Campaign themes
2014
Stackowitz's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]
Impacting Social Issues & the Education Debate
- Excerpt: "Eugenie has a passion for helping families in Wisconsin invest in their future and currently works for a wealth management firm. Through her stance on education, her honest attitude toward social and political issues, her platform is based on helping the community and listening to their problems. Eugenie hopes that people will choose to vote for the person running for office not party affiliation."
Playing by the Rules
- Excerpt: "Eugenie has entered the political arena believing that Wisconsin State's Representative should comply with the laws their constituents follow. At the very minimum, they should at least pay their federal, state and property taxes. Eugenie believes that people who constantly fail to obey the law should not be able to pass rules and regulations on others."
Building Trust
- Excerpt: "Eugenie is committed to being honest. She is always direct and answers every question to the best of her ability. If she does not know the answer to a specific question, she will say so, research the question and respond in a timely manner. Eugenie wants to hold monthly town hall meetings with her constituents to let them know what is going on at the Wisconsin State Capitol. She wants to hear what they have to say and to hear what their concerns are. Eugenie has grown tired of calling or writing to her representatives and getting stock letters which have absolutely nothing to do with the question or concern she addressed, or simply getting no reply at all. Anyone who phones or writes to her should expect a call or written reply back in a prompt manner."
Addressing the Issues
- Excerpt: "Many people are concerned about the Common Core State Standards in education. Having a love of math, Eugenie does not quite understand why someone would want to answer a problem in 12 steps when you can get the answer in two. She is glad that Governor Walker is calling on the legislature to repeal Common Core and replace it “with standards set by the people of Wisconsin.” Eugenie also supports educational choice for all of Wisconsin’s children and would love to see the Wisconsin parental choice program increased."
