Ribble featured at Neumann fundraiser, says he isn't endorsing in Senate primary
U.S. Rep. Reid Ribble is doing a fundraiser later this month for Mark Neumann’s campaign, but he says he’s not endorsing anyone in the race.
Ribble, R-Sherwood, is listed as the special guest for a fundraiser in Green Bay next week with suggested donations of $250 up to $5,000.
Ribble sent WisPolitics.com a statement saying he doesn't plan to endorse anyone in the race, but will help Republican candidates who come to the 8th. He said Neumann asked him to attend the event and would do the same for Tommy Thompson, Jeff Fitzgerald or any other Republican.
Ribble said he’s sent 11 bills to the Senate only for them to die and he’s “offended at the failure of action that’s come from that’s chamber and I’m committed to helping put an additional Republican in that body.”
“I’m not endorsing just one of them but saying that any of them are better than the iron wall that Harry Reid has put up in Washington today and if any of them want my help I’m happy to give it,” Ribble said.
