Kohl On Smart Money Magazine's Power 30 List

Every day, I come to work honored to serve as your United States senator and eager to do a good job for the people of Wisconsin. Humbled to be recognized for that work, I wanted to share with you this week’s cover story in Smart Money magazine, “Power 30: The World’s Most Influential Players,” which highlights some of the work I’ve been doing as your senator from Wisconsin. Here is a link to the story.

And this is the section that mentions some of my work:

Herb Kohl
U.S. Senator 

Why does a soon-to-retire 76-year-old senator from Wisconsin rank among our Power 30? As chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, the four-term Democrat is considered by many a linchpin in any near-term plan to address the solvency of Social Security and Medicare. Republican public-policy consultant Scott Becher says the senator's effective problem solving overshadows his political affiliation and has earned him fans across the aisle. Oh, and then there's Kohl's side job. No, not his ownership of the Milwaukee Bucks, the other thing: As the man leading the antitrust hearings on Google, he's one of the few people around who can make CEO Larry Page sweat.

Thank you for the opportunity to work on these and many other issues that affect people of all ages, across our state and our country.
