Campaign themes

2016

Shrader's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Education

  • Excerpt: "The best investment we can make for our future is an investment in our children. Strong public schools are the backbone of our community and ensure our kids have the skills and experience they need to succeed as adults."

Rural economy

  • Excerpt: "Wisconsin ranks in the bottom third of states for private sector job creation and we are one of the worst in the country in entrepreneurship and small business development. We can do better."

Infrastructure

  • Excerpt: "Investing in our overall infrastructure creates good family-supporting jobs, ensures safe roadways, and delivers reliable broadband internet which is increasingly important for our local economic development."

Healthcare

  • Excerpt: "Instead of playing Presidential politics, Governor Walker and legislative Republicans need to accept the federal Medicaid expansion dollars which will save our state hundreds of millions of dollars, avoiding the debilitating cuts to our UW System and public schools, while also providing healthcare coverage for an additional 80,000 Wisconsinites."

Veterans

  • Excerpt: "As a Marine, ensuring our veterans have access to the resources they have earned is one of my top priorities."
