KAGEN RAISES $1.1 MILLION TO KEEP WORKING FOR POSITIVE CHANGE
Congressman to Report Strong Support From Nearly 940 Individual Donors
(APPLETON) — Saying that his fundraising success will help him keep working for positive change, Congressman Steve Kagen M.D. announced that he will report more than $1.1 million raised to date in his re-election campaign, including $230,000 from nearly 940 individual donors during the first quarter of this year.
“Wisconsin voters agree with our record of helping to build a better nation for all of us,” Kagen said. “I appreciate their generosity in making sure we have the resources to continue our progress and to prevent a return to the failed policies of the past.”
In quarterly fundraising reports due today, Kagen will show a total of $230,000 raised from 939 individual donors, 82 percent of whom live in Wisconsin, including 619 donors who gave $200 or less.
Kagen’s strong support shows that he has more than $760,000 cash on hand as of March 31.
A native of Appleton, Kagen serves on the Agriculture and Transportation Committee and has sponsored legislation to defend Wisconsin jobs against China’s trade practices. He met earlier this month with China’s Ambassador to the U.S. to express the concerns of Northeast Wisconsin families and businesses over that country’s dumping of illegal paper products into the domestic marketplace.
Kagen has also urged the Bush Administration to take action against the increasing ownership of key U.S. assets by foreign interests, arguing that other countries and distant corporations should not be
allowed to control the U.S. economy.
