(WBAY) – Green Bay, Wisconsin Candidates are presenting their closing just days before voters cast their ballots on November 8. Republican candidate Tim Michels was in Northeast Wisconsin on Friday while Democratic incumbent Gov. Tony Evers concentrated on the western portion of the state in the election for governor.
The Democrats are congregating at Houdini Plaza in downtown Appleton on Friday night to promote awareness of the abortion debate and their own Get Out the Vote campaign in the Fox Valley. Both candidates conducted their own rallies on Friday.
Gov. Evers spoke to Democratic supporters in Hudson, saying it’s important to have a good turnout there and other places outside of strongholds like Madison and Milwaukee, knowing Republicans are expected to do well with rural voters.
Gov. Evers stated, “We have decreased your taxes by 15%, and moving forward, we’re going to go another 10%, and all of that will be focused on middle-class taxpayers in the state of Wisconsin. Never trust my opponent. He is referring to a flat tax. Everyone in this room, including myself, will be paying more, I can assure you of that.
”
Michels clarified recent comments he made that, if elected, Republicans would never lose in Wisconsin again at a speech at the Brown County GOP offices.
“Once the people of Wisconsin see what happens when we lower their taxes, when we lower crime in Wisconsin, when we reform education, and we have better schools, and we have a governor and a Republican party that’s going to stand up for working families, and working men, working women in Wisconsin, we are going to never look back,” Michels said.
Less than one percentage point separated the winners of the most recent governor’s contest.
It’s a major factor in why both candidates want to campaign up until Tuesday’s polls close at 8 p.m.
Governor candidates run their campaigns in different parts of the state.
