Incumbent Gov. Scott Walker said he’s is fully aware that he’s trailing challenger Tony Evers in recent polls. He’s also convinced conditions are right to score a comeback victory on election night.
The Republican governor points to Sen. Ron Johnson’s 2016 come-from-behind win over Russ Feingold as the roadmap.
The challenge, Walker said, will be to ramp up the campaign, entice voters and tout the state’s improved economy.
This is just one of the takeaways from a wide-ranging interview Walker had with Standard Press Editor Jason Arndt this week. Among the other topics are the impact of Foxconn, school financing and health care reform.
The interview with Walker – the Standard Press plans a similar interview with Evers – is just one of the stories featured in this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press.
