A Wisconsin First Platform: Collaboration Over Division Our Problem

Wisconsin is stronger when we work together. Yet today, a broken two-party system rewards division, gridlock, and political games instead of problem-solving. Important issues—schools, healthcare, roads, farming, small businesses—are stalled not because solutions don’t exist, but because cooperation has become politically risky.

It’s time to put Wisconsin over party.

1. Fixing the Broken Two-Party System

• End Extreme Partisanship
• Encourage ranked-choice voting to give voters more choice and reduce “us vs. them” politics
• Push for fair, independent redistricting so elections are competitive and voters choose politicians—not the other way around
• Put Voters Before Parties
• Support campaign finance reforms that limit the influence of party machines and special interests
• Promote transparency so Wisconsinites know who is influencing decisions

2. Encouraging Collaboration to Help Wisconsin

• Work Across Party Lines
• Support legislation based on results and data, not party labels
• Publicly recognize and support good ideas—no matter which party proposes them
• Wisconsin Solutions for Wisconsin Problems
• Rural, suburban, and urban communities deserve equal attention
• Invest in policies shaped by local leaders, farmers, workers, educators, and small business owners
• Encourage collaboration between state government, tribal nations, municipalities, and counties

3. Practical Results That Matter

• Strong Economy
• Support small businesses and family farms with economic policies
• Invest in job training and apprenticeships aligned with Wisconsin industries
• Strong Communities
• Improve access to affordable healthcare through cooperative solutions
• Strengthen schools by focusing on outcomes, not ideological fights
• Strong Democracy
• Protect voting access while maintaining election security
• Restore trust in government by lowering the temperature and raising accountability
