Madison Mayor Paul Soglin announced Sunday he will endorse Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in the recall election of Gov. Scott Walker.
Joining Soglin in his endorsement are Madison’s four previous mayors, Dave Cieslewicz, Sue Bauman, Joe Sensenbrenner and Joel Skornicka.
Additionally, U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis., held a press conference today at the Milwaukee Public Market to announce that she would also endorse Barrett in the upcoming June 5 th election.
Barrett, who was defeated by Walker in a close 2010 election, is currently leading all other candidates in the recall primary, based on the latest Public Policy Polling survey. Former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk, who has received many endorsements from many large Wisconsin unions, trails Barrett in the poll.
The poll shows Walker still leads the Democratic challengers with 50 percent of those polled supporting the Governor, as opposed to Barrett’s 45 percent.
