NORTHERN WI. The Clark for Wisconsin campaign proudly announces the endorsement of Congressman Mark Pocan. Rep. Pocan has served Wisconsin’s 2nd Congressional District since 2013, his tenure marked by principled leadership and a consistent willingness to reach across the aisle to advance bipartisan policy goals.

Prior to his time in Congress, Rep. Pocan served for 14 years in the Wisconsin State Assembly. From 2009 to 2013, Fred Clark had the honor of serving alongside Pocan, where they worked together on issues ranging from conservation to strengthening public education.

In a statement, Rep. Pocan said: “When Fred and I worked together in the Legislature, he showed he can effectively represent rural communities because of his commitment to work with everybody, regardless of their politics. I am confident Fred will do the same in Congress.” Pocan’s statement continued, “Fred will put the people of Northern Wisconsin—who want accessible health care, rural prosperity and clean government—first.”

Responding to this endorsement, Fred Clark said, “Since I’ve known him, Mark Pocan has always demonstrated a commitment to his values and his constituents. I am grateful for the confidence Mark has placed in me, and I look forward to going to work with him to represent Wisconsinites in Congress next year.”

Congressman Pocan’s endorsement comes two weeks after former Congressman David Obey of the 7th Congressional District endorsed Clark. Bolstered by a broad base of support from citizens and civic leaders alike, the Clark for Wisconsin campaign is fully mobilized to return principled, constituent-centered leadership to northern Wisconsin.
