Tom Barrett To Challenge Scott Walker In Recall
The rematch is on between Tom Barrett and Gov. Scott Walker, after the Milwaukee mayor coasted to victory over former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk on Tuesday in the 2012 recall primary.
Barrett, 58, now faces a 28-day sprint to the finish in a historic recall election June 5 against the embattled Republican governor.
“As the governor of this state, I will end Scott Walker’s ideological civil war,” Barrett told jubilant supporters gathered at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Milwaukee.
“Do we want a governor who will divide this state like it’s never been divided before?” Barrett asked to shouts of “No!” from the crowd.
