Is Paul Ryan afraid to debate?

Mount Pleasant, WI- Ryan Solen immediately contacted Paul Ryan’s campaign after he won Wisconsin’s Democratic primary to run to represent the 1st Congressional District. Solen wanted to arrange a debate between the two candidates to be held before the start of Congress on September 6. After 15 days without a response to multiple requests, Ryan Solen now asks why Paul Ryan won’t respond.

Ryan Solen is committed to working with members of all parties in the House. He is open to hearing and considering all arguments on all topics. Paul Ryan may think he can coast in this election on his name recognition but is he really working to earn his votes?

Ryan Solen is talking with everyone he can and will work to support legislation in Congress that will help the needs of the community. Ryan Solen is a Democrat but he is for Wisconsin and America before his party.
