[Madison, Wis.] – Today the Walker campaign announced that Governor Scott Walker is challenging Democrat nominee for governor Tony Evers to two debates this fall. The campaign released the following statement from Campaign Manager Joe Fadness:
“Scott Walker is accepting two debates for the fall and we encourage his opponent to step up and do the same. Four years ago, the governor participated in the two debates sponsored by Wisconsin Broadcasters Association. Given their decision to hold only one governor’s debate this year, the governor is agreeing to one additional statewide debate in line with our earlier practice. The governor is looking forward to sharing his vision to move Wisconsin forward at the debates this fall by WBA and the partnership between WTMJ TV, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and Milwaukee Public Radio.”
