The message is unmistakable: "You're off to a good start - now get back up there and finish the job!"

The mandate for positive change rang out across our state and nation. You want less partisanship and more partnership.

I am grateful for your strong show of support, and I am energized by the commanding victory Northeast Wisconsin gave me at the polls.

Now is the time to renew the spark, reinvigorate the spirit, and recommit ourselves to the goal of a working majority for change.

I have no doubt that by working together, we will.

Steve Kagen, M.D.
