Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels released his “Wisconsin First Blueprint” which outlines his economic priorities should he be elected as governor. The blueprint is centered around three goals: “incentivizing business attraction and expansion in Wisconsin, addressing workforce shortages, and creating a more sustainable economy suited for the 21st century.”

It specifically calls for a reduction in corporate and individual income taxes, an increase in national energy production, the elimination of the personal property tax, reforms to occupational licensing laws, investments in education for jobs in high-demand sectors and vocational training, and increasing access to high-speed broadband.

In the press release, Michels said that he has “…led large teams to do big things and create thousands of jobs. I’m coming from outside of the government to help shake up the status quo and get Wisconsin back on the right track.”
