So a lot of other
people have already shifted
to looking at the election
next year.
What's the
recruitment process look like
when you've got a lot of
competitive seats out there?
Yeah, I mean, it's really
no different than it's been
for the past 30 or 40 years.
We've always
had a competitive map
in Wisconsin.
We've been successful
because we recruit
good candidates
who are locally based
and they focus on the issues
that matter to Wisconsinites.
As I look at what's happening
in the governor's race
I watch the Democrats
go farther
and farther to the left.
Their entire campaign
has focused on one person.
Not the average mom
or dad in Wausau
or Rhinelander or Eau Claire
but they're focused on
Donald Trump.
And I think
most people are sick
and tired
of having an argument
about one person.
They want to see results.
So I think our candidates
are going to talk
about affordability.
How do we make things better
for the average family?
We're going to
bring up a bill
this spring that focuses
on putting more money back
into the pockets
of Wisconsinites.
We're going to
focus on property taxes
because they're way too high.
And ultimately
we're going to try
to make sure
we have good programs
that can build a
social safety net
but in a way that encourages
people to get off of it
and doesn't become a hammock.
