Johnson wants to work out debate schedule
Last week, U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold held a press conference to announce he has accepted invitations to six debates against his Republican opponent.
The first of those debates was to be this Sunday in Eau Claire.
But as they celebrate the primary victory tonight, Republican nominee Ron Johnson's campaign says they want to negotiate a schedule of debates with Feingold's campaign.
"Tonight is about winning the primary," Johnson campaign spokeswoman Sara Sendek said in an email to WisPolitics. "Ron is looking forward to debating Senator Feingold and comparing his record of a career politician to Ron's record of creating jobs. Now that Ron has secured the Republican Primary, we will start working with the Feingold campaign to work out a debate schedule that works for both candidates."
