What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Each business must be able to operate safely and effectively. As we have seen time and again during this pandemic, Wisconsinites, and all Americans have modified their businesses to the best of their abilities to operate in a safe manner while serving customers and providing the services necessary to keep our economic infrastructure viable. We must continue to do so in order to bring down unemployment. We must also recognize that while we all hold different talents, we all learn differently. All forms of education must be promoted to enhance our business climate.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
All that we have and all that we hold dear are blessings through God, our Father. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, and this earth is my temporary home. While I am here on earth, I am working to spread God's message of hope and forgiveness, and to encourage all with whom I encounter to cultivate their own relationship with Jesus. I value all life and recognize that we have differing abilities and talents. There is growth, education and value to recognizing our own talents and helping others to recognize theirs.
