Kind to chair New Democrat Coalition
U.S. Rep. Ron Kind has been elected leader of the centrist New Democrat Coalition.
Kind, D-La Crosse, has been a member of the organization since 1997 and vice chair since 2003. The group of more than 50 lawmakers advocates "pro-growth strategies."
"We have an opportunity now to find ways to work across the aisle and bring our country back together again," Kind said in a statement. "The New Democrat Coalition can play a critical role in achieving that."
