Jonathan Wichmann in 2022 WI Governor's race
On Technology:
Big Tech companies should become non-profits
After years of misinformation, security breaches, abhorrent labor practices and election meddling, politicians have decided it's time to regulate tech companies. If tech companies are serious about serving the public good, they should become
non-profits. All the problems afflicting the industry stem from the focus on short-term profits. Removing the profit motive from these companies will rid them of this pressure and give them the freedom to act in accordance with their stated missions.

On Principles & Values:
I often rely on my Christian faith to guide me
I often rely on my Christian faith to guide me to make choices that are right for me and my family--and when it comes to government, we have been given the tools to succeed if we only use them. Currently, we are facing a global pandemic that is putting
our state and our country on the brink of an economic catastrophe. The fear that has been instilled in people is leaving many paralyzed into submission and our current leadership is making reactive choices with long-stemming consequences.

On Principles & Values:
Claimed insurrection was led by "Antifa" without evidence
Jonathan Wichmann posted a YouTube video Jan. 8, 2021: "A meeting between DC police and rioters / Antifa beforehand. If you don't know that the DC looting was staged think again." The accompanying video shows one man taking a selfie with what appears to
be a Capitol Police officer while someone says, "Hey Cap" twice. It takes place inside the U.S. Capitol.But Wichmann's claim flies in the face of a litany of evidence without presenting any reasonable evidence itself. Wichmann did not respond to an
array of messages seeking a defense of his claim.
A growing number of protesters have been identified and connected to long histories supporting Trump, QAnon and far-right causes.
This includes people some have claimed were Antifa activists. There is no credible evidence that the crowd was infiltrated or led by Antifa activists in disguise. We rate Wichmann's claim Pants on Fire.
