Paul Ryan to Visit Muskego May 3

High Tide will be the stop in Muskego during a round of listening sessions by the 1st District Congressman, who many feel could be a top VP pick.

Wisconsin’s First District Congressman Paul Ryan announced that he will hold a round of listening sessions throughout Southern Wisconsin in early May, with Muskego's High Tide on the list.  Ryan will be visit Muskego on Thursday, May 3, at 9 a.m. "to speak with area residents about solutions to put the federal budget on a path to balance and the nation on a path to prosperity," according to a release from his office.

Ryan offered the following statement: “Many Wisconsinites are rightly frustrated with the direction our country is heading and are looking for leadership from Washington. The Senate has failed to pass a budget in over 1,000 days and the President’s budget ensures a future of debt, doubt and decline - Wisconsinites deserve better. We need to have a serious discussion about what kind of nation we want to be in the 21st century and that is why I have continued to advance solutions that would pay off our debt, strengthen Medicare and critical safety net programs, and expand economic opportunities for all Americans."

“These listening sessions provide a great opportunity for me to discuss the major legislative proposals before Congress, answer questions, and address the concerns of First District residents," he continued. "Wisconsinites remain eager for solutions that will get our economy back on track and I’m looking forward to speaking with those I serve about how we’ll accomplish this together.”
