In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“You'll see it when we release it.”
“Look, we are still going through the budget proposal right now”
“I believe that anytime we give any level of tax incentive, it needs to make sure that it benefits the state of Wisconsin. It needs to be tied to retiring, and it needs to be tied towards income, and it needs to be tied to making sure that we are not giving away the farm because we believe it's going to the greatest thing here in the state of Wisconsin”
“I think that putting a full moratorium actually takes away local control. It actually preempts local municipalities because there may be manufacturing plants that have already been shuttered, and there may be communities who are looking to bring these in and wanting to hold them accountable. Now, I think what we really need to be focusing on, as well, is that many of the candidates up here keep talking about future data centers. The problem I have is that we're not protecting ourselves from the data centers that are currently here in the state of Wisconsin now. And so, how do we make sure we're protecting our environment, we're protecting our agriculture, we're protecting our farmers, we're protecting our people, when they're already here?”
“I grew up in 53206 zip code and we've always been told what this zip code lacks than what it actually has. I think it's important to think about the assets, the strength of these different communities.”
“The things that you've been through don't necessarily define what your future is going to be.”

“We need to fully fund our public schools and make sure we are responsible for our most vulnerable populations, people with disabilities, our seniors, undocumented immigrants.”
“It's frustrating because it sounds like sometimes we are using clickbait language and divisive language when it comes down to our primaries. And I think that plays into the hand of (President) Donald Trump and Republicans wanting to continuously divide and distract.”
“We want everybody to be up under this big tent and focused on the ultimate goal.”
“This isn't about me. This isn't about the candidates that are currently in this race. This is about the people of Wisconsin”
“If you don't have a seat at the table, you're on the menu.”
“I'm a bridge builder”
“We have to tackle the affordability crisis first”
“You're seeing gas prices rise. We're seeing electricity bills go up, groceries go up, housing go up. We have to get a handle on the affordability crisis here in the state of Wisconsin so more people can keep more money in their pockets.”
