Why should voters elect you the next governor of Wisconsin?
The easiest answer is my direct accountability. My phone number is 414-640-3400, and my email is manskeandy23@gmail.com. Anyone across the state can contact me for their needs in the governor mansion if elected. I also literally am the only non-politician in the race. I am also the only non-bought out choice for governor from big anything, special interests, and millionaires, and billionaires. I hope with due time, policy vision, and unity focused tackling the cost of living from the up 40% we had we can make Wisconsin a utopia.
What is the top issue facing Wisconsinites and how would you address it?
Crushing inflation! I would immediately go to activate the release valve by reforms, ending taxes, and making lever adjustments to see people start to prosper instead of living paycheck to paycheck, or as it’s sometimes called just surviving. Gas markup, Gas tax, tax on female products, groceries from two ways. These are but a few of my relief policies.
What is the top policy goal you would like to accomplish in your first 100 days in office?
Writing a budget like retail to consolidate our 70 state agencies will overlap into a more manageable amount like 3 into 1 new agency. I would then take half off that tripled budget, and return it to our state budget to prepare for tax cuts. The reason this would be a top goal is that a budget has only so much time after being elected to be done, and if it isn’t we may have to wait for relief now for citizens.
What kind of relationship should Wisconsin’s governor have with the federal government?
One of cooperation, and not cooperation. As odd as that sounds, we want the government to focus assets on us like funds, but we also don’t want the federal government destroying our culture or putting WI lives in danger. I would say no to data centers which are argued for by saying China is doing them. We need to compete. I would seek to protect our small town feeling, great lakes, energy costs then bow to Washington’s demands from either side to strip our culture. Sometimes our federal government makes choices that hurt us to boost “America” as a whole. We must be independent enough to say no, but also take what we can get.
How would you approach working with the Legislature if there are Republicans in power in one or both chambers?
I would end gridlock, and get something done, if they controlled both. We would pass reform, and work to get relief to Wisconsin citizens win win.

What is your favorite fun Wisconsin history fact?
I refuse to say as Wisconsin has way too many fun history facts. We have such a beautiful unique state culture. I am so proud to live in Wisconsin, and working in the medical field in this state is so fulfilling. I hope me and my wife who are trying for children get to see Wisconsin even better someday for their sake.
