Campaign themes

2010

Litjens' website highlighted the following campaign themes:

  • Spending - "Cut Spending! Wisconsin cannot spend more money than we acquire. "
  • Taxes -"In Wisconsin we are being taxed more and more each year with less to show for it. Property taxes alone are the 8th highest in the country."
  • Jobs/Economy - "Wisconsin must reduce the tax and regulatory burden put on businesses so they can flourish and start hiring again! "
  • Life - "I believe it's a baby. It is our moral duty to protect those who cannot protect themselves. I am pro-life."
  • 2nd Amendment - "I support allowing Concealed Carry permits in Wisconsin. We are one of only three states in the Country without that right."
  • Healthcare - "We do not have a healthcare crisis, we have an affordability issue. "
  • Education - "We need to reinstate local control of our schools, give school boards help in negotiating contracts to bring salaries and benefits in line with the private sector and get back to educating our children so that they can grow to become productive members of our society."
  • Immigration - "Everyone is welcome in our country, they must follow the rules to get here. "
  • Government - "perhaps if our representatives spent more time at home and less time dreaming up ways to spend more money, our state would be in a much better financial situation today. "[3]
