Racine County Eye asked candidates to fill out a questionnaire so that our readers could learn more about them. These are Christian Kuether’s answers.
Christian Kuether
What position are you seeking?
State Assembly: 66th District
Where do you live?
2009 Kearney Avenue, Racine, WI
How long have you lived in Racine?
I have long-held ties to the community since childhood, but my wife and I officially moved to Racine in 2022 to become homeowners and to raise our three young children.
Christian Kuether has been involved with the following organizations:
- I am a Social Studies teacher at St Marcus Lutheran School in Milwaukee.
- We attend church at First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Downtown Racine.
What motivated you to run for office?
In my experience as an educator and father, I have been confronted with two distinct scenes. On one side, there seems to be constant conflict between two political groups always looking for more reasons to disagree. On the other side, I see the real world, in which normal people are constantly trying to work together, regardless of their differences, to make their communities better places to live. I want this district to have an option for unity. I truly believe that can happen if educational and economic opportunities are provided for all people in Wisconsin.
Have you ever held political office before?
No
What years did you hold that political office?
N/A
What is the most important issue you want to tackle that is within the capacity of your position if you are elected? (No more than 300 words please.)
Education and the Economy go hand in hand because they impact the current and future generations’ ability to thrive and live in peace and unity. In education, I will advocate for school choice, trade schools and apprenticeships. For the economy, I will advocate for more manufacturing jobs, small businesses and lower income taxes for the working and middle classes.
What would success look like if you could address that issue in the way you think it would best be addressed? (No more than 300 words please.)
If educational and economic opportunities were offered to and used by all the people in this district, we would see more young people entering the workforce with high-paying jobs, starting families and owning homes in this district. We would see more businesses opening shop and more money flowing through them. We would have more people keeping more of their hard-earned money to spend or save for the benefit of their families.
How do you propose paying for the resources needed to make it happen? (No more than 300 words please.)
Along with our $7 billion surplus; legalizing marijuana and allowing for statewide online sports betting would provide more than enough revenue to fund what I am advocating for.
