Gov. Walker wants to direct attention to Wis. - WKOW 27: Madison, WI Breaking News, Weather and Sports

MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- Gov. Scott Walker said he will direct attention to Wisconsin by using his growing political celebrity.

While in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, Gov. Walker appeared with other governors at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and at a session with students at Marquette University's Les Aspin Center for Government. At a breakfast held by The Christian Science Monitor, he took questions from national journalists.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Walker said he wants to use the new attention to possibly attract companies.

On Thursday, Walker said his recall victory provides no guarantee Republicans would carry Wisconsin in November. He said Mitt Romney "has a shot" but has to appeal to more than just Republicans and needs to hone his economic message.

Walker also wouldn't pick a favorite in the Republican Senate primary.
