About

Stephen Ratzlaff

A Better Dane County Starts Now

I believe property taxes can—and should—be cut by 30%. Families across Dane County are feeling the strain, and I know firsthand how important it is to balance a budget.

Wisconsin-born, a long-time resident of DeForest, married, and having raised two children who are now young adults, I understand the challenges families face in making ends meet.

Working for Wisconsin-based Steinhafels, I’ve seen how families make tough financial choices every day. As an EMT, I’ve also seen how essential services can be delivered efficiently—ensuring help reaches those who truly need it without wasting resources.

I’m committed to cutting wasteful spending while protecting public safety, infrastructure, and community services. I believe in working across party lines to make government more efficient and accountable. By promoting smart budgeting and economic growth, we can provide relief to taxpayers without sacrificing the services that matter most.

Dane County needs a common-sense, fiscally responsible approach—one that works for everyone. Join me in making our county more affordable, efficient and effective for all.

30% Property Tax Cut in Dane County To Sustain Housing & Keep Up with Future Property Tax Raises!

On Average, Dane County is Spending $2 million per annum to house 40 foreigners in the County jail. We don’t need to do that.

PROPERTY TAXES

“It’s time to turn your home into the foundation of your freedom.”

Concerned about rising property taxes? Governor Evers used his line-item veto to guarantee property tax increases every year for the next 400 years. It’s time for Dane County Leadership that puts taxpayers first.
