Government Waste
- Excerpt: "Brian will fight government waste and fraud by being a good, responsible steward of the money our taxpayers work hard to earn."
Education
- Excerpt: "Brian will work to empower our schools and keep education between our teachers and parents, instead of in the hands of government bureaucrats."
Wisconsin

I am running for State Senate because I want to create the same opportunities for success and prosperity for my children that I had growing up here. Something has to be done to change the direction of this country, and I know I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE and get Wisconsin on the right track."
