Get StartedWe must also honor and consider basic voting rights for all Wisconsinites. Convicted felons, once out of jail but still on paper, are prohibited from voting in Wisconsin. Learn more
Conditions of poverty should not be excerbated by opprressive law enforcement driven by revenue generation or the War on Drugs. One of the best ways to fight poverty is to keep families intact and young people educated and employed, not incarcerated. Learn more
I will also support and promote expungement of criminal records of those only guilty of victimless crimes. Learn more
I will also support and promote expungement of criminal records of those only guilty of victimless crimes. Learn more
As Governor I will immediately convene a Pardon Advisory Board, comprised of legal advisors and community members, and begin pardoning those incarcerated for victimless crimes. Learn more
We must roll back mandatory minimum sentencing laws, so that judges are free to determine the just sentence for a particular situation. Learn more
None of us are truly free until we are all free, and it is my intent as Governor to insist on a system that treats those most historically oppressed and incarcerated the same as everyone else- with justice and parity. Learn more
We must not block juries from being aware of jury nullification. Juries do have the right to return a verdict of not guilty, not based on evidence, but based on an unjust law. Learn more
And to those currently serving in the Wisconsin National Guard, I promise this: I will RESIST sending you to unconstitutional wars and political boondoggles! Learn more
We must provide as many tools as necessary (public, private, or otherwise), INCLUDING medical marijuana, to ensure Wisconsin veterans are given the best options for care. Learn more
Referencing our military service isn't the same as glorifying it. We must keep our promises to veterans, giving them choices for medical care, especially mental health care. Learn more
I will oppose, wherever possible the Federal War on Drugs and any attempts to subvert state laws. Learn more
We must end the racist War on Drugs in Wisconsin, by first, legalizing recreational marijuana. Learn more
We must also decriminalize other drugs and treat drug addiction as a medical problem and move users into treatment programs and out of jails. Learn more
We reject the idea that it is the duty of government to create or protect jobs. A market economy free of unreasonable State interference and crony capitalism will produce more jobs than any misguided government program. Learn more
We oppose any State licensing or fees that have the effect of producing barriers to entering markets or professions for entrepreneurs or workers. Learn more
We oppose all efforts of State government to pick winners and losers in the economy. We oppose handouts and bailouts to businesses; we will dismantle the WEDC entirely. Learn more
Rather than focusing on taxpayer giveaways and corporate welfare, Wisconsin should create a business environment with a level playing field that rewards innovation, quality services and goods, and hard work. Learn more
By eliminating regulatory hurdles, anti-competitive licensing, and excessive taxation, we can create new jobs and new business opportunities in every community. Learn more
Grow Wisconsin from within. Too much attention is devoted to overseas trade missions or competing with other states to land large corporate expansions; not enough attention is devoted to helping existing Wisconsin businesses grow. Learn more
We will advocate for free international trade because free trade directly serves all of Wisconsin’s industries best. Do you like this page? Sign in with Facebook Sign in with Twitter Sign in with Email DONATE Learn more
We will review all levels of State regulation with an eye to eliminate or reform any that create an unreasonable barrier to business creation or expansion. Learn more
We support maintenance of the State University System but recognize that an education model that burdens students with crippling debt, supports academic pursuits of questionable utility to the public, tolerates a lack of true academic freedom or free expression on campus, or governs with a disregard for the interests of taxpayers, is a system in need of significant reform. Learn more
For public education, local communities should retain maximum control over curriculum, policy, and funding. The role of the State should be limited to funding assistance for districts with limited tax bases, such as rural school districts. Learn more
Education should never be the exclusive domain of the State. Students and parents should have the right to choose any number of options for education, whether those are public, private, or to opt out of any system altogether. Learn more
We support maintenance of the State Technical Training system and encourage a greater integration of that system with Wisconsin businesses and industries to ensure that students are entering the job market with skills that match current employer needs. Learn more
Public schools should be free to explore any education model or innovation without interference from above. We believe that the long established industrial model of public education is outmoded and should be discarded in favor of other approaches that have a proven track record of success. We encourage exploration of public/private partnerships in K-12 education. Learn more
Any revenues raised to pay for K-12 education should be controlled by parents, who may use the funds for public schools, private schools, or home schooling. Learn more
Increase local control. Local municipalities, counties, and school boards ought to be as free as possible to pursue the priorities of their communities without interference from the State. State regulation ought to be limited to those things that only the State should do. Learn more
All unfunded mandates should be eliminated. Learn more
The State of Wisconsin should end all support for the Federal Healthcare Marketplace and resist wherever possible any expansion of a Federal role in health care. Learn more
Housing is a purely local issue and local solutions to unique local housing problems should be encouraged. The State of Wisconsin should not impose itself on localities through regulation or funding. Learn more
Ultimately, individuals and families are responsible for caring for themselves. The first response of State government should always be not only to encourage personal responsibility, but to create conditions where personal responsibility is easier and preferable to government intervention. Learn more
We set the goal of moving funding of assistance programs from public to private. Learn more
Eliminate the income tax. Unchecked growth of government is fueled by overly broad taxation. Tax cuts alone are not enough to permanently reduce the role of government in people’s lives, taxation itself should be limited as much as possible. Learn more
We propose elimination of the State income tax, which will directly benefit many small business owners and self-employed citizens Learn more
Wisconsin should follow the lead of Texas, South Dakota, Florida, and Washington State and find ways to fund operations without an income tax. Learn more
