Wisconsin Physician Taking On Democratic Rep. Kagen

[ccharles000]

Another Republican has joined the race to challenge Wisconsin Democratic Rep. Steve Kagen in the 8th District.

The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported Thursday that Marc Trager, a physician, planned a series of announcements in a northeastern district that includes Green Bay and most of Appleton.

In a message on his campaign Web site, Trager says that he will "bring new energy to Congress by working to grow the economy, balance the budget, and protect individual freedoms."

Republicans already challenging Kagen include Reid Ribble, a roof construction company owner; Marc Savard, a county supervisor; and Andy Williams, another county supervisor.

Kagen, who also holds a medical degree, was elected with 51 percent of the vote in 2006 and re-elected with 54 percent in 2008.

CQ Politics presently rates the Wisconsin 8 race as Leans Democratic.

After they tear themselves apart, Kagen will clean up.
