| Collapse all
- Politicians have sold out the American people to corporations and their billionaire donors. I am running as a firefighter and father of four to continue being a public servant and represent the great people of WI-06. Breaking up monopolies across industries that manipulate markets, price gouge consumers and producers, and crush the American dream. Making housing more affordable by expanding the supply, cutting back on regulations limiting housing development, and banning investment firms from buying single family homes and apartments. Making sure data centers not only pay for their own electricity and water use, but also invest in the energy grids that they utilize. These are all policy goals at the forefront of this campaign
- As a firefighter and HAZMAT specialist public safety is something I take very seriously. Politicians often speak about public safety and take pictures with our first responders, but when it comes time to make sure FEMA funding is disbursed on time they are no where to be found. I am running to make sure there is local input in our public safety work. Additionally, Monopolies have taken over the production of emergency service equipment price-gouging the tax payer and slowing production. This means we waste millions in tax payer dollars on equipment and then often have to wait years to get these life saving machines.
- My campaign is rooted in anti-corruption. For too long politicians from both parties have been enriching themselves through insider trading, crypto currency schemes, and major lobbying deals once they leave office. I would ban any trading of stocks or crypto currency by all elected officials, push for term limits to be enacted, and fight to ban corporate pac money from our elections.
