Campaign themes
Trovato's website has emphasized the following campaign themes:[3]
| “ | Jobs:
Sustainable, high-paying, family supporting jobs should be the focal point for any office holder in the state given our current economic climate. Getting government out of the way of businesses so that they can grow and succeed means putting families back to work and continuing the positive growth instituted by Governor Walker since he took office in 2011. My focal point will be to continue working with small-business owners across our community to find ways to reduce bureaucratic red-tape and put people back to work. Taxes: Your hard-earned money belongs to you. By lowering the tax burden on Wisconsin families, more money will be in your pockets and your hard-earned paychecks will foster grown and stimulate the economy. Most recently, Governor Walker and the Republican-led legislature cut taxes for Wisconsin job creators, families, and seniors by over $1 billion dollars. I am proud to have worked in leadership in the Legislature during a time when waste was cut from the state’s budget and returned to the taxpaying citizens of our state. Second Amendment: I firmly believe in the sanctity of all amendments enshrined in the United States Constitution, and as an elected official would swear to uphold our Constitution in its entirety. This includes strongly supporting an individuals right to keep and bear arms. As a hunter, and as someone who holds our rights to be dearly bought freedoms, we must be forever vigilant in protecting these sacred liberties. I am a supporter of Wisconsin’s recently passed Concealed Carry legislation and feel so strongly in the bill that I joined Governor Walker and Assembly leadership at the bill signing in Wausau, Wisconsin in 2011. Education: To be competitive in the 21st Century our students must be equipped with the opportunities and tools to be successful. As a strong advocate of school choice and options for parents, I believe that offering a broad variety of alternatives must include traditional public, charter, voucher, and virtual schools. We must adapt to the changing times and offer innovative solutions to combat the educational dip so our students, and your children have the same opportunities we did. Abortion: I am 100% pro-life and believe that being pro-life doesn’t stop at conception or birth, but that we must support life at every stage. I promise to fight for the most vulnerable and protect the sanctity of life.[4] |
