Duke takes great pride that he has always done his best to be the best husband & father he can be while also serving the community. Duke looks to serve the 75th District people in what he calls a “Continuation of Service”. Politicians are to serve with Integrity and respect shown to all citizens.- I'm new to politics and proud to call myself a politician. Politicians are to serve the people with integrity and respect shown to all...and that's how I will serve. Government, at any level, doesn't belong in your personal life and should budget its spending with a great amount of respect for hard working taxpayers, while also:
• Promoting Strong Family Values • Community Safety- Drug Related Crimes • Recruiting & Retaining Law Enforcement Officers • Protecting our 2nd Amendment Rights • Protecting and Restoring Private Property Rights • Solve Problems without being Divisive/Negative
• Promoting Community Service Programs Inmates - Education- We need to focus our education system more towards preparing students to be self-supporting soon after high school graduation. This includes sticking closer to core curriculum subjects of science, arithmetic, reading, civics, history, and STEM. In order to become self-supporting soon after graduation, young adults should have a basic knowledge of what type of employment they would be interested in, have a basic understanding of personal finance, an interview process, and receive drivers education training. Some schools in the district do not offer drivers education as an available class. Almost every job in the district available to young adults, require a means of transportation.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
Below you can find the scorecards found for the Wisconsin State Legislature in 2025.
