana comes from a working-class family. Her mom was a nurse, and her dad is a chef, veteran, and retired restaurant owner. After losing her mom to cancer at nine and her family home during the recession, they moved from Illinois to Beloit, where her dad opened Mama Lou’s Shrimp and BBQ Smokehouse. By 15, Juliana was co-managing the business while her dad battled heart failure. Her family later moved to Madison so he could be closer to the VA, where she graduated from Madison West High School.
Her experiences shaped her commitment to community. In 2020, she co-founded the Madison BIPOC Coalition during the Black Lives Matter movement.

HOW WE FIGHT MATTERS.
Juliana knows it’s not enough for politicians to write strongly-worded letters; they need to organize and leverage the power of the people to get things done.
Juliana is an organizer, and she plans to continue organizing in Madison and across Wisconsin, once elected, to get progressive legislation passed into law.
“We need to lower our property taxes and rent, expand BadgerCare, and raise our wages. I won’t stop organizing until we get the legislation passed, even if that means holding town halls and organizing in red districts.”
