Another Republican has joined the race to challenge Wisconsin Democratic Rep. Steve Kagen in the 8th District.

The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported Thursday that Marc Trager, a physician, planned a series of announcements in a northeastern district that includes Green Bay and most of Appleton.

In a message on his campaign Web site, Trager says that he will “bring new energy to Congress by working to grow the economy, balance the budget, and protect individual freedoms.”
