There seems to be little or no discussion of the possibility of Paul Ryan losing his congressional seat, and I know he is popular in his district. However, he has a lot of baggage in a state that DID NOT vote for trump in the primary. And he has solid opposition in Ryan Solen, an Iraq war veteran.
Here are some highlights from Solen’s website (link to site is above):
Some of the things that I believe will help us the most:
• Balance the budget and pay-off the national debt to put the ~$260 Billion in interest payments to better use.
• Universal health care to ensure a healthy and productive population.
• Investment in our crumbling infrastructure.
• Reform university tuition and student loan regulations.
• Revise and simplify the tax code.
• Protect Social Security; raise the taxable income cap on it, and prevent any privatization of the system.
• Strict term limits on the Senate and the House of Representatives.
If elected, I would make the needs of the country my highest priority instead of focusing on re-election. This country is still great. The ideals and principles the country was founded on are still strong. Thank you for consideration of my candidacy and I look forward to serving you in the future.
How about making a contribution to help Mr. Solen defeat Speaker Ryan on November 8?
