Zerban Submits 230% of Required Nomination Signatures Today

"The message is clear: Paul Ryan must be held accountable for his 14 years of failed decisions"

Today, Rob Zerban, the small businessman challenging Congressman Paul Ryan, submited rougly 2,300 nomination signatures from all parts of Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District - nearly 230% of the required amount!

Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board requires Congressional candidates to submit 1,000 signatures to qualify for the November ballot, with a maximum of submitting 2,000 signatures.

"I've heard from people across the district and the political spectrum and the message is clear: Paul Ryan must be held accountable for his 14 years of failed decisions," Zerban said.

"The support I've received around the 1st Congressional District is overwhelming. People are hungry for a change from Paul Ryan's fiscal phonyism and want someone with actual budgeting experience working for them. I'm honored they have placed their support squarely behind me."
