Friend,
Welcome back to the October edition of The NEWsflash, a collection of stories and happenings from Northeast Wisconsin over the past month. October was another busy month where my team and I celebrated local businesses, connected with veterans in our communities, and heard from constituents on important issues.
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,
