Your Representatives

President Barack Obama

President Obama has been able to develop innovative approaches to challenge the status quo and get results. Americans are tired of divisive ideological politics, which is why President Obama has reached out to Republicans to find areas of common ground. He has tried to break partisan logjams and take on seemingly intractable problems. During his tenure in Washington and in the Illinois State Senate, Barack Obama has accumulated a record of bipartisan success.

His 2008 presidential campaign never gained momentum, but Democratic nominee Barack Obama later selected him as his running mate.

Representative Ron Kind

Born and raised in La Crosse, Ron grew up along the Mississippi River with his two brothers and sister, and his parents Greta and Elroy. From early on, his parents taught Ron the western Wisconsin values of hard work and common sense - values he has carried with him to Washington.

Ron's dedication to public service and his deep appreciation for the hardworking people of western Wisconsin inspired him to run for Congress in 1995.  Ron took his western Wisconsin values to Washington as the U.S. Representative to the Third Congressional District in January 1996.
