With a potential recall election looming, Gov. Scott Walker and his supporters are preparing to counter Democratic efforts against him and defend his record.
On Saturday, Walker supporters held their first major rally in Wauwatosa. Although Walker was not in attendance, Wisconsin First Lady Tonette Walker addressed the crowd of over 1,000. Several prominent state Republicans, including former Gov. Tommy Thompson, also spoke at the event.
Walker also launched a new website Friday dedicated to highlighting his achievements in office and future initiatives.
"I look forward to talking to the people of Wisconsin about my continued promises to control government spending, balance the budget, and hold the line on taxes," Walker said in a statement.
Recently, Walker has aimed to drum up the support of Republicans across the country as well. The governor spoke to a group of conservatives in Texas earlier this month and attended a fundraiser in New York last week.
