Roger Roth: Kagen spins his Washington record

“The people of Wisconsin are fed up with politics as usual, and Mr. Kagen and the Washington politicians are one in the same,” said state representative Roger Roth, 8th congressional candidate.

In an attempt to separate himself from his actual record, Kagen released an email February 10, 2010 that stated, ‘Being fiscally responsible must begin somewhere, so let it start with me.’

In an election year that will see a focus on jobs, Roger Roth will discuss the facts of Kagen’s record and show how Kagen’s votes are hurting our state’s economy.

“Let’s look at Mr. Kagen’s record. He voted to increase the amount Washington can borrow by almost $2 trillion and spent more on office expenditures than any other Member of Congress. Will Mr. Kagen take responsibility for the greater debt he agreed to put on the backs of America’s future generations? Kagen’s record: record spending.”

Roth believes that Washington must be honest with the people of Wisconsin.

“While we are concerned with jobs, jobs, jobs… Mr. Kagen and his Washington friends continue to spend, spend and spend. It seems as though this difficult economy only affects tax payers and not tax collectors.”

A life-long resident of the Fox Valley, Roth resides in the Town of Grand Chute in Outagamie County. He is a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom and participates in his family’s construction business. His uncle is the former Congressman Toby Roth.
