What do the party and ideology labels mean?

On the ballot, partisan candidates run under a party — in Wisconsin almost always Democratic or Republican, with the occasional third-party or independent candidate. Words like progressive, conservative, libertarian, or democratic socialist are labels people use to describe themselves, not separate parties on the ballot. A label is a starting point; each candidate's sourced positions show where they actually stand.

In their own words

As Lt. Governor, I will help the next Governor shrink and streamline state government, cut its cost and regulatory burden, and make it work for you again.

For too many, housing costs have soared, and the American Dream of homeownership is impossible.

Too many of our young and young-at-heart are leaving Wisconsin due to overtaxation or feeling their opportunity is somewhere else.

As a small business owner for the last 25 years, I understand the costly impact of government over-regulation.
