Race Summary
In a rematch of the close 2006 open seat race, former Assembly Speaker John Gard (R) is challenging Rep. Steve Kagen in this GOP-leaning district. The wealthy freshman Democrat had an inauspicious start to his congressional career, having committed several gaffes, and the impressive Gard has already taken to the airwaves knocking the Democratic Congress on gas prices.
