Campaign themes
2016
Odeen's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Local economy and jobs
- Excerpt: "For our family farms, small businesses and manufacturing companies to remain competitive with the rest of the state and the rest of the country, rural broadband and basic infrastructure must be maintained and improved. Expanded internet access for rural communities is now essential for economic growth to occur."
K-12 public education and secondary education
- Excerpt: "Our K-12 system needs to be fully funded and we need to address the problems with the recent de-funding of our Wisconsin University system and Technical schools."
Local control and environment
- Excerpt: "We have lost local control of zoning regulations and in general local control is slowly being stripped away by the Republican controlled legislature in Madison. I feel and many of the people in the 10th district that I talk to on a daily basis also feel that we are on a fast-track for concentrating more and more power in Madison. The state is telling local governments what it can and cannot do all the way down to how to regulate plastic bags and disposable containers."
