Candidates react to recall certification
Gov. Scott Walker's campaign said it has long anticipated that the recall election would move forward following the GAB's vote this morning, and predicted that voters would reject "this $9 million power grab by out-of-state special interests.”
"Now it is time for voters to examine the choice they will be faced with in June," Walker spokewoman Ciara Matthews said in a statement. "We believe a majority of Wisconsin voters will stand with Governor Walker’s record of laying the foundation for a more successful Wisconsin while moving the state forward and against the Democrats’ failed policies that would take Wisconsin back to the days of a $3.6 billion budget deficit.
Former Dane Co. Exec. Kathleen Falk told reporters after the GAB meeting that she'll continue to listen the voters of Wisconsin as a primary looms in just six weeks.
"We have these shared values here ... and Governor Walker has assaulted every one," Falk said.
State Sen. Kathleen Vinehout and Secretary of State Doug La Follette have joined Falk in the Dem field, while Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett continues to weigh a bid.
