Vinehout files 3,300 signatures
Dem Sen. Kathleen Vinehout's guv campaign says she filed about 3,300 signatures with the GAB this morning.
Vinehout, D-Alma, delivered the nomination papers in a box and said that box contained the hopes and dreams of a fresh start in Wisconsin.
Vinehout said in an interview she is the candidate for anyone who "doesn't like money in politics and doesn't like being told who to vote for."
She said people who focus on Tom Barrett and Kathleen Falk in the Dem primary are making the mistake of assuming this will be a conventional campaign. She said it's not and pointed to comments she's heard on the campaign trail from voters who are demanding details on how the candidates would fix the state's schools, for example, not just a pledge to improve education.
"This is not the year for politicians to talk in sound bites," she said. "They want details. They want depth. They want to know you’ve done the homework. This is a very different year."
