Rep. Mark Pocan, a U.S. Congressman representing Wisconsin's 2nd district since 2013, recently shared several thoughts on social media regarding upcoming events and political developments. The congressman has been active in politics for decades, having served in the Wisconsin State Assembly and the Dane County board of supervisors prior to his current role.
On January 27, 2025, Rep. Pocan announced an event: "Hi everyone, I’m looking forward to seeing you at my upcoming town hall in Madison on Wednesday!" This town hall is expected to provide constituents with an opportunity to engage directly with their representative.
Later that day, Rep. Pocan expressed disapproval over actions taken by former President Donald Trump: "Shame! These people swore an oath to the constitution, not to whatever president happens to be in power. They were doing their jobs and Trump, a convicted felon, fired them for it." This statement reflects Pocan's criticism of Trump's decision-making during his tenure.
On January 28, 2025, Rep. Pocan addressed a significant policy issue: "Trump’s unprecedented decision to suspend ALL federal grants, loans, & other financial aid will have a devastating impact on EVERY community across the country." He further stated that "Congress has the power of the purse," suggesting that such an order should not stand due to its unconstitutional nature.
