Jordan Zadra was a 2016 Republican candidate for District 79 of the Wisconsin State Assembly.

Campaign themes

2016

Zadra's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Campaign finance

  • Excerpt: "The need to clean up our elections is one that individuals all over the political spectrum, aside from the politicians themselves, are beginning to realize. My reforms will appeal to the liberal supporters of Bernie Sanders who are tired of corporate influence in politics and moderate conservatives who see their lives taking a backseat to special interests."

Education

  • Excerpt: "Education makes up the largest portion of Wisconsin's state budget. Our education dollars are perhaps our greatest tool for shaping the landscape of the state economy. Unfortunately, current government leaders are asking too much of our system. We need to let K-12 educators in public schools have the same flexibility as their private and charter school counterparts, without eliminating those other very viable options."

Prisons and criminal justice

  • Excerpt: "We are paying almost $30,000 per year to imprison one person in a medium-security prison, and this spending is only worth it if we are keeping truly dangerous people out of open society. We cannot afford to imprison people who are not a danger to others. If we reduced spending to Iowa levels, we would save about $600M per year."
