Cindy served as a legislative aide for Senator Barbara Lorman and later for newly elected Senator Scott Fitzgerald. She researched legislative policy, managed constituent relations, worked with state agencies and oversaw daily office operations. Over the years, Cindy helped plan legislative events such as Senate inaugurations, Senate reunions, Fallen Soldier resolutions and receptions, and the Capitol's 100th Birthday Celebration. Cindy has enjoyed helping the 13th Senate District, working with constituents from all backgrounds and passing legislation to address common sense issues impacting Wisconsin residents. Cindy appreciated the unpredictable nature of her job, from women protesting the right to go topless, circus elephants in the rotunda, Capitol restoration, Apartheid sit-ins, and Act 10 protests. Cindy earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from UW-Madison and a Baccalaureate Paralegal Degree and she is a member of the Madison Paralegal Association, UW-Madison Alumni Association, Wisconsin Women's Council, Historical Society Alumni Committee, State Capitol Ornament Committee, and the Governor's Commission on Celebrating the 100th Birthday of the State Capitol.
