LETTER: Pat Kreitlow for the 7th District

To the Telegram:

I live in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, and I will be voting for Pat Kreitlow for Congress. He is on the side of the middle class and supports Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act also known as Obamacare. These federal programs affect the lives of millions; specifically the elderly, persons with disabilities, pregnant women and children, the medically frail and uninsured. I am frightened by the rhetoric of Republican candidates who plan to roll back, privatize or abolish these programs.

Pat Kreitlow believes that politicians in Washington, like his opponent Sean Duffy, support an extreme anti-middle class agenda that gives tax cuts to corporations and the wealthy. If elected, Pat Kreitlow will put the middle class first and restore a sense of security to people who are finding health care costs unaffordable.
