Issue Position: Preserving Our Heritage

Issue Position

Protecting Our Constitutional Rights
Hunting and fishing are important parts of the fabric of Wisconsin. As someone who enjoys these traditions in our great outdoors, I am always looking for ways to protect our heritage and preserve it for the next generation. We have been aggressive in promoting ways to improve the outdoor experience in Wisconsin.

As Governor, I take an oath to uphold our federal and state constitutions. At the federal level, the Founders clearly defined our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. And at the state level, I voted to amend our state Constitution to include similar language.

During my time as Governor, I've signed into law concealed carry and castle doctrine legislation. Both of these reforms help law-abiding citizens protect themselves and their property. I am honored to have an "A+" rating from the National Rifle Association for my record of standing up for freedom and our constitutional rights.

The Wisconsin Walleye Initiative is one of our big successes for those who enjoy fishing in our 15,000 inland lakes. We also improved ways to get more young people involved in our hunting and fishing heritage.
