Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Victor Toniolo and I have lived in Madison for 19 years. I've worked in biotech for 15 and the service industry for 11 years.

First and foremost, I wish to serve so that I can answer any and all questions from my constituents. Having lived in Madison for my entire adult life, I’ve always received thorough responses from my alders when I’ve reached out to them. I already consider myself a resource for coworkers, friends, and the community at large, and have increased my civic engagement over my years in Madison. I am very familiar with city ordinances and regulations, the city website(s), and a variety of departments that I have interacted with. I have read every proposed city budget since 2015 and followed the amendment and approval processes in most years.

I wish to serve district 12 specifically because I see the most exciting changes in Madison happening here. I am excited about the public market project moving forward, the incoming BRT routes, the possibility of an intercity Amtrak station, larger, higher density developments, and continuing to work at state and federal levels to reduce the impact of PFAS on our citizens.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• More housing
• Even more housing
• Public transportation improvements including north/south BRT and an Amtrak station at Oscar Mayer

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Housing development. More market rate, more affordable, more public housing, more co-ops, more options.

More development means lower rent and lower property taxes, and more city services.
