Russ Feingold has yet to say a word, publicly, about the possibility of a rematch with U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. But Republicans aren't wasting any time in launching attacks against the Democratic former senator.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee sent a press release on Tuesday calling attention to Feingold's role in passing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, enacted six years ago today.
"With Russ Feingold plotting his return to power, it’s worth remembering that when he voted for the failed $830 billion stimulus he claimed spending programs would balance our budget," the release reads.
Feingold served in the Senate from 1993 to 2011, after being ousted by Johnson in the GOP wave of 2010. Since 2013, he has served as a special envoy to the Great Lakes region of Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Many progressive activists hoped he would run against Gov. Scott Walker in the 2012 recall, though Feingold later said he wouldn't have won even if he had run. - The Cap Times, 2/17/15
DSCC Chairman Jon Tester (D. MT) has been meeting with Feingold about reclaiming his old seat. It's highly possible Feingold would seek a rematch but if you want to help persuade him to run, you can sign the 21St Century Democrats petition urging him to return to the Senate:
