AFP-WI State Director Eric Bott issued the following statement:
“It’s time to come together. Congress has an incredible opportunity to heal the partisan divide in our country by showing Americans that they can work together to curb out-of-control spending, put an end to a harmful trade war, and promote policies that empower individuals to achieve the American Dream. We want Wisconsinites to call on Senator Johnson, and Representatives Kind and Ryan to bring their chambers together to solve important issues before the year runs out.”
