It is the duty of Government to provide the environment for its citizens to be prosperous. We must be good stewards of tax funds to provide the people that environment. By cutting waste and focusing those reclaimed funds we can properly fund our schools, update a failing infrastructure, provide long overdue training and equipment to emergency services, and protect our natural resources. Redirecting funding into local communities will also make large and potentially harmful industrial developments less attractive to local Governments as there will not be a need for the funding those developments may bring.
No one in Wisconsin should ever feel as if they do not have access to the best health care. It is my goal to ensure that every region of our State has fair and equal access to all forms of health care. By supporting local health clinics and mobile clinics we can ensure that under serviced communities have access to the best quality of care. We need to make it a priority for Government to ensure our health providers to have every tool at their disposal to provide preventative health, reproductive health, and health education services to all corners of our State.
Public School funding per student in Wisconsin is well below the national average. Our schools have been forced to ask for operating funds through referendum to make up the difference in what the State provides and what is actually needed. This shortfall in funding and the change in education has forced our Educators to do more with less for too long. It is my goal to see that our public schools are properly funded. We can do this by redirecting funds from wasteful spending into our public school system and by ensuring that funds earmarked for public education stays in the public system.
Fair districts can only be put in place when partisan politics are removed from the process. I believe the only way to achieve fair redistricting is to create a bipartisan committee with equal representation from all parties. I also believe that every redistricting must be voted on by the People of Wisconsin.
It is my belief that we must do everything in our power to protect Wisconsin's natural beauty, environment, and people. We have to be very well informed when navigating the current landscape of large and potentially harmful developments. While on the surface guardrail legislation seems effective at protecting the People of Wisconsin by putting restrictions on developers, I believe that kind of legislation can also work as a guideline that developers can easily follow to ensure they can be successful in putting these facilities in our neighborhoods. My goal is to ensure that developers of projects such as hyperscale data centers find Wisconsin so restrictive that they choose to look outside our State for their future sites.
