Tonight Michele Lyksett from Central St. Croix News sent me a questionnaire. My answers are below.
Your name as it will appear on the ballot: James Stauffer
Have you served in this office previously? (If, yes when and/or how long) No
Have you served in any other political offices? (If so, what offices and when?) No
What is your occupation? Software Engineer
How long have you lived in the municipality? 4 years in Hammond township (20 years in St. Croix County)
Family information: Wife: Annette; 5 children: Anna, Joseph, William, Joel, and Edward
Why are you seeking this office?
I want to represent the 8th district to minimize taxes and other costs while keeping county services high-quality. I would also like to make the county board meetings more accessible by changing the time to the evening so that it is more convenient for residents, and by posting meetings recordings online such as on youtube.com so that all residents can freely view the meetings at convenient times.
What do you see as three of the biggest issues facing your municipality AND what do you see as the board’s role dealing with them?
I think three of the largest issues facing us are unemployment, housing foreclosures, and government growth. The county board can help relieve those problems by minimizing taxes and other costs. When taxes are lower, unemployment checks go farther, more jobs are created, and it is easier to make mortgage payments (or sell if that is needed). The county board can also help the county be as minimally invasive as possible.
