WASHINGTON – Wisconsin’s First District Congressman Paul Ryan announced that he will hold a round of listening sessions throughout Southern Wisconsin later in October. Congressman Ryan will be visiting 6 communities over 3 days to speak with residents and discuss solutions that would put the budget on path to balance and the nation on a Path to Prosperity.

In advance of the listening sessions, Congressman Ryan issued the following statement:

“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. With the nation’s debt exceeding $14 trillion and job creation virtually stagnant, Wisconsinites remain eager for solutions and hopeful that leaders in Washington will help get our economy back on track.

I have continued to support bipartisan ideas to create jobs and have advanced legislation that shows how the government can balance its budget, strengthen the social safety net, and make our tax code simple, fair and globally competitive. Working together, we can rise to meet our nation’s fiscal and economic challenges and I’m looking forward to speaking with those I serve about how we’ll accomplish this.”

A complete schedule of the upcoming listening sessions follows this release and can be accessed online here.
