Lower Deficit
Wisconsin ranks in the top 10 for highest taxed States in the Nation.  Yet we have a 6.6 Billion dollar Deficit, ranking us 4'th in this dubious category.  Wisconsin deserves to have it's leaders spend their money responsibly, and not spend money they don't have.

Healthy Business Climate
A recent study showed Wisconsin 43'rd in the Best and Worst states for business.  Businesses are leaving Wisconsin at an unprecedented rate.  We need to encourage a business climate in Wisconsin that not only keeps the jobs that we have, but entices businesses to our state, and to OUR area.  Jobs that will pay a competitive wage.

Protect and Care for our Seniors
As some of you may know, I have a 69 year old Mother who suffers with Alzheimers.  This makes care for our Seniors very close to my heart, and I know it's an important issue to a great number of you.  Let's face it.  The way government works, is the people or groups that make the most noise get taken care of.  This is not a trait that is characteristic of most Seniors.  We do have groups such as AARP, or CWAG that lobby for Seniors in Madison, but we need a strong voice within our government to speak out for them.  There are going to be program cuts in the near future because of budget restraints.  Let's not let them be programs our Seniors need.

Wisconsin deserves to have our second amendment protected.
