Wisconsin Senator makes Stop in Superior

U.S. Senator Ron Johnson made a stop in Superior Tuesday. 

He continued his 2016 campaign kick-off tour at Ryan Manufacturing. 

Johnson has pushed for fewer regulations on small local businesses. 

On Monday, he talked about those campaign priorities and toured the facility. 

Johnson says his personal history as a business owner and experience in the private sector is what sets him apart as a Senator. 

“Those owner operated businesses that are the back bone of the Wisconsin economy and the American economy, they’re supporting me because they recognize that it’s my experience, my perspective, coming from a manufacturing background that understands what they’re trying to go through trying to create those good paying jobs and expand their operations,” said Johnson.

Johnson is being challenged by Democrat Russ Feingold. 

He defeated Feingold back in 2010 to win his Senate seat.
