CNN To Broadcast Speaker Paul Ryan Racine Town Hall

RACINE, WI — Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Janesville) will be the focus of a live town hall broadcast by CNN on Aug. 21 in Racine, Wis.

Ryan will take questions from an audience of Wisconsin First District constituents. Recently, Speaker Ryan traveled around the First District to talk about the need for tax reform. Anchor Jake Tapper will moderate the live event from Racine, Wisconsin, as Ryan prepares to return to Capitol Hill to address looming deadlines on the 2018 federal budget and the need to address the debt ceiling.

“I’m always looking for new opportunities to hear from with the people I work for here in the First District,” Ryan said. “Their priorities and concerns inform the work I do in Washington, and I’m excited to continue the dialogue at this event.”
