WI-01: Racine County Democrat launches bid for Congress, challenging Rep. Bryan Steil
A Racine County nurse is the latest Democrat challenging U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil in the 1st Congressional District.
Mitchell Berman, a political newcomer, announced his bid for the congressional seat early Tuesday morning.
In a statement, Berman introduced himself as a Veterans Affairs and emergency room nurse, a first-generation college graduate and union member from the village of Raymond.
“As a nurse, I’ve seen patients forced to choose between care and paying rent while Washington looks the other way,” Berman said. “I’m running for Congress because our health and well-being should come first, not corporate profits.”
