(WBAY) – Green Bay, Wisconsin On Saturday and Sunday, candidates for governor of Wisconsin and the U.S. Senate canvassed the state in an effort to win over voters.
Tim Michels, the opponent, and governor Tony Evers spent the weekend in southern Wisconsin. They gathered support in Madison and Waukesha, among other cities.
Both spoke on the foundations of their respective campaigns.
Even among those who prefer to support Democrats, there isn’t a huge split between the north and south, the rural and urban areas, Evers claimed. They have environmental concerns. They have concern for public schools. They strive towards excellence in the University of Wisconsin system.
“This election is about these guys and women that I’ve worked with my entire life in the army and in construction. That will always be the focus of my administration.
Wisconsin’s hard-working families,” Michels stated.
Ron Johnson, a U.S. senator, joined Michels.
“The open-border inundated lethal narcotics, the sky-high crime, the highest inflation in 40 years, the record gas costs. These catastrophes were all brought on by Democratic policy, according to Johnson.
Mandela Barnes, the current lieutenant governor, gave a speech in Milwaukee.
The majority of people in this state support the things that we do.
Whether it’s increasing the minimum wage or offering healthcare to everyone in this state and nation,” Barnes said.
On election night, strategists will be intently monitoring Northeast Wisconsin. The results of the candidates in a few crucial counties will determine the outcome of the campaign, they informed our Milwaukee sister station WISN.
“On the Republican side, the “BOW” and “WOW” counties actually matter. The “BOW” counties stand for Brown, Outagamie, and Winnebago.
The “WOW” counties are Waukesha, Washington, and Ozaukee. Republican Strategist Bill McCoshen stated that Republicans “need to roll up enormous margins in those six counties.”
Joe Zepecki, a Democratic strategist, is keeping an eye on another region of the state.
I’m considering Dane County. How high is possible for the enormous blue machine? Bill knows that’s the part of the state that’s growing and Democratic performance has been increasing every two years.
”
Some are unsure whether voters will cast ballots for candidates from multiple political parties in light of a recent Marquette Law School poll.
According to the strategists, there won’t be enough split-ticket votes to significantly alter the outcome of the election.
Ticket-splitters will always exist, Zepecki said. “I believe that number is getting lower every two years, as evidenced by Wisconsin politics. That pattern will probably continue.
I won’t claim there is none, but I’m not sure whether there will be enough to make a difference in either race.
Every cycle, fewer and fewer. Joe is correct. We hadn’t had a split-ticket since 1998 at that point. The U.S. Senate position was won by Russ Feingold. Governor Tommy Thompson won reelection for a fourth term. We haven’t witnessed anything similar since, according to McCoshen.
