New Candidate for Wisconsin's Eighth Congressional Distirct

Press Gazette reports:

The Republican field of candidates running to challenge U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen, D-Appleton, gets bigger today as Howard physician Marc Trager announces his run for Congress....

"Our campaign will target the economic and social issues important to families in the district, bringing new ideas and a fresh approach to the needs of Northeast Wisconsin," Trager said in a release.

This brings the total Republican candidates to five. If this week's special election in NY taught us anything it is that this cycle will definitely be about contested primaries, which it appears we have.
