Providing Inflation Relief
​Inflation is on the rise and pocketbooks across Wisconsin are feeling the squeeze. Dan fought hard this session to provide historic tax relief to Wisconsin families, retirees, and businesses and stopped Governor Evers’ proposed tax increases. Thanks to Dan and his Assembly Republican colleagues, you are able to keep more of your hard-earned money when you need it the most.

Education
Making sure students and teachers have the resources they need is critical to a successful education. That’s why Dan voted to increase funding for public schools in the last budget, putting more money directly into the classroom, along with a historic expansion of our state's successful school choice program.

Dan also made it a priority to increase career training opportunities for students while they’re still in high school. Thanks to his leadership, expanded access to Youth Apprenticeship programs gives students the chance to go to school and work part time with local employers, giving them valuable on the job training.

Keeping Communities Safe
Making sure the communities where we live, work, and raise our families are safe is one of Dan’s top priorities. That’s why he voted to keep violent criminals off our streets, authored bipartisan legislation to make sure domestic abusers are held accountable, and helped pass a bill to keep firearms out of the hands of violent criminals.​ Dan also voted to protect our police departments from efforts to defund them.

​Cutting Government Waste and Reducing Taxes
You work hard for your money, and Dan fought to keep more of it in your own pocket. Dan helped cut government waste, balance the budget, and reduced the tax burden by more than $20 billion over the last decade.
 
Not so long ago, property taxes were rising out of control, making it harder for families, seniors, and those on fixed incomes to stay in their homes. That’s just not right, and Dan fought to reverse that trend. Today, property taxes have been lowered and the state portion has been eliminated. Dan also led the successful effort to eliminate the state's personal property tax, saving our small businesses $200 million annually.
