Edming's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[9]

Government Spending

  • Excerpt: "I've lived my life by the philosophy that you don't spend money on things you don't have the means to pay for. I am excited to see the results of the policies that Governor Walker is implementing in the capital. When I am elected to office and in Madison, I will treat the tax dollars like I have my own, conservatively and responsibly."

Jobs

  • Excerpt: "I have been a small business owner and employer for over 40 years. I understand the pride and value that comes from working hard and making your own way in life. I want to help Walker continue to create jobs in Wisconsin. When I get to Madison I will do what I do best, work hard to create jobs and opportunities for entrepreneurs and businesses."

Business Climate

  • Excerpt: "I think that Walker and the republicans have done a great job and I want to help create a prosperous business environment in Wisconsin for entrepreneurs to get their businesses up and being successful."

Education

  • Excerpt: "I went to college to become a teacher back in 1967 and taught at Osseo Fairchild School system for 5 years. I later went into business with my Father and became an entrepreneur. Now, over 40 years later and 68 years old, I am back in college finishing my Bachelors Degree at UW Barron County. When I retire I want to be a substitute teacher and I know that going back to school is the only way to achieve my goal. I understand the value of having an education and I look forward to bettering our education system while in Madison."

Friend to Veterans

  • Excerpt: "I will act on the best interest of Veterans when I am elected into office. This is one committee I would be honored to serve on while in Madison. I strongly believe that our Veterans have served our country with great personal sacrifice, and that we should honor their commitment and sacrifices in the capital."

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Wisconsin

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
