We Need a Serious Leader Like Kyle Kilbourn
Those of us who live in northwestern Wisconsin desperately need a serious leader who understands the challenges we face in the 7th Congressional District. We need a leader who will bring fresh, energetic leadership to Congress.
Kyle Kilbourn will be that serious leader. He is the candidate we need to elect this November.
Kyle Kilbourn will work to keep our air and water clean. The incumbent representative, Tom Tiffany, does the opposite. He consistently opposes conservation measures and environmental protections. For example, he has voted to cut spending for environmental programs to their lowest levels in decades, including a 40 percent cut for the Environmental Protection Agency. (Maybe that’s why he’s often called Toxic Tom).
Kyle Kilbourn also will protect Social Security and Medicare. Compare that withTiffany, who helped write a Republican plan to raise the retirement age for Social Security. He also helped write a Republican budget that would gut Medicare by slashing billions of dollars from the program.
Medicare currently provides a guaranteed level of payment for doctor visits and hospital coverage. Tiffany supports making Medicare a voucher plan in which those guarantees would disappear. Vouchers would lead to reduced coverage, annual and lifetime caps, higher deductibles, and skyrocketing cost increases.
If you believe our Congressional representative should work on policies to help us thrive, rather than spend most of his time stoking fear, hate, and culture wars like Tiffany—vote for Kyle Kilbourn in November. (And remember you can vote early, too.)
