The 2 most important issues in the upcoming election
Both Kelly Westlund and Sean Duffy have very different opinions on a variety of issues. However, as the 7th district congressional election nears, candidates are focused on the following related issues that are most important to the district and it’s voters:
The Economy:
Westlund feels that the best way to stimulate the economy is by “putting the government to work” and rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure to create new jobs.
Duffy has a different idea, and thinks that the government should stay out of the way of small businesses and stop policies that “kill jobs” such as Obamacare.
Jobs:
Westlund is very adamant about raising the minimum wage to at least $10.10.
Duffy would consider a wage raise if it came with policies making this easier for small business owners.

Westlund is passionate about putting money back into Wisconsin workers' pockets by raising the minimum wage by nearly $3.00 to $10.10 while Duffy would consider raising the wage, as long as it does not negatively affect small business owners.
