Ron Kind

Actually, Van Orden did a debate in 2022.

The last debate in the third was in 2020 when Van Orden ran against Ron Kind and lost that race.

So this is going to be an interesting opportunity for the both of them.

You know, Van Orden is quite aggressive on social media and going after people.

And that's what we as citizens in our country of a democracy have to do.

I'm Representative Ron Kind.

I represent the 3rd Congressional District of Western Wisconsin.

I ran for Congress because I hope to make a difference in people's lives.

Dow said the federal appropriation secured in 2022 by U.S.

Senator Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisconsin, and then-Representative Ron Kind, D-Wisconsin, was the lifeline of the project.

I dare say that we'd likely not be here in this facility if we had not received these monies, he said.

A fundraising committee raised the remaining $1.5 million from community donors, even surpassing the fundraising goal.

Yeah, it's always been an area that swings.

I mean, again, Ron Kind held that area for 20 years or something like that, a long time.

But You have people like Todd Novak, like Travis Tranel, like Howard Marklein, who could win in Democrat-leaning areas like D-plus-one or D-plus-two areas and hold those areas for a long time.

Same at Brooks when he was alive, held that area that was always considered a swing or one of the Dems' top targets.

The Republicans made a, made an agreement with the Democrats.

The Democrats won't oppose Ron Kind in this district, and the Republicans won't g- won't, uh, oppose Tammy Baldwin in your district.

They're gonna, uh, let the Democrats have their way, and they're gonna withdraw, and you're gonna be, you're gonna lose." And sure enough-

Yeah
