ASHLAND — Conservative businessman, corporate attorney, and fifth-generation Ashland native Paul Wassgren announced today that he is suspending his campaign for the 7th Congressional District in order to assist Republican efforts throughout Wisconsin and to expand his involvement with the Catholic Church.
“This election has never been about a position or a paycheck for me – it is about serving Wisconsin families and creating economic opportunities for our state. While I have the resources and message to win this race and be a fierce advocate for our district in Congress, I recognize that a bloody and highly expensive primary will only benefit the Democrats. In light of the Spring election results, I call on all Republicans, including candidates, to prioritize the interests of the Republican Party and the State of Wisconsin.”
Wassgren currently serves as the Chairman of the Republican Party of Ashland County. In addition to that responsibility, he will play an active role supporting Congressman Tom Tiffany’s campaign by speaking with groups across Wisconsin about the importance of ensuring Tom is our next governor.
“As our next governor, Tom Tiffany will restore common sense and conservative values to Madison. I will proudly advocate for him during this critical election year for Wisconsin,” he stated.
Wassgren will also remain dedicated to causes central to his personal life, including the Catholic Church.
