Providing a Quality Education for All

Excerpt: "Investing in our neighborhood, public schools because they are the cornerstones of our community, producing a strong Wisconsin workforce for tomorrow. This means fully funding our local, public schools before putting another public dollar in the voucher system, which remains unaccountable to Wisconsin families and their children."

Creating Good-Paying Jobs

Excerpt: "Employees across Wisconsin go to work everyday, and work hard to create profits for area businesses. Wisconsin’s profit creators deserve their fair share of these profits, which includes a fair wage that doesn’t require them to live in poverty while working full-time. Raising Wisconsin’s minimum wage and ensuring Wisconsin’s women receive equal pay for equal work will lift up all communities and Wisconsin families, while also spurring economic growth and reducing the need for public assistance."

Protecting Our Lands and Waters

Excerpt: "Defend Wisconsin’s stewardship tradition and our tourism industry by protecting the rivers, lakes, forests and prairies we all enjoy each year. Let’s ensure we protect this Wisconsin for current and future generations."

Increasing Higher Education Affordability

Excerpt: "Support Wisconsin’s many exemplary institutions of higher education and their efforts to invest in our next generation of profit creators. We must also reduce the debt burden most students acquire when making the decision to invest in their future, as well as the future of our community."

Investing in Our Infrastructure

Excerpt: "Make smart investments in Wisconsin’s roads, bridges, public transit infrastructure and community spaces that make the Milwaukee area a great place to live, work and raise a family."

Increasing Access to Health Care

Excerpt: "We have a moral obligation to our neighbors and community to increase access to affordable health care for everyone. To reach this goal, we need to invest in Wisconsin’s health care options for children, the elderly, individuals with disabilities, and families. We also need to safeguard our mutual health care rights, including our constitutional right to privacy and the freedom to make decisions related to our own bodies."
