Krug's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[12]

High Capacity Well and Groundwater Legislation

The League of Conservation Voters placed me on their Honor Roll in 2014 for my conservation advocacy work as a representative. One of my Goals is to continue to live up to this standard in the upcoming session.

Education Funding Reform

The purpose of K-12 education is to prepare young people for their lives. A large part of life is being financially literate. In other words, being able to understand how money works and being able to save and use money effectively. These are skills I hold in high regard. I worked on Assembly Bill 248, which would have required all K-12 schools to teach financial literacy in each grade level and to inform college students who are on their way into the workforce.

Corrections Reforms

The Wisconsin Department of Corrections recognizes 40 correctional institutions in the state. According to the same department, “37.1% of inmates released in 2010 were re-incarcerated within 3 years.” While that number has decreased since the years prior, whether we want to believe it or not, re-incarceration is a still a major problem that we must continue to address. That starts with corrections reforms.

Economic Development

Building a stronger framework of local businesses is the best way to improve the local economy. I worked to pass Assembly Bill 45, known as the TIF Bill, which allows several towns to participate in one tax incremental financing—or TIF—district. This is a great economic development tool that will help municipalities bring in new business. Municipalities can start taking advantage of this new opportunity starting October 1st, when the law goes into effect.

Job Training

Teaching workers how to perform their jobs well is an essential part of economic growth. And part of getting the most out of education is training students in career skills. I fought for further paper science funding for UWSP during the State budget. The goal was to allow paper science training programs to encourage local companies to continue to train and hire local students.

Transportation Funding

One last issue I have decided to address during this upcoming session is a long-term fix for transportation funding, particularly for local roadways. Last session I started working toward some transportation legislation including a bill to distribute information of hit and run assailants to the public on roadway signs. Another bill allowed for more local control in deciding when roundabouts are placed into communities rather than the decision being solely that of the Department of Transportation.

During the State budget, I fought to allocate more funding for local transportation and to improve local infrastructure.[13]
