My Top Priorities Are:

The governor and state legislature should have been making sure every voter understood the changes that were made last year to the form of our federal government. Regardless of anyone's party affiliation or how they feel about national political figures or the wedge issues, I believe every voter needs to consider the ramifications of these 10 things the new federal government did last year:

1. Gratuitously adding $2+Trillion more to the national debt for no justifiable reason
2. Corporatizing national security data, SSNs, banking and health records
3. Ending funding for infectious disease control at home and abroad (USAID, CDC)
4. Dis-funding medical research just when A1 was accelerating breakthroughs
5. No data center oversight/regulation
6. Consequences to farmers and businesses from tariff policies
7. Starting yet another (unfunded) war
8. Ending equal protections under the law/due process
9. Pandering to White Christian Nationalism/anti-immigration propaganda
10. $1T cuts to Medicaid/SNAP and other safety net programs

I consider each and every one of these things existentially threatening to our collective well-being. 

My half century of experience working in the private sector (in a range of industries and roles including technology, manufacturing and international business development) will enable me to work with the legislature to help grow the Wisconsin economy top to bottom. A growing economy makes it a lot easier to address the various challenges we're facing. 

When the two political party leadership "sides" in the Legislature won't talk, or work together it's unfair to everybody. I'll work to re-establish a culture of productivity in state government.
