Meet Joshua Parr, 14th Assembly Candidate For Wisconsin

BROOKFIELD, WI — Joshua Parr is running in a crowded field for Wisconsin's 14th Assembly District, which covers parts of Waukesha, Brookfield and Milwaukee. Parr will be on the ballot in the Tuesday, Aug. 14 primary election ballot.

Parr, 25, a self-styled conservative Republican, says that he is strongly motivated to see Wisconsin Department of Transportation reform, and criminal justice reform that puts law-abiding citizens first.

We reached out to Parr's campaign to learn more about his candidacy. Here are his responses in his own words:

Name: Joshua Parr

Age: 25
Place of Residence: Born in Antioch IL
Lived in Brookfield WI for last 9 years
Occupation: Warehouse Worker at Active Resource Company

Please characterize where you fall on the political spectrum (liberal/moderate/conservative, etc.):

I am a Conservative Republican.

Please describe your relevant political experience:

I served in the USMC for 4 years and achieved rank of Corporal. I was heavily involved with Campus Crusade for Christ in college. I just finished 2 years of Bible College at Crimson College of Ministry. I have studied history since I was a child and inhale studied religion and politics since I was a Sophomore.

Please talk about the top 1 or 2 leading issues in your campaign and how you plan to approach them if elected:

Top Issue 1:
Department of Transportation Reform.
It spends too much on too little and takes too long getting it done. I would like to adopt a Montana style DoT. I lived there for 5 years and I studied their DoT while there. I believe that Wisconsin is capable of the adoption and it would be very beneficial.

Top Issue 2:
Criminal Justice Reform.
We should put law abiding citizens first and not the criminals. Back in 2009 I lost a cousin and uncle to illegal immigrants hired by a local landscaping in a bad accident. Last year I lost a 2nd cousin to a repeat drunk driver in West Allis. While I feel for those people, I don't want the same thing to happen to more Wisconsinites. Government should be about protecting the innocent and weak from those that prey on the innocent and weak.
