MADISON (WKOW) – Governor Scott Walker's campaign says
Democrat Tom Barrett is about to enter his "third statewide losing campaign."
Walker's deputy campaign manager Dan Blum issued a
statement saying, "Rather than Tom Barrett's path of taking Wisconsin back to
the days of billion-dollar deficits, double-digit tax increases and record job
loss, we are confident that voters will choose to stand with Governor Walker
and move Wisconsin forward."
Barrett won the Democratic primary on Tuesday. He will
face Walker in a rematch of the 2010 race that Walker won by 5 points. Barrett
also ran for governor in 2002 and lost in the Democratic primary.
Below is the entire statement from the Blum of the Friends
of Scott Walker campaign:
"As Milwaukee Mayor
Tom Barrett enters the general election in his soon to be third statewide
losing campaign, he will surely find that his record of raising taxes and
promises to continue to do so will not resonate with voters. While Governor
Walker's term has seen unemployment drop to its lowest rate since 2008,
unemployment under Tom Barrett has risen more than 28%. Rather than Tom
Barrett's path of taking Wisconsin back to the days of billion-dollar deficits,
double-digit tax increases and record job loss, we are confident that voters
will choose to stand with Governor Walker and move Wisconsin forward."
