Democrat Ryan Solen in Day 8 of no response from Paul Ryan

re: debate request and ask the people of Wisconsin and America for help

Mount Pleasant, WI- One week ago, Ryan Solen reached out to Paul Ryan to request a debate to be held before the start of the next session of Congress. Ryan Solen had just become the Democratic nominee to represent Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District and was looking forward to engaging in this great American campaign tradition. Paul Ryan simply did not respond to Ryan Solen even after Tim Bremel, host of “Your Talk Show” and Operations Manager for WCLO AM-1230 made the generous offer to facilitate, host, and/or moderate a debate between the candidates in the greater Janesville, WI, area, hometown of Paul Ryan. Tim Bremel reported that Paul Ryan’s campaign had a “lukewarm” response which is more of a response than Ryan Solen has received.

Ryan Solen is now making an appeal to the people of the 1st Congressional District, of Wisconsin, and of the United States: ask Paul Ryan why he will not agree to a debate before the next session of Congress. Ask him why he will not even respond to Ryan Solen. Ask him if this is indicative of his obstruction in the House and his refusal to work with other parties. The people can call Paul Ryan’s campaign headquarters in Janesville at 608-754-8099, his Washington, D.C., office at 202-225-3031, or his constituent offices in Janesville at 888-909-RYAN (7926), in Kenosha at 262-654-1901, and in Racine at 262-637-0510.

It has been eight days since the first request was made. The House will be in session again September 6.
