RACINE — After several weeks of consideration, state Rep. Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, has announced he will not enter the race for the 1st Congressional District, but will seek re-election to the seat he holds in the Assembly.The congressional seat is currently held by House Speaker Paul Ryan, who announced in April that he will not seek re-election in November.Barca said the late announcement by Ryan made “a possible run nearly impossible, given the head start some have and the obvious advantages Ryan will certainly provide to his hand-selected successor.”“My No. 1 goal has always been to ensure that the citizens of our region have responsive representation that reflects our values and vision for our community, state and nation,” Barca said in a statement. “Now that I have taken the time to carefully assess this option, it would take a Herculean effort to piece together a winning campaign and would be further complicated given the prior … [Read more...] about State Rep.

Sep 24, 8:22 PM EDT Newsletter Signup BusinessTechnologyWorldNationalMedia & CultureOpinionSportsLuxury World By Thomas ALLNUTT 09/24/19 AT 8:04 PM Lionel Messi endured yet more injury frustration on Tuesday after going off at half-time against Villarreal but Barcelona gave their coach Ernesto Valverde some much-needed relief with a comfortable 2-1 victory.Messi received treatment in the first half for what looked like a problem with his left thigh and was then unable to continue after the interval, replaced by Ousmane Dembele.His withdrawal will be a major concern for Barca, particularly given this was Messi's first start of the season after just recovering from a niggling calf injury sustained at the start of August.After the match, Valverde struck a note of calm."When something happens to Messi, everyone stops, not only on the field, but in the stands as well," he said."It is a small problem in the adductor and as a precaution we have decided not to risk it.

When FC Barcelona struck a deal to acquire Brazilian football sensation Neymar Santos Jr. last summer, it was believed he would become the future of their world famous offense. Ironically, the same transfer that brought Brazil's #10 over from Brazilian football club Santos FC has pushed the team into a defensive position. When Sandro Rosell, then president of FC Barcelona, first announced the €57.1 million acquisition of Neymar, it was hailed as a "golazo" – a brilliant goal – for the La Liga side. The particulars of the transfer, however, initially were shrouded in mystery, as Rosell invoked confidentiality obligations when asked for a breakdown of the finances. Rosell's evasiveness, coupled with the relative bargain at which they acquired Neymar, led many observers to believe that Barca's golazo may have been offside. The first half of what has become known as "Neymar-gate" kicked off when FC Barcelona club member Jordi … [Read more...] about Barca’s Defense Against Tax Charges Related to Neymar Signing Heads into Extra Time

MADISON, Wis. — U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan says he told his former colleague and longtime friend Peter Barca that would be difficult for him to enter the Democratic primary for Congress this close to the primary. Barca is considering running in southeast Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District currently represented by House Speaker Paul Ryan. Two other Democrats, Randy Bryce and Cathy Myers, are already running. But Barca represented the district in the 1990s and started thinking about running again after Ryan announced he would not seek re-election. Pocan said Monday he tried to explain to Barca how hard it would be to get in the race with the Aug. 14 primary just three and a half months away. Pocan has endorsed Bryce in the race. Barca said last week he was at least several days away from deciding on whether to run. … [Read more...] about Pocan says it would be difficult for Barca to enter race
