Gov. Scott Walker recall candidate Tom Barrett received the latest in a string of recent endorsements Tuesday, as Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, announced his support for the Milwaukee mayor.
“Tom Barrett will be a governor who will focus on jobs, and restore trust, integrity and accountability to state government,” Barca said in a statement. “Our Wisconsin values have been under assault from this governor over the past 15 months, and its time for a healer who will bring us together.”
Former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk, Barrett’s chief opponent in the May 8 primary election, has received numerous endorsements from public sector unions around the state.
But in the latest polls, Barrett had a significant lead on Falk and the other two candidates Kathleen Vinehout, D-Alma, and Wisconsin Secretary of State Doug La Follette.
The general election will be held June 5.
