Campaign themes
2016
Utesch's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Water
- Excerpt: "Water is a basic human right. Clean, abundant water must be accessible for all citizens in the 1st Assembly District, and safeguards and protections must be put into place to secure that right."
Local and open government
- Excerpt: "We need to restore local control to our communities. The local people know what is most important, and what the needs and concerns are where they live. Ideas generated elsewhere do not represent the taxpaying citizens locally, and may not be the best course of action and direction for our communities."
Education and jobs
- Excerpt: "A good education is the foundation for future successes and the probability of continued education fostering a love for lifelong learning and engagement. We must remember that the public school system was created to provide an educated electorate. Education is the cornerstone of our democracy."
Tourism
- Excerpt: "While Door County’s tourism is booming — ranking eighth in the state in visitor spending in 2015, and collecting 332.8 million dollars, Kewaunee County was one of five counties whose tourism dollars went down in 2015. Vibrant communities and tourism dollars are important to the economy of NE Wisconsin."
