Sue’s Priorities
Fair Electoral Maps
Fair electoral maps continue to be the number one priority. The fact that we allow one party to maintain political control for decades by drawing partisan gerrymandered maps is reprehensible.
Reproductive Health
Reproductive health care must be safeguarded for all. Criminalizing abortion will not end abortion – it will make it unsafe and dangerous. Abortion care IS health care and the decision to end a pregnancy must be made with guidance from a woman’s physician, family and faith – NOT politicians.
Affordable Housing
Our state continues to struggle to create enough affordable housing. We must continue to incentivize multifamily housing developments and revise city permitting codes to allow for more density in new and existing neighborhoods.
Gun Safety
Gun safety must be strengthened – we know how to make firearm access safer – background checks for every gun sale, extreme risk protection orders to temporarily remove guns from people who are inclined to hurt themselves or others, safe gun storage laws and increasing the age of assault weapons purchase to 21 will go a long way to make our communities safer.
Updated Funding Formulas
Funding formulas for municipalities and school districts are outdated and inequitable. Wisconsin taxpayers merit the funding necessary for safe communities and our children deserve a joyful and fulfilling education experience. State funding systems make both difficult for communities across the state.
