What He’s Said:“I am going to sit down with all the smart tax people. We’re going to figure out how low we can get the income tax.” What He’s Done: 1. Blamed Gov.

What He’s Said: “If Tim Michels really wanted to be helpful on [crime], he’d convince Republican legislators that there is something called shared revenue. Shared revenue is a huge way that we fund the police in the state of Wisconsin. I’ve proposed increases in the last two budgets. And guess what? Republicans zeroed it out.” What He’s Done: 1. Invested more than $100 million in public safety programs 2. Sent $56 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding to Milwaukee to pay for more police...

Vetoed every bill that would have added additional voting restrictions and made it harder for Wisconsinites to vote 2. Pushed to allow local clerks to securely start counting absentee ballots the Monday before the election to expedite official certification 3...

What He’s Said:“Certainly there was a lot of bad stuff that happened. There were certainly illegal ballots. How many? I don’t know if anybody knows.” What He’s Done: 1. Called the 2020 election “maybe stolen” without any evidence to back his claim 2. Won’t commit to accepting the 2022 election results 3. Fueled Donald Trump and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos’ baseless claims of widespread voter fraud What He’d Do: 1. Keep decertifying the 2020 election results “on the table,” although that can’t...

Proposed universal school choice, which would take funding away from public schools 2. Criticized public schools for being too “inclusive,” raising the Pride flag during Pride Month, and using students’ preferred pronouns What He’d Do: 1. Ensure schools...
