Angelito Tenorio

Economy

I will be a tireless advocate for working families and will fight for more good paying union jobs in our community. I will also prioritize supporting small businesses. I believe small businesses are a big part of what makes West Allis and District 14 as a whole a vibrant community. Learn more

Education

I will fight to increase funding to our public education system so that finally it has the proper resources to serve students of all abilities: specialized training for educators, enhancement of special education programming, and providing current technology and infrastructure. I will also fight for policies that will reduce class sizes and ensure there are adequate supports within schools to support all students by establishing mental health services. If we truly prioritize these initiatives, then we can build an education system that is truly inclusive in nature and serves to foster the success of every student. Learn more

Environment / Energy

We must invest in our incredible parks and recreational areas. I promise to fight for clean air, clean land, and clean water for all people. We must accelerate our transition to 100% clean energy and promote good paying green union jobs for a sustainable infrastructure and a green economy. Learn more

Clean drinking water is also a top conservation issue community members care about. Lead contamination in addition to sediment, toxins, and heavy metals have threatened the safety of our drinking water. I believe that the legislature needs to provide local communities like West Allis with the resources they need to fix our water supply and modernize our infrastructure. Learn more

Government Reform

We must make voting easier and more accessible for everyone in the state. I believe Wisconsin can do more to make our elections more accessible by implementing automatic voter registration, eliminating the need for voter IDs, increasing access to absentee voting, allowing and encouraging ballot dropboxes, and increasing the number of days for early voting. Learn more

Guns

I believe in universal background checks, banning assault weapons, waiting periods for firearm purchases, and other common sense measures to make our community safer. Learn more

Healthcare

I will fight for Medicaid expansion in Wisconsin. I believe that it has become far too difficult and unaffordable for our fellow Wisconsin citizens to access high quality healthcare. I plan to fight to make affordable, good healthcare a reality for everyone in our state because I believe healthcare is a human right. In my time in the Assembly, I will fight to expand access to healthcare. I’m not afraid to challenge Wisconsin pharmaceutical and healthcare monopolies head-on, and I will always advocate for Medicaid expansion to help working families. Learn more

Housing

I support policies that encourage more affordable housing development, including incentives and public investment in building more housing. I believe in investing in high density, multifamily housing which would help with lowering housing costs. In addition, I believe that tenant rights need be strengthened in Wisconsin. I also believe in measures for fair renting. I also support down payment assistance and the creation of alternative mortgage choices that make it easier for families to buy their first home.

Wages / Job Benefits

I am a strong advocate for increasing the minimum wage to a living wage. 15 per hour is a good start, but I believe we have to go beyond 15 to make sure wages can support families and keep up with inflation and cost of living. Learn more

I support repealing Act 10. Act 10 is horrible for workers and for Wisconsin as a whole, so I will do everything we can to repeal Act 10. I believe in giving power back to the people and restoring all collective bargaining rights. Learn more

I am strongly against Right to Work Laws, which have been detrimental to the wellbeing of workers here in Wisconsin and across the country. Workers, and unions, should be free to organize, and Right to Work Laws are designed to create barriers to that collective organizing. I will always be a vocal advocate for repealing Wisconsin’s Right to Work Law. Learn more

I strongly support increasing the state minimum tipped wage. Restaurant workers and other people who earn a living through tips deserve a living tipped wage. Learn more
