| Collapse all
- Jobs and the Economy In my thirty plus years of experience in the private sector, I have seen what high taxes and regulation can do to businesses and families in the Fox Valley. That is why I believe the money should be in your hands, not in the hands of unelected bureaucrats in Madison. It is your money, and you know best how to spend it. When money is back in the hands of the folks in the Fox Valley, we see the growth of business and good paying jobs for all. • Reduce taxes to put money back in your hands. • Cut regulation on businesses and entrepreneurs to allow for high quality jobs. • Keep businesses and companies in the Fox Valley.
- Education Every parent has a right to know and decide where and what is being taught to their child. As a parent and grandparent, I know that nothing is as important as my kids and grandchildren. I want them to be as successful as possible, which starts with a high-quality education. However, schools have become harbors of liberal policies and pet-projects. Parents should know and have a say in what is being taught to their children. And when a district is not meeting the needs of the child, the money should follow the student. This free market approach to education will increase the quality of education for everyone. • Give parents a right to know and have a say in their children's education. • Ensure that money follows the stude
- Election Integrity After the last election, it is clear that there are flaws in our election system. Confidence in our election system is central to a successful and legitimate government. I believe we need to take steps to renew our faith in our election system. We need to make sure everyone that is voting is allowed to vote and legally voted. • Clean up voter rolls statewide. • Regulate ballot drop boxes to prevent ballot harvesting. • Increase transparency in the counting process.
