Mary Burke, the only current Democratic candidate in the Wisconsin 2014 gubernatorial race, is scheduled to speak at Union South on the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s campus Wednesday night.
College Democrats of UW-Madison scheduled the event to provide students an opportunity to familiarize themselves with contemporary state issues. Students can ask questions on topics they find concerning, such as college affordability according to College Democrats Chair Austin Helmke.
The event is designed as a meet-and-greet to allow everyone who attends to have an opportunity to shake Burke’s hand and briefly converse with her on a personal level.
Helmke said he thinks the event will be a good chance for students to engage with Burke.
“She is not very well-known in the state,” Helmke said. “This is a great opportunity for campus to get a sense for who she really is.
Burke is scheduled to speak in Northwoods B room in Union South at 6:45 p.m.
