Friend,
Welcome back to the July edition of The NEWsflash, a collection of stories and happenings from Northeast Wisconsin over the past month. July was a busy month that included everything from celebrating milestones for local businesses to recognizing the work of Eagle Scouts.
I've included some photos and highlights from a few of the events my team and I were able to attend. You can also find information on how my office can help you with any federal problem you may have. As always, please don't hesitate to contact my office if we can ever be of assistance.
Semper Fi,

Safety First: On July 11, a member of my staff joined members of the Oconto Falls community to break ground on their new fire station. The new fire station will be built in the southern part of the city and will include updated modern amenities that will improve overall capabilities of the department, such as five double bay doors. I am looking forward to the project's success!
