Wisconsin's 8th District State Representative is Sylvia Ortiz-Velez. As a legislator, she enjoys talking to the people she serves and addressing their concerns.
In her Know Your Electeds interview, Ortiz-Velez shares that her top legislative achievement was working to pass a law that legalized low-cost fentanyl testing strips to help prevent overdoses.
In an ideal day, Ortiz-Velez would meet with residents of her district. Her hidden talent is impressionist painting.
