Small businesses, tourism, recreation, and natural resources are the backbone of Northern Wisconsin’s economy. But the Trump administration has delivered a one-two economic punch to northern Wisconsin residents. First were the tax cuts for billionaires that will add $3.4 Trillion to our national debt, all paid for by slashing health care and other crucial programs. They're making life far more expensive for the people who can least afford it. 

Now we're facing an ever-changing tariff war that is raising costs for manufacturers and importers, badly hurting farmers who depend on overseas markets, and raising prices for food, clothing, and essentials for all of us. And with their votes and their refusal to assert their Constitutional duty, Republicans in Congress have supported all of it. 

Business owners can’t make crucial new investments when the government is changing the rules and the financial playing field on a daily basis, and they can’t thrive when residents can no longer afford their products and services.  

In Congress I will Support 

• Restoring economic stability by ending the senseless tariff wars, restoring trading partnerships with our allies, and developing a fair trade policy that encourages and promotes more jobs to stay in Wisconsin. 

• Long-overdue tax reform that claws back 40 years of tax giveaways to the wealthiest Americans and our most profitable corporations. In the process we will reduce our national debt and help secure the future of lifeline programs like Social Security and Medicare.  

• Investing more in the small and medium sized businesses that contribute the largest share to rural employment. Instead of handouts to billionaires, let's invest in the kind of targeted subsidies that support the entrepreneurs and small business owners who generate rural jobs, live in our communities, and do the right thing by their workers - a public investment with a triple payoff.   

With our clean lakes, healthy forests, and small towns, Northern Wisconsin has all the fundamentals for a stable, vibrant economy where everyone can prosper. It’s time we made economic policy in Washington that lets us all do better here at home.
