Campaign Announcement http://www.wispolitics.com/2026/phelps-campaign-representative-christian-phelps-officially-launches-2026-state-assembly-re-election-campaign/
My platform can be distilled to the basic belief that healthcare, housing, food, and education should be basic human rights in Wisconsin. That's why I'm running on "pro-public" priorities: - public schools - public health - public land - public participation in democracy.

Public education is the throughline in my life. As a former special education paraprofessional and organizer/communications director for Wisconsin Public Education Network (a statewide nonpartisan, nonprofit organization), I bring a deep understanding of school policy, school funding, and transparent communication to the capitol. I have led our legislative efforts to take pressure off of property taxpayers and fund public schools from the state. In 2027, I can deliver.
Housing costs are rising across the board with few guardrails, our inventory of affordable housing is too low, and the state under Republican control has created too many restrictions on our municipalities to address these issues.

My priorities include:

I support legislation to crack down on corporations and bad actors using AI to automatically increase rents and housing costs or keep people out of rentals (see Assembly Bill 142).

I support legislation to reduce property taxes across the board by picking up the tab for public schools through the state budget (see AB 1176, AB 1209, and others).

I support legislation to allow our municipalities to regulate landlords and restore local control over housing (see AB 1048 and others).
I believe in removing legislators from the redistricting process entirely because elected officials have an inherent conflict of interest when they are drawing the boundaries of their own districts. Wisconsin should establish an independent, nonpartisan commission to create legislative maps, with clear standards for transparency and fairness.

I also know that this issue extends well beyond Wisconsin. A national standard to prevent partisan gerrymandering and restore key protections of the Voting Rights Act would help ensure that all voters have fair representation and are voting in a level playing field.
My legislative record offers a clear blueprint of the education policy and budget goals I'll deliver in a governing majority.

On special education, we must keep our promises and fund public schools on a sum-sufficient basis, and end the disparity in funding between public schools (approximately 38% of costs) and private vouchers (over 90%); see Assembly Bill 859 & others.

On general school aid, the state must contribute enough to catch up to inflation and keep property taxes down; see AB 1176 & others.

On privatization, we must stop the ballooning waste of public resources on private schools by immediately restoring caps on this public spending (AB 307) and ultimately ensuring that all PUBLIC funds for education go to our PUBLIC schools.
I believe the state legislature needs to step up and be the primary regulatory body over these projects, especially given the meteoric rise of artificial intelligence (AI). I believe heavily regulating the AI industry is essential to any other regulations on large data centers or any other major projects, and would inherently address many of the concerns about the environmental and budget impacts of these projects, too. I introduced a comprehensive AI regulation amendment to Assembly Bill 840 (ASA 4 to AB 840) which would have required the state to regulate the impact on workforce and economy, mental health, and more, with regular reports to the legislature. I believe that it is reckless to move forward without these guardrails.
