ASHLAND, WI (WSAU-WAOW) -Conservative businessman and attorney Paul Wassgren launched his campaign to represent the 7th Congressional District.
Current congressman, Republican Tom Tiffany, is running for governor.
In a news release, Paul says his platform will focus on the needs of Northern Wisconsin:
- Creating economic opportunity
- Fighting back against lawfare
- Building stronger communities
- Protecting Wisconsin’s outdoor heritage
“Growing up in Ashland was the ideal childhood experience – fishing and boating in the summer, jumping in piles of leaves in the fall, and throwing snowballs and skiing in the winter. Economic opportunities were plentiful, and social problems like homelessness, violent crime, and addiction were scarce,” Paul said. “I’m running for Congress because we need more successful businessmen like Donald Trump and Ron Johnson to shake up the status quo and revitalize our communities.”
Paul is a fifth generation Ashland resident whose family owned the Mountain Valley Cheese Factory in Bayfield County. While still in high school, Paul became one of the youngest licensed stock and bond brokers in U.S. history, passing the New York Stock Exchange General Securities Licensing Exam at age 17.
Republican Jessi Ebben and Democrat Fred Clark have also launched campaigns.
