Obama is scheduled to begin the event at 12:10 p.m. at Green Bay Southwest High School.
“I’m happy to know that the president has the same idea as the people of the 8th (Congressional) District,” Kagen said during a conference call. “I’m also happy that the president has chosen Green Bay, Wisconsin, because he really wants to listen to ordinary people, the hard-working people of Northeastern Wisconsin.”
Kagen said he expects Obama to focus on the need for major change in health care coverage, a plan to guarantee coverage for everyone, and decreasing costs to help stimulate the economy by creating more jobs.
