No magic formula to more jobs, just create the environment
Study after study demonstrates people want to live and businesses want to locate where there are great schools, good transportation, safe streets, recreation opportunities, clean air and water, and amenities--all things that are the traditional
jobs of the public sector. If the public sector does these things well, does its own job well, our communities will thrive, businesses will locate, jobs will come." What the state can do is create an environment in which the private sector thrives.

Bob Harlow:
Undo Act 10; restore collective bargaining rights
Bob Harlow, who finished in last place during a 2016 congressional primary in California, was the first candidate to officially jump in. He told FOX6 News that last year's congressional race was a sort of trial run. "I think I've always
wanted to run for governor of Wisconsin, and now I have an opportunity," Harlow said. "There's a core energy behind our campaign." Harlow pledges to undo Act 10, the 2011 law that stripped most public workers of their collective bargaining rights.

Bob Harlow:
Repeal Walker's legislation that banned unionized workplaces
Repeal Scott Walker's legislation that banned unionized workplaces: I am a steadfast supporter of unions. Unions give a strong political voice to Wisconsinites, protect our rights in the workplace, and help make sure that
Wisconsinites get a fair deal for the work they do. That's why the first thing I will do as Governor is repeal Scott Walker's legislation that banned unionized workplaces.
Immediately restore the right of public employees to bargain collectively: I support our teachers and public employees, and I will immediately restore the right of public employees to bargain collectively. I have so much respect for the talented
Wisconsinites who work hard every day to make our state a better place to live and work. As Governor, I will work collaboratively with Wisconsin's outstanding public employees to innovate on and improve every department of government.
