Trager Makes Five

And from what my sources tell me...there will be more.

The Republican field of candidates running to challenge U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen, D-Appleton, gets bigger today as Howard physician Marc Trager announces his run for Congress.

Trager, who served in the U.S. Air Force, will make a number of announcements today across the 8th Congressional District, in Green Bay, Marinette and Appleton.

"Our campaign will target the economic and social issues important to families in the district, bringing new ideas and a fresh approach to the needs of Northeast Wisconsin," Trager said in a release.

Trager filed for candidacy with the Federal Election Commission earlier this week. Other Republican challengers include Marc Savard and Reid Ribble.

Quick question to both Brown Co. Supervisor Andrew Williams and Vilas Co. Blogger/Commentator Kerry Thomas.  I've seen multiple press reports you are both candidates, but I have yet to see either an FEC filing or FEC financial report (especially from Williams who's been announced much, much longer.) from your campaigns.

Is this just an over-sight on your part, or are you still in the exploratory stages of your runs?  Please feel free to contact me either through Facebook or email if you'd like.

It's just something I've been wondering since the middle of October when FEC Financial reports were out and only Misters Ribble and Savard were posted online.
