Issues

STRENGTHENING OUR ECONOMY

Inflation is on the rise across Wisconsin and increasing prices are hitting our families hard. Jon understands how families are struggling to keep up, so he led the fight to cut taxes. He also voted to stop an automatic gas tax increase and a $1 billion tax hike. As your representative, Jon will continue to fight for a balanced budget and put a stop to out-of-control government spending.

KEEPING OUR COMMUNITIES SAFE

Jon ran for office to make sure our streets are safe for our families and children. That’s why he voted for tougher penalties to keep violent repeat criminals off our streets and to keep firearms out of the hands of felons. He will continue to push for common-sense policies to support local law enforcement and strengthen our laws to hold criminals accountable.

SUPPORTING OUR RURAL COMMUNITIES

J

on is passionate about our rural communities. He knows small towns like ours are vital to Wisconsin’s economy. That is why he advocated for an increase in broadband funding in the last budget to keep our local businesses and communities moving forward, and authored legislation which directs opioid litigation funds to local governments to combat the opioid crisis. To maintain our small-town way of life, he will continue to advocate on behalf of our local farms and small businesses to ensure job growth here, and not just in big cities.

EMPOWERING PARENTS AND PUTTING KIDS FIRST

The last two years have been challenging for our families and schools. As a parent and grandparent, Jon understands this, that’s why he passed legislation that empowers parents with more information about what is being taught in schools, and expanded education options for families. He will always push for policies that truly put our kids first.

INVESTING IN HIGH-QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE

All Wisconsinites deserve access to high-quality healthcare, and Jon is working to ensure they have it. He passed a state budget that benefits all Wisconsin residents, protects our most vulnerable, and supports those who take care of them. He approved legislation to reduce the cost of prescription drugs and health care premiums. From our elderly, to new mothers, to those struggling with substance abuse, Jon fought hard to ensure the priorities of the people of Wisconsin are truly funded. As your representative, he will continue to push for common-sense policies to increase healthcare access and reduce cost.

Volunteer

With your support, I won the special election for the 42nd District, but the race is not over. On November 8th, I will once again be on the ballot and we must keep up our momentum. I need to build a strong team, and I am asking you to be part of it. Please consider hosting an event, displaying a yard sign, going door-to-door to drop literature, writing an editorial to your local paper, or making phone calls. Every volunteer we have letting the district know that I am on the ballot will help!
