* PRESS RELEASE *
PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wisconsin - In a step that vastly separates herself from her Democratic rivals, Marge Krupp, the Democratic candidate for Wisconsin's First Congressional District finished two days of successful endorsement meetings with high-profile groups in Washington D.C. last week. As part of her pledge to run a full-time, professional campaign to reclaim the First District for Wisconsin's working families and seniors, Krupp's trip is seen as proof of the viability of her campaign and the validity of her fundraising ability. Krupp said of her Washington trip, "we have a Democratic candidate running against Paul Ryan that is not just more of the same," Krupp charges, "actively seeking the endorsement of these groups and individuals is one way we're putting together a winning campaign for November." Krupp has raised more that $100,000 dollars since her entry into the race last year.
While in Washington, Marge Krupp met with a variety of groups representing different causes. They included EMILY's List, The United Food and Commercial Workers, The Sierra Club, The National Women's Political Caucus, NARAL, The Brady Campaign, Council for a Livable World, Feminist Majority, AIPAC, American Association of Justice, Women's Campaign Forum, Citizens For Global Solutions, and the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. Krupp also met with members of the Wisconsin Congressional delegation, including Representatives Obey, Kind, and Baldwin. Krupp said of these meetings, "Our campaign is looking for a different approach for this fall as opposed to falls previous, different on everything from fundraising to campaigning and meeting with these individuals is definitely a step towards that direction."
Krupp is hoping to earn the endorsement of all of the groups she met with and the support that those groups can provide in workers for the fall primary and general election. Krupp confidently summed up her effort in D.C. by saying, "You haven't seen anything yet."
