MILWAUKEE – U.S. Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) will be the featured guest at the Milwaukee Press Club’s next Newsmaker Luncheon.
The event will take place on Monday, August 23, from 11:45 to 1:30 p.m. at the Newsroom Pub in downtown Milwaukee at 137 E. Wells St.
Feingold was first elected to the Senate in 1992 and was re-elected in 1998 and 2004.
He will face the winner of the Republican primary between Republican businessman Ron Johnson of Oshkosh and Watertown businessman David Westlake in the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 2. Polls have indicated the race between Feingold and the GOP frontrunner Johnson is in a dead heat.
The Press Club is presenting the candidates of the key races in Wisconsin politics in an ongoing series of Newsmaker Luncheons. Westlake was featured earlier in the year, and plans are being made to secure a date to feature Johnson.
A panel of professional journalists will interview Feingold during the Newsmaker Luncheon.
The Milwaukee Press Club’s Newsmaker Luncheon Series is sponsored by Journal Communications and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
