 Sensenbrenner Announces Candidacy for Re-election

Menomonee Falls, WI – Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner (WI-05), today announced he is again a candidate for re-election to represent Wisconsin’s 5^th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

 “As I first announced earlier this year, I am a candidate for re-election in 2010.  The critical issues before us today are directly affecting our quality of life.  I want to continue the battle to improve our economy, restore jobs and reduce government spending.  My strong record demonstrates my commitment to individual freedom and less government intrusion in our lives.  I stand ready to continue my representation of these core principles.

 “I have the opportunity to listen to my constituents at the hundreds of town hall meetings and office hours that I hold each year throughout the 5^th Congressional District.  I am humbled by the support from those I represent and I look forward to continuing to represent them in the manner in which they have become accustomed – with a clear, common-sense message of telling it like it is,” Sensenbrenner said.

 Sensenbrenner has served in Congress since 1978.  He and his wife Cheryl have two adult sons, Frank and Bob.
