Taxes, budget & cost of living: “As a husband, father, and grandfather I see the impact rising costs have on the family budget. I will work tirelessly to provide real tax relief, especially property tax relief, for families and retirees to ensure you keep more of your hard-earned money.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Public education & schools: “I support efforts to ensure transparency, options, and information are available to parents to make the best decision when it comes to their child’s educational needs. Providing a quality education requires strong investments in the classroom and accountability to ensure students are succeeding. I will always push for policies that truly put our kids first.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Housing & infrastructure: “Technology continues to expand, and it is important that it happens responsibly. That’s why I support legislation preventing data centers from passing costs on to residents and taxpayers, and protecting our water resources from overuse. Big Tech needs to pay their own way, not put costs on the backs of our communities, residents and local environment.”

Taxes, budget & cost of living: “I am proud to call District 81 my home. This is where I began my career, where I have served my neighbors, started a family, and where I am committed to building a stronger future for all of us. My decision to run for office was never about politics. It was about stepping up when I saw families struggling to make ends meet, underfunded schools, and a legislature that was being irresponsible with our tax dollars. I believed we could do better, and I still do.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Campaign priorities & governance: “From serving on the Dane County Board to representing our community in the State Assembly, I have focused on showing up, listening carefully, and working hard to deliver real results. I believe leadership should be grounded in service, guided by common sense, and accountable to the people we represent. This work is personal to me because this community is home. And I will always fight to make things better.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Taxes, budget & cost of living: “The challenges facing Wisconsin families are real, and they deserve more than talking points. I am focused on lowering everyday costs, protecting fundamental rights, strengthening our public schools, supporting small businesses and farmers, and defending our democracy. These priorities are about making sure working families can build stable, secure futures right here in our community. I will continue to fight for practical, common-sense solutions that improve people’s lives and move Wisconsin forward.”
