WI 8th CD will see push for "100 Hours" agenda

An article in The Hill newspaper is outlining a plan by a coalition of liberal leaning groups to build support for the "100 Hours" agenda of Speaker-elect Pelosi and House Democrats. The Green Bay area 8th CD is on the list of 86 Congressional Districts that will be targeted.

The plan looks to build support quickly for numerous items:
The groups will focus their efforts on 54 Republican and 32 Democratic districts, most represented by moderates, hoping to build support for four parts of the Democrats’ “100 Hours” agenda: raising the minimum wage, allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, cutting student-loan interest rates and repealing tax breaks for oil companies.
