  • Energy - "I am convinced that we must consider all known forms of energy to continue providing affordable, reliable energy to the constituents of the 88th Assembly District and all of Wisconsin. That means we must adopt better policies for conservation, the production and use of bio fuels, and renewable energy."
  • Economy - "I will seek to ensure that budget dollars are used to stimulate the economy through job creation here in Wisconsin. I will require accountability for that job creation. This should be a requirement but it is not."
  • Education - "I strongly support our continued commitment to our local public schools, state technical and university systems. I recognize that the future of Wisconsin is still rooted in the education of our residents and their preparation to take part in the new economy."
  • Environment - "Balancing preservation of our resources for future generations while using those resources for recreation, tourism, and economic growth is a difficult challenge that we must meet."
  • h(E)alth Care - "One of the main reasons I ran for office was to find a way to deliver health care to the one in ten residents of Wisconsin lacking coverage."
