Burke is the right opponent for Walker
Last week, Mary Burke officially declared her candidacy in the 2014 gubernatorial election, and the announcement, while anticipated, left Wisconsin Democrats invigorated as she’s proven her ability to compensate for Gov. Scott Walker’s incredible political advantage. Burke not only has consummate experience making jobs in the private sector—allowing her to overcome Walker’s failed 250,000 jobs promise from 2010 and capturing the essence of the economic message Democrats always struggle with—but she also displays a certain level of authenticity. Unlike Walker, she isn’t a career politician jockeying for the next seat, only having served in a minor elected office since 2012.
