Jeff Peterson was a 2016 Democratic candidate for District 28 of the Wisconsin State Assembly.[1]

Campaign themes

2016

Peterson's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]

Community rights

  • Excerpt: "I believe that local governments, being closer to the people who elect them, know what’s best for their constituents. Local governments should be given wide latitude to make their own decisions on issues like zoning, taxes and education."

Energy independence

  • Excerpt: "I will work to move Wisconsin toward energy independence while also making renewable energy options more available to businesses and homeowners."

Good government

  • Excerpt: "If elected to the Assembly I will work to reverse the harm that Republicans have done to our state. I will be outspoken in my opposition to any new legislation that would further erode democracy in Wisconsin."

Jobs and economy

  • Excerpt: "Cutting taxes has not had the stimulating effect on Wisconsin’s economy that Republicans predicted. When those tax cuts are financed by cuts to our education system – Walker has already cut $800 million from the University of Wisconsin and close to $1 billion from K-12 schools – the problem is only compounded."

Public education

  • Excerpt: "If elected to the Assembly, I will work to restore lost funding to our public schools. I will oppose the use of taxpayer dollars to fund private voucher schools."
