Republican challengers lining up for Governor's race
While Governor Tony Evers takes his time considering whether or not he wants to run for a third time next year, at least two Republicans are testing the waters for their own bid. On Wednesday, Whitefish Bay businessman Bill Berrien joined Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann in the race for the Republican nomination. After serving the country as a U.S. Navy SEAL, Berrien started a manufacturing business in Whitefish Bay. He immediately aimed at Evers and other politicians and bureaucrats in Madison, calling for a change after they “sold our land to China, encouraged illegal immigration, and welcomed boys into our daughters’ sports and locker room.” Schoemann launched his bid in May after serving in the U.S. Army National Guard and in various roles in county government. He expressed in his campaign announcement that there are no Democratic candidates who could “offer anything other than the same failed status quo.” U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, former U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde, and former Gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels are also rumored to be thinking about throwing their hats into the ring. As for Evers, he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that his final decision will be made in the coming weeks
