Feyen's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[5]
| “ |
Closing the skills gap is my #1 priority. We must reinvest in our Technical Colleges, High Schools, and our business community while providing vital resources for worker training and technical education programs.
We can no longer kick the can down the road. Our current transportation funding formula is broken and needs to be fixed. Quality infrastructure is key to the success of our state for commerce and the safety of our citizens and visitors.
With a daughter in public school and a son attending UW Madison, I will continue to advocate for adequate funding for all of our educational systems.[6] |

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.
