About Will Martin

Hi, I am Will Martin, and I am seeking the Republican nomination to become the next Lieutenant Governor of the State of Wisconsin. I am not a politician. I have been a small business owner for over 20 years, and am the only candidate who has four years of senior leadership experience in housing, workforce, and economic development serving in Wisconsin’s Executive Branch under Govs Tommy Thompson and Scott Walker as well as over six additional years reforming and privatizing government services. Like so many Wisconsinites, I understand what it is like to run a small business…to work hard, deliver quality customer service, and have to meet expenses, including paying federal, state, and local taxes. However, I also have been honored to serve multiple Governors in leadership roles across multiple agencies. As Lieutenant Governor, I will put my public- and private-sector experience to work helping our next Governor reform state government, wring out bureaucratic redundancy, and reduce taxes for Wisconsin’s small business owners and families. Our people and companies have been through unprecedented times, including a months-long shutdown of many sectors of the economy. Hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites lost their jobs. Some lost the businesses their families and employees had worked so hard to build. Others lost their savings and even housing. Now, we are facing rising crime with a broken bail system that allows violent repeat offenders back on the streets; housing prices and rents that are increasingly out of reach for many; and record inflation, which also affects how much hardworking Wisconsinites are paying in gas, sales, and property taxes. Many companies of all sizes are struggling to attract and retain the skilled workforce they need to compete. In these uncertain times, it is more important than ever to have experienced leadership in our next Governor and Lieutenant Governor. Experience matters, and I bring a unique blend of experiences to this campaign. Wisconsin’s comeback story is not inevitable. It requires leadership, experience, and bringing us together—from Barron to Beloit and Kenosha to Cornucopia. Wisconsin’s comeback story begins with you. If this message resonates with you, I hope you will join me and support this campaign through your prayers, your endorsements, and your financial donations…by calling, texting, and emailing your family, friends, and neighbors…or hosting a virtual or in-person fundraiser or friendraiser. Thanks for consideration. God bless you and Wisconsin, the greatest state in the greatest nation.
