Paul Hambleton completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Hambleton's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Public schools are the heart of any community. They educate our young people, employ our friends and neighbors, and attract businesses and families, which spurs economic growth. As a former Baldwin-Woodville teacher and a state-level academic leader, Paul knows how critically important funding is to public school success. As your state senator, he will fight to fully fund public schools, so they can attract high-quality teachers and ensure every child reaches their full potential.
- Rural Wisconsin’s economy depends on small businesses and local industry. Tax cuts to multinational corporations like Foxconn drain our resources and hurt our communities. As your state senator, Paul will fight against corporate tax incentives and support the real job creators—small businesses. To compete in the 21st century and beyond, we need reliable, fast internet and digital technology. Paul will expand broadband access to support rural businesses and remote workers. With upgraded infrastructure, we can attract and retain young people in our area, ensuring a stable economy for decades to come.
- Paul will fight to restore women's right to reproductive health care in Wisconsin. Our rural healthcare system is in crisis. Hospitals are closing, elder care is expensive, and mental health providers are few and far between. It’s time to expand Medicaid, which will lower costs for low-income people and bring in millions of dollars from the federal matching program. As your state senator, Paul will fight for Medicaid expansion, which will revive our ailing healthcare system and create new jobs and opportunities with our hospitals, nursing homes, and mental health providers.
As your state senator, Paul will support small family farms, regulate corporate farms, and fight for smart environmental policy that protects our clean water and natural resources.
