Ballotpedia survey responses

Joe Lavrenz did not complete Ballotpedia's 2024 Candidate Connection survey.
2022
Joe Lavrenz completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Lavrenz's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I will fight to protect our democracy. The legislature currently is working to undermine election results and make it harder to vote under the guise of election security.
- I will fight to protect people rights. We've already seen the supreme court take away abortion rights which triggered a law from the 1800's here in Wisconsin. I would work to protect a women's right to choose and protect our other constitutional rights.
- I will work to protect our public services including police, infrastructure and our public schools. There are reforms that can be done to make each more effective but they each need proper funding that they're currently not getting.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
