Name: Robert Meyer
Age: 61
Hometown: Sun Prairie
Occupation: Publisher

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

Please describe your relevant political experience: I ran for Mayor of Sun Prairie in 2007, and in 2002 I served as Treasurer on the Jim Young for Governor Campaign.

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

Wisconsin is a wonderful state and my #1 priority is to lead everyone to work together to grow our economy over the next four years. WI is currently $1B behind in our investments in education and infrastructure.

We’re in a farm crisis, we’re all on the hook for the Foxconn subsidy, and WI might be heading into a recession and the incumbent doesn’t have a plan.

Becoming the leading tech state in the Midwest, building out our I94 corridor, and becoming the leading hemp producer again will enable WI to fund ongoing investments in education and infrastructure. Our next Governor needs to understand the economy from the perspective of someone like myself who has several decades of business development experience in multiple industries.
