All three say they are focused on election integrity, lowering taxes, pro life, pro 2nd amendment, for universal school choice, against CRT, and against medical mandates. Prior to watching the debate I was set on Mitchels. However, I thought he sounded nervous and his answers were too rehearsed. I thought Kleefisch sounded the most confident and had the most well thought out responses. However, she has been in politics a while and I worry she is like the rest— talk the talk but afraid to walk the walk. Ramthun wasn’t even on my radar until I watched the debate. He seems the most anti swamp, though I worry a vote for him would be wasted since he is polling so far behind the other 2.

Kleefisch was Lieutenant Gov under Scott Walker and has a great track record. Currently slightly behind Mitchels. She was endorsed by an overwhelming amount of GOP officials. However she was endorsed by Pence which is a red flag.

Mitchels is a political outsider. Currently the front runner. Focused on eliminating government waste. Endorsed by Trump, however not endorsed by other GOP officials.

Ramthun is very outspoken and main focus is election integrity. Endorsed by Gen. Flynn and Mike Lindell. He is polling the lowest of the 3.
