Thompson said he submitted more than 5,000 signatures to the Government Accountability Board.

Although three other Republicans are running -- Jeff Fitzgerald, Eric Hovde and Mark Neumann. Thompson says he's the right choice to secure a Republican win.

Tammy Baldwin is the only Democrat running in the race.
