1
00:00:00,601 --> 00:00:00,767
So a lot of other

2
00:00:00,834 --> 00:00:01,602
people have already shifted

3
00:00:01,668 --> 00:00:02,536
to looking at the election

4
00:00:02,603 --> 00:00:03,203
next year.

5
00:00:03,270 --> 00:00:03,971
What's the

6
00:00:04,037 --> 00:00:05,105
recruitment process look like

7
00:00:05,172 --> 00:00:06,306
when you've got a lot of

8
00:00:06,373 --> 00:00:07,508
competitive seats out there?

9
00:00:07,574 --> 00:00:08,642
Yeah, I mean, it's really

10
00:00:08,709 --> 00:00:09,643
no different than it's been

11
00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:11,211
for the past 30 or 40 years.

12
00:00:11,278 --> 00:00:12,012
We've always

13
00:00:12,079 --> 00:00:12,913
had a competitive map

14
00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:13,547
in Wisconsin.

15
00:00:13,614 --> 00:00:14,381
We've been successful

16
00:00:14,448 --> 00:00:15,015
because we recruit

17
00:00:15,082 --> 00:00:15,682
good candidates

18
00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:16,917
who are locally based

19
00:00:16,984 --> 00:00:17,985
and they focus on the issues

20
00:00:18,051 --> 00:00:19,419
that matter to Wisconsinites.

21
00:00:19,486 --> 00:00:20,454
As I look at what's happening

22
00:00:20,521 --> 00:00:21,321
in the governor's race

23
00:00:21,388 --> 00:00:22,456
I watch the Democrats

24
00:00:22,523 --> 00:00:23,123
go farther

25
00:00:23,190 --> 00:00:24,591
and farther to the left.

26
00:00:24,658 --> 00:00:25,659
Their entire campaign

27
00:00:25,726 --> 00:00:27,227
has focused on one person.

28
00:00:27,294 --> 00:00:28,328
Not the average mom

29
00:00:28,395 --> 00:00:29,863
or dad in Wausau

30
00:00:29,930 --> 00:00:32,132
or Rhinelander or Eau Claire

31
00:00:32,199 --> 00:00:33,233
but they're focused on

32
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:33,967
Donald Trump.

33
00:00:34,034 --> 00:00:34,535
And I think

34
00:00:34,601 --> 00:00:35,335
most people are sick

35
00:00:35,402 --> 00:00:35,969
and tired

36
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:37,037
of having an argument

37
00:00:37,104 --> 00:00:37,905
about one person.

38
00:00:37,971 --> 00:00:39,072
They want to see results.

39
00:00:39,139 --> 00:00:40,541
So I think our candidates

40
00:00:40,607 --> 00:00:41,341
are going to talk

41
00:00:41,408 --> 00:00:42,075
about affordability.

42
00:00:42,142 --> 00:00:42,943
How do we make things better

43
00:00:43,010 --> 00:00:44,478
for the average family?

44
00:00:44,545 --> 00:00:44,978
We're going to

45
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:45,646
bring up a bill

46
00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:46,680
this spring that focuses

47
00:00:46,747 --> 00:00:47,848
on putting more money back

48
00:00:47,915 --> 00:00:48,782
into the pockets

49
00:00:48,849 --> 00:00:49,716
of Wisconsinites.

50
00:00:49,783 --> 00:00:50,350
We're going to

51
00:00:50,417 --> 00:00:51,318
focus on property taxes

52
00:00:51,385 --> 00:00:52,719
because they're way too high.

53
00:00:52,786 --> 00:00:53,420
And ultimately

54
00:00:53,487 --> 00:00:53,887
we're going to try

55
00:00:53,954 --> 00:00:54,521
to make sure

56
00:00:54,588 --> 00:00:55,189
we have good programs

57
00:00:55,255 --> 00:00:55,756
that can build a

58
00:00:55,822 --> 00:00:56,490
social safety net

59
00:00:56,557 --> 00:00:57,758
but in a way that encourages

60
00:00:57,824 --> 00:00:58,792
people to get off of it

61
00:00:58,859 --> 00:01:01,662
and doesn't become a hammock.
