Bartz: I’m worried about excessive partisanship in our legislature, the more parties move left or right, the more neighborhoods are left behind. Republicans, will feel silenced for the next two years. I am moderate and independent and apply to ensure that each and every user in our district, regardless of their political affiliation, has a voice in our government after this election.
Dallman: I’m running because our state wants tax duty more than ever. We also want representation that reflects the strong conservative values that District 41 believes in: law and order, non-public freedom, and less taxes.
Zimdars: I run because I’m called to serve. Rural Wisconsin is being abandoned and we want new leaders willing to cross partisan lines to make sure our rural spaces remain places where everyone can live, paint and thrive. I am concerned that the demanding situations we face will intensify unless we have an original rural voice with elected experience, deep participation in netpaintings, an intimate understanding of agriculture and monetary ingenuity. I’m the candidate who’s bringing this to Madison.
Bartz: I’m the candidate who can really paint for others without worrying about party retaliation. I’m also the only candidate who can really paint in every party. When you’re a Democrat or a Republican, you assume you’re sure of things and they’ll only vote on safe tactics because of their party. My vote will be for the other people in my district and my lack of association with the party means I can cross the aisle without judgment. We want more representatives who are destined to be in their district appearance steady than in the partisan aspect.
Dallman: I’m the candidate in this race because my values and ideals are highs in line with most of District 41. I have committed my professional and voluntary time to promote a conservative calendar and elect conservative leaders. conservative and the rest of the people in this district deserve a strong conservative candidate, like me, who will fight for his Madison ideals.
Zimdars: I have the background shown to make up the entire district. I’m the only candidate elected to public office. Our state wants a solid budget in those difficult economic times and I enjoyed and showed confidence in painting with taxpayers’ money. I also grew and continue to paint in agriculture, which is one of the largest economic sectors of our districts and states. I recognize the price of running in the other aspect of the political corridor because that’s who I am and what it takes to paint for everyone in the district.
Bartz: People are afraid: getting sick, losing their job or business, or seeing our country become unrecognizable. Sometimes all three of them. The openly component responses of our government and its component do not help. We don’t want unusual sense and moderation, criteria that protect our fitness but allow companies to recover and staff to pay their bills; reforms that protect against oppression but law enforcement; Regulations that protect farmers but do not punish consumers; Etc. I’d put paints to bring our lawmakers back to the table and paints for other people again, instead of betting the “who wins” game.
Dallman: The maximum disorders facing District 41 are the expansion of rural broadband, the coverage and preservation of agriculture and production, and the exit of COVID-19 with as little monetary damage as possible. In Madison, I’ll look to continue investing in rural broadband expansion. I will also seek continuous investments in vocational and technical education so that our next generation has the education and skills to succeed in our production and agricultural sectors.
Zimdars: All the main problems that locals communicate about may be related to the pandemic. People want quality broadband to practically adapt to painting and learning. Small businesses want money to recover. Farmers want markets to sell their products. As a member of the school board, I worked with our board in the afterlife to get broadband access stuff to families without access to the web and I would look to take advantage of it. There are opportunities to obtain ongoing subsidies for the companies most affected by the pandemic as it runs to build a flexible chain of sources that benefits our hard-working farmers.
Bartz: reaction to COVID-19, farmers’ coverage and reform of law enforcement policies The reaction to COVID-19 will have to deal not only with testing and medical reaction, but also with coverage opposed to monetary ramifications such as the closure of small businesses, the crisis of housing stability and for the school formula (including broadband access problems). Farmers’ coverages will have to deal with overproduction, business consolidation and intellectual suitability Array Law enforcement reforms should ensure the identity of non-field officials, reduce the use of force and coverage of officials on the floor (including not making judgments about an incident before the investigation is completed).
Dallman: Lawmakers want to address the budget deficit that Wisconsin will revel in due to the closure of COVID-19 and also the protection and preservation factor of our agriculture and dairy farms in Wisconsin.
Zimdars: Agriculture and our state budget. Wisconsin agriculture has been greatly affected by the pandemic after years of enduring a complicated agricultural economy and we want to do more for our farmers and industry at large. We also want to take a look at the state budget, because we will draft a new budget in 2021 that will take into account serious profit losses in a way that does not reduce investment too much or increase cloud taxes.
Bartz: The state legislature deserves to ensure that adequate and consistent data are distributed to the public, that the budget under federal CARES law be used to protect Americans and small businesses, that state agencies provide assistance to those in need), that the school Systems get sufficient support for in-person and home learning (broadband access should be addressed through a public/private partnership), and that rural spaces are considered independent of urban spaces given population differences, positive case rates, etc.
Dallman: We need to do everything we can to make the economy work as safely as possible. We cannot allow companies to remain closed, otherwise there will be nothing left to reopen after the pandemic ends.
Zimdars: Our legislature will have to provide a sufficient amount of money to Americans and industries that have been affected to the fullest. Providing additional subsidies to small businesses that have been affected and have not won any under the initial grant “We are all gone” will have to be considered, especially if the virus spreads and further weakens our economy. The state must have the ability to provide mandatory resources to counties and fitness facilities hit with cases.
Bartz: Small businesses want quick and simple access to the budget that helps them keep their doors open, respect payroll, and pay their bills, but if a company makes a multimillion-dollar profit, it’s moderate to expect them to give up commercial bonuses or reduce profit ratios to cover the cost of the same items. Tenants want when they are fired due to illness, office closure or inability to paint due to addiction issues, but landlords want to pay their mortgages/insurance/utilities/etc. They want investments to ensure safe and informed environments, but also to allow young people to be informed at home if an epidemic closes the school.
Dallman: The legislature will have to make sure we provide relief in a financially conservative way. The state cannot make quick and inconsiderate decisions that will provide short-term relief, but will create a much broader long-term problem.
Zimdars: Lawmakers will have to ensure that the protection nets and monetary aid that have been promised to those in desperate need are in fact directed at those affected. We want to do more for those who are suffering to navigate compulsory assistance to those who cannot repay rent, loans or other public facilities will have to continue until the end of this pandemic. In addition, Wisconsin residents will need to be sure that they will continue to have access to mandatory testing and fitness care in the event of contagion.
Bartz: Racial injustice is in fact a problem. Systems in place decades ago have allowed other people of color to be continuously deprived of housing, fitness services, justice, education, etc. Reforms can be undertaken to achieve a just and equivalent solution and to ensure that they do so to eliminate these disadvantages None can be detailed within the 100-word limit given to me, but I am pleased to continue to talk about it.
Dallman: I that the United States is the largest country on the planet and, as a country, we have done more to take other people out of poverty and injustice than any other country in history. Of course, America has had a problematic history of slavery, yet the Republican Party has complexed America through those difficult times and continues to fight for non-public freedom and equality for all men and women under God. to more productively reflect the values of life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness for members of all religions, cultures and ethnic backgrounds.
Zimdars: Racial injustice and discrimination is a major challenge in our state and nation. The police reform costs sent to our governor, along with the Legislative Black Caucus and the Wisconsin Police Union, were a smart first step in addressing the serious challenges of fear of communities of color. We will have to continue to capitalize on this by addressing other disparities in education, employment and physical care, to name a few. It is my preference to listen, be informed and grow as a best friend as I raise voices of color.
