Campaign website

The following campaign themes were found on Todd Novak's 2022 campaign website.[10]

Environment

Todd knows that a successful economy requires a healthy environment. His work as Chairman of the Speaker's Task Force on Water Quality has shown that we can successfully address these important issues in a bipartisan way. During his time in the legislature, Todd has advocated for, and succeeded in providing additional funding for Land and Water Conservation Staffing who work to implement, county-based, conservation efforts. Todd has also voted against efforts to repeal the mining moratorium and roll back protections on federal wetlands in Wisconsin.

Rural Wisconsin

Our rural areas are in desperate need of funding for schools, and access to high speed internet. This session, Todd has made our rural areas a priority. He voted for a budget that provided an increase of $604 per student in K-12 funding - a record amount. This increase represents over $7.5 million in additional funding for schools in the 51st Assembly District. This budget also included a historic $44 million investment in the state's Broadband Grant Program to bring high speed internet to our rural communities

Healthcare

Healthcare is expensive, especially for those who do not receive coverage through their employer. To help manage skyrocketing premiums and make coverage more affordable for those purchasing coverage on the individual market, Todd authored and passed the Wisconsin Healthcare Stability Plan. This program reduced private health insurance premiums by 4.2% in 2019. To protect those with preexisting conditions, Todd proudly supported legislation prohibiting health plans from enacting exclusions based on preexisting conditions.

Quality and affordable access is also important for our Seniors. Todd supported legislation making Senior Care a permant program, and to assist those living with Alzheimer's and Dementia, Todd added language to the State Budget to expand Wisconsin's Dementia Care Specialist Program. Finally, Todd supported a budget that provides millions of dollars of additional funding for nursing homes, personal care workers, and direct caregivers in family care.

Our local hospitals are the foundation to providing quality care to rural residents. This is why Todd supported increases in funding for area facilities including Upland Hills Health, the Monroe Clinic, and the Memorial Hospital of Lafayette County.
