Our roads are the backbone of our community, yet every day, drivers face the frustration and danger of potholes. I’m running for office to ensure that your tax dollars are put to work where they matter most—repairing and maintaining our streets. By allocating a portion of property tax revenue directly to road improvements, we can create a dedicated, long-term solution to fix potholes quickly and prevent future damage.

Well-maintained roads mean safer commutes, lower vehicle repair costs, and increased property values for homeowners. This is an investment in our neighborhoods, our economy, and our quality of life. With your support, we can make sure our streets are smooth, safe, and built to last. Let’s fix our roads the right way—efficiently, transparently, and without unnecessary bureaucracy. Vote for Steve Ratzlaff for Dane County Executive and together, we’ll pave the way to a better future!
