|---|---|---|---|

| Abortion & Reproductive Health | Manske says abortion is legal in Wisconsin and that he respects the rule of law. He describes himself as personally pro-life, but says decisions about pregnancy should rest with families rather than government mandates or medical providers, and he says he wants to make choosing to have children more affordable. | ● high | |

Top Donors
Andrew Manske’s public finance footprint appears minimal in the sources reviewed. I found a Wisconsin campaign finance registration page for his committee and his campaign website, but no reliable public total raised or donor breakdown in the search results.

Voting Record
No public legislative voting record. No prior elected or executive office found in the sources reviewed, so there is no comparable roll-call or executive-action record to summarize. Sources: https://ballotpedia.org/Andrew_Manske ; https://andymanske4governor.com/
