Steve Israel, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Chair

We have an excellent Democratic candidate named Rob Zerban who got into the race largely because he couldn't tolerate Paul Ryan's leadership on a plan to terminate Medicare, while funding tax cuts for big oil companies...So that's one district where the political landscape may change.

Senator Russ Feingold

Rob Zerban understands the struggles of working and middle class families here in Wisconsin, and across the country. Rob Zerban shares my priorities of helping working families, honoring our commitment to our seniors by protecting Social Security and Medicare, safeguarding women's rights, our natural resources, and our rights and freedoms. Most importantly, Rob Zerban shares my commitment to making the economy work for every American, not just the wealthiest among us. That's why I am proud to endorse Rob Zerban in his challenge to Paul Ryan.

Mike Thomas, President of SEIU Wisconsin State Council

Rob Zerban is the best candidate to represent the 1^st Congressional District. For far too long, Wisconsinites have suffered the implications of harmful laws that cut public services like Medicare and Medicaid, and increase the burdens of working and middle class families. It’s time for the 1^stDistrict to have a representative in Congress who will improve our economy while fighting for working families. Rob Zerban is the only candidate who believes that the budget should not be balanced on the backs of the 99%.

Mark Pienkos, Chairman of the 1st Congressional District Democratic Party

In the past, the race in the Wisconsin 1st has not been highly competitive. It appears next year will be different. "I'm classifying this as a battle royale," Pienkos said.

The Journal Times

Cheers erupted and people rose to their feet at the state Democratic Party Convention when Rob Zerban stepped to the microphone Saturday. It's still 17 months before the next congressional election, but already both the state Democratic Party and the national Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee are taking a serious interest in the 1st Congressional District, which includes Racine County. They're standing up behind Zerban, who is running for Ryan's seat.

Mike Tate, Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman

Ryan is the single largest liability for the Republican Party unless Sarah Palin runs for president. He predicted tons of money would flow into the race from both sides of the political divide. The 1st Congressional District is a Democratic district, and it's going to be a Democratic year, and I have every confidence that Rob Zerban will be the next member of Congress.

Rob brings a tremendous profile to this race...couple that with Paul Ryan and his extremist plan. We could be seeing a perfect storm here.

Sly, Sly in the Morning (radio show)

Paul Ryan is on his heels and his election in 2012 will undoubtedly be competitive. Zerban is the man for the job and would be a much needed voice of reason in the House of Representatives.
