Walker accepts two debate invites; Barrett wants four
Gov. Scott Walker's campaign announced today that he's accepted two debate invitations, half of the number Dem rival Tom Barrett wants.
Walker's campaign said he will do the the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association debate May 25 and a second scheduled May 31 and hosted by Mike Gousha of "UpFront with Mike Gousha," in partnership with Marquette University Law School, WisPolitics.com and the UpFront network of affiliates.
Barrett's campaign today challenged Walker to do four debates focused on jobs. That call did not specify which four possible debates Barrett wanted to do.
UPDATE: Barrett's campaign said today he accepted both of those offers as well as invites from the League of Women Voters with a consortium of statewide media June 3 and one hosted by Wisconsin Public TV, Wisconsin Public Radio, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Today's TMJ4.
