Campaign Announcement http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/andy-beck-announces-candidacy-for-wisconsins-5th-congressional-district-302519824.html
My priorities are lowering costs for working families, creating good-paying jobs, protecting Social Security and Medicare, improving access to affordable healthcare, and defending our democracy. I will focus on practical solutions such as workforce training, affordable housing, support for family farms and small businesses, and protecting reproductive freedom. My qualifications come from real-world experience—not politics. I have worked in healthcare, manufacturing, sales, and business leadership, giving me firsthand knowledge of the challenges facing Wisconsin families. As a working-class candidate with deep Wisconsin roots, I will bring common-sense problem-solving and an independent voice focused on the people of Wisconsin's 5th CD.
Wisconsin families are feeling the pressure of rising costs. I support increasing affordable housing, lowering healthcare costs, protecting Social Security and Medicare, and expanding workforce training for high-demand careers. We should strengthen American manufacturing, support small businesses and family farms, and promote fair trade policies that protect workers. I also support increasing competition and addressing corporate price gouging that raises prices for consumers. Economic growth should benefit working families, not just large corporations, by creating good-paying jobs and helping more people achieve financial security.
I support making voting easier, not harder. We should expand early voting, protect absentee voting, ensure enough polling locations and staff, and make Election Day a federal holiday. I oppose efforts that create unnecessary barriers for eligible voters. Every citizen who is eligible to vote should have a fair, secure, and convenient opportunity to cast a ballot and have that ballot counted.
Healthcare decisions belong between patients and their doctors, not politicians. I support protecting access to contraception, IVF, and abortion care, and restoring the protections of Roe v. Wade through federal law. I will work to lower healthcare costs, protect Medicare and Medicaid, strengthen rural healthcare access, increase mental health services, and address prescription drug prices so every Wisconsinite can access affordable, quality care.
I support secure borders and an immigration system that reflects our values. We should modernize ports of entry, improve screening technology, and focus enforcement on criminals, traffickers, and national security threats—not families seeking safety or opportunity. Congress must reduce asylum and visa backlogs, provide timely due process, protect refugees fleeing persecution, and create legal pathways for workers who strengthen our economy while maintaining rigorous security standards.
