With a pledge to campaign in every village and township in the First Assembly District, Dick Skare invites you to his campaign kick-off events in Door and Kewaunee Counties. Either event welcomes supporters from throughout the District including eastern Brown County where he announced his campaign last week.

(WASHINGTON, DC)  Congressman Steve Kagen, M.D. welcomed the Affordable Health Care for America Act, the latest version of health care reform legislation that was filed today.

“I am working hard to guarantee access to affordable care for all of us, and the Affordable Health Care for America Act is a huge step in that direction,” said Dr. Kagen.  “For my entire career I have been listening to people tell their health care stories.  For more than thirty years I listened to my patients and I have held countless listening sessions throughout Northeast Wisconsin since 2006.  The message has been clear: Fix what is broken, and improve on what we already have at a price we can all afford to pay.  With the Affordable Health Care for America Act we are doing just that while strengthening and protecting Medicare at the same time.”
