An Open Letter

To: Sen. Ratcliff, Rep. Udell, Gov. Evers

From: A constituent in Fitchburg, WI

November 5

I am writing as a constituent in Fitchburg to share the issues that matter most to me for Wisconsin. I am asking you to make these priorities, use your voice on them now, and push for them in the next legislative session. • Fully expand Medicaid. Wisconsin should take the full federal expansion. It would cover more people and bring our own tax dollars back home. • Repeal Right to Work. Workers deserve strong unions and a fair say in their pay and working conditions. • Legalize marijuana. Our neighbors already have. Wisconsin is losing the tax revenue and jobs to them, and people are still being punished for something legal across the border. • Pass data center regulations. These projects need clear rules on water use, power costs, and tax breaks so residents do not end up paying the bill. • Increase shared revenue to local governments. Cities, towns, and counties need the funding to pay for police, fire, roads, and basic services without cutting them or raising property taxes. • Codify abortion protections. These rights should be written into state law, not left to the courts. • Fund public education. Our public schools need steady, full funding so districts are not forced to go to referendum just to keep the lights on. • Regulate private school vouchers. Schools that take public money should meet the same standards for accountability and transparency as public schools. • Join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Every vote for president should count equally, no matter which state it is cast in. I would appreciate a reply letting me know where you stand on each of these and what you plan to do about them. Thank you for your time and your service to Wisconsin.
