Earlier this year, we spoke with Representative Jimmy Anderson about his request to Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos for reasonable accommodations related to his disability. For today’s episode, Ali is joined in the studio by Rep. Anderson to get updates about his ongoing fight for accommodations and his work in the state legislature.
Representative Jimmy Anderson was first elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2016, where he serves as representative to the 47th Assembly District. He is known for his work championing health care access and his contributions to the legislature’s suicide prevention task force.
