Jonathon Hansen completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Hansen's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Ending gerrymandering: The Wisconsin Legislature district maps are being redrawn in 2021, and I will introduce legislation to create a nonpartisan redistricting process. Most legislative districts are currently not competitive, and legislators are often only concerned with appealing to their narrow political bases. By creating more competitive districts, we will be able to promote more moderation and bipartisanship in state government.
- Fighting for tougher environmental policy: When elected, I plan to introduce policies that hold polluters accountable and protect our environment. Throughout the district, access to clean drinking water has been severely limited. I will fight to clean up water contamination from dangerous chemicals, lead pipes, and agricultural runoff so that all Wisconsin residents can have access to clean drinking water.
- Promoting state and local economic development: Protecting small businesses and family farms are crucial to a thriving local economy. One of my top priorities will be creating good-paying jobs right here in Northeast Wisconsin. The engine of this job creation should be small businesses. Rather than giving $4 billion to a foreign corporation, like Foxconn, with a long history of breaking promises, we should be directing state economic development assistance to invest in locally-owned businesses, startup companies, and family farms. I also support policies that will ban taxpayer dollars from going to companies that ship jobs out of Wisconsin, and require American-made materials to be used in all state construction projects.
Wisconsin is rated as one of the highest states for racial disparity and inequality. We need to listen to the experiences of the communities who are affected by racial injustice and engage in meaningful dialogue to guide policymaking at the local and state level. I will also fight to create economic opportunities for all by raising the minimum wage, breaking down barriers to receiving a high-quality education, and prioritizing rehabilitation services over excessive jail sentences in order to reduce recidivism rates.
