Campaign themes
2016
Braun's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Guns
- Excerpt: "Every firearm purchase should be accompanied with a comprehensive background check and mental health screening."
Women's rights and sexual education
- Excerpt: "Women within this state and the nation have a right to equal pay for equal work. Wisconsin should be leading the way to promote equal pay."
Support local government and local control
- Excerpt: "I strongly believe that municipalities, school boards, and counties should retain their ability to control tax revenue, receive more state funding for shared revenue services, and state government should not dictate local government structure for political reasons."
Accountability in government
- Excerpt: "The Government Accountability board was established in the early 2000s as a safe guard on Wisconsin elections. The current leadership in Madison has gutted this nonpartisan board and stacked campaign finance laws in their favor. I strongly disagree with these changes and I will work to ensure that both sides of the aisle are held accountable."
Infrastructure and public health/safety
- Excerpt: "It is time Wisconsin started investing in infrastructure again. According to a 2015 report done by the department of transportation 71% of Wisconsin’s roads are in dire need of repair."
