Andrew Hysell completedBallotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Hysell's responses.
Expand all |Collapse all
- I'm a fierce advocate for protecting our individual rights and liberties. I will introduce an amendment to the Wisconsin state constitution to create an individual right to privacy to protect abortion, contraception and same-sex marriage. This amendment will protect these rights from any future legislature, governor or supreme court majority.
- Strengthening our public education system is a priority. The responsibility for funding of Wisconsin's public education must be shifted away from localities and back to the state where it belongs. Expanding funding for wrap around services like Community Schools, early learning programs and quality childcare are necessary.
- I am a strong supporter of Organized Labor. Unions provide good-paying jobs, excellent healthcare benefits and ensure a secure retirement.
I am passionate about protecting a women's right to choose a safe and legal abortion.

Scorecards
Ascorecard 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.
