Paul Ryan Sets Racine Listening Session

The Janesville Congressman will hold his first Racine listening session since the 2012 election.

U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan has set a listening session in Racine, his first since running for vice president in the 2012 election. However, Ryan did speak in Caledonia at an event sponsored by the Racine Tea Party about the Obama's Affordable Care Act in January.

The meeting will be held from 11:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Wednesday at the Cesar Chavez Community Center, 2221 Douglas Ave., in Racine.

Ryan said in a news release that he will answer questions, address residents' concerns and discuss major legislative proposals before Congress.

"I am looking forward to talking with those I serve about the common-sense solutions needed to get our country and our economy back on track," Ryan said.

The listening session is one of eight Ryan has scheduled in southeastern Wisconsin from April 29-May 2.

While Ryan has not held a listening session in Oak Creek since the election, he visited the Oak Creek Fire Department last fall on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

He was also in town just four days before his selection as Mitt Romney's running mate, attending a candlelight vigil for Sikh temple shooting victims.
