Republican members of the 3rd Congressional District constructed the following list of "Top 10" priorities our Republican Legislators need to focus on under the new GOP leadership. The letter was then composed and approved by the 3rd District Executive Committee and all the County Chairs. The letter was sent, in April, to all of our Republican Senators and Assemblymen in the 3rd Congressional District, Senate Majority Leader Scot Fitzgerald, Assembly Leader Jeff Fitzgerald, Governor Scott Walker, Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch, US Senator Ron Johnson, Attorney General JB Van Hollen, State Treasurer Kurt Schuller, and RPW & RNC Leadership. The letter sent is as follows:
To the Honorable Republican Legislators:
Congratulations on gaining control of the Assembly, Senate, and Governor’s office! We worked hard this campaign season to help make this a successful election for Republicans, and we’d like to continue to help you set priorities for this legislative session. At the 3rd District Leadership Meeting held in January, a list was developed by members of the 19 county parties within the 3rd Congressional District to help you understand what your constituents believe are the most important issues facing us today. The list is to help you focus on what issues to tackle first and to remind you of what voters expect you to deliver on.
These are our top 10 priorities:
1. Economic Development: including job creation in the private sector, reduction in corporate taxes and deregulation of business.
2. Balance the Budget: Without raising taxes and without raiding designated funds.
3. Voter ID: and eliminate same day voter registration.
4. 2nd Amendment Rights: including concealed carry and maintain open carry.
5. Property Taxes: reduce property taxes and work to reduce and/or eliminate as many taxes as possible.
6. Illegal Immigration: deal with the problem honestly and without fear.
7. State Income Tax: reduce and/or eliminate personal state income tax.
8. Clean Bill Legislation: initiate Clean Bill legislation.
9. DNR: do not allow the DNR to interfere with business.
10. Social Issues: Adhere to social conservatism, respecting traditional family values, including the sanctity of life (from conception until natural death) and the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman.
Thank you for this opportunity to address you with the issues that are most prevalent in the minds of your supporters from the 3rd Congressional District. We recognize this is a volatile time for you as conservatives and the pressure you are facing from the left is immense. We want to assure you that we are here to support you and will continue to stand with you, as long as you continue to stand up for us and adhere to the conservative principles the Republican Party represents. Thank you for all you have done and will do to make Wisconsin great again. We believe in Wisconsin and we believe in you!
Respectfully,
3rd Congressional District Republican Party of Wisconsin
