Randy Bryce is a U.S. Army veteran, cancer survivor, and union ironworker. He joined the race for Wisconsins 1st Congressional District because his values are our neighbors values, and Washington has gotten way off track.

Randy was raised in southeastern Wisconsin, and went to public schools. After graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, and was posted to Honduras, where he earned the Army Achievement Medal. Randys father was a police officer, and his mother worked in a doctors office. His sister is a public school teacher.

After returning stateside, Randy was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He didnt believe he could ever have children, and now calls his only son Ben, his miracle child. Ben is a public school student like his dad was.

Randy found his way to an apprenticeship as an iron worker, and has now been helping to build America for more than 20 years. Hes been active in Ironworkers Local 8, serving as political coordinator for the union, and until recently as a member of the Milwaukee Area Labor Council board of directors.

My mother has multiple sclerosis, my father is in assisted living, and I survived cancer in my 20s to have a miracle child in my 40s, said Bryce. What Paul Ryan and the Republicans are doing to take health care away from millions of us, to make it cost more and cover less, and to allow the protections weve gained to be stripped away its just unacceptable.

Randy currently serves as President of the Wisconsin Veterans Chamber of Commerce board of directors, and as Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin Veterans Caucus. He resides in Caledonia.
