2022
Brienne Brown completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Brown's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Good public education is fundamental to our society & citizenship and needs to be funded at the promised 2/3 levels.
- Healthcare needs to be affordable and accessible to all, no matter where you live.
- As a gun owner, I believe in Common Sense gun laws.
Our health is our greatest asset in life; not being able to pay for necessary health care or having to drive too far to access it is unacceptable.
Women have the right to birth control and family planning. Abortion is health care. Women have the right to discuss their pregnancies with their doctors without government bureaucracies overreaching and mandating pregnancies.
Small businesses face a number of hurdles when it comes to achieving success. Some of these hurdles are regulatory, and some exist simply because it is difficult for a small business owner to have all the skill sets it takes to run in business in the 21st century. We should have a more robust system through the Better Business Bureau to help small businesses navigate these obstacles.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
Campaign finance summary

Depending on the election or state, this may represent only a portion of all the funds spent on their behalf. Satellite spending groups may or may not have expended funds related to the candidate or politician on whose page you are reading this disclaimer.

Scorecards
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.
Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of Wisconsin scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
