Newsmaker Luncheon to feature Feingold

Readers of MKEpolitics, BizTimes Milwaukee and WisPolitics are invited to attend the Milwaukee Press Club’s next Newsmaker Luncheon, which will feature U.S.  Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) on Monday, Aug. 23.
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.

Feingold will be interviewed the luncheon by a panel of journalists. The event will be moderated by BizTimes Milwaukee executive editor Steve Jagler.
