2022
Mark Scheffler completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2021. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Scheffler's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Mark has a bold plan to end partisan gerrymandering, protecting both Democratic and Republican voters. He supports a weighted voting system in the Wisconsin Senate and Assembly, ensuring that either party’s share of the state-wide vote perfectly equals their share of power.
- Mark’s plan to support cleaner large-scale dairy production while helping small to mid-sized farmers transition to more sustainable agriculture is a breath of fresh air for everyone. It would engage the power of the Wisconsin economy to create the world’s largest agricultural bioproduct market which would make Wisconsin carbon neutral in 15 years.
- We collect taxes today the same way we did in 1913, and it’s time for bold grassroots reform. Mark supports the Automated Payments Transfer Tax (APT Tax) which would replace all income and capital gains tax with a tiny fee whenever money changes hands (as low as 25¢ per $100). It would ensure that everyone pays their fair share based on their personal economic impact, and would make April 15th just another wonderful day in our State.
