You've probably heard the news: Scott Walker just dropped out of the presidential race.
It's tempting to take a victory lap. Scott Walker tried to take his "divide and conquer" politics national and he failed. But here in Wisconsin, we don't have that luxury -- because we're living through the consequences of Walker's policies every day. He is still governor of Wisconsin until 2019 and today's news doesn't change that reality.
But here's why I'm hopeful. I truly believe Wisconsinites and Americans want to support candidates who believe our elections should be about ideas and a discussion of how to help working families get by in this economy, not "divide and conquer" politics. That's why I'm running a campaign built on listening to Wisconsinites and taking up their fight with an honest and independent voice.
Scott Walker is no longer running for president, but the damage he and Senator Johnson have done to Wisconsin will take years to undo. It's going to take everyone rolling up their sleeves and coming together. I'm counting on you to stand with me today and make "divide and conquer" a footnote in Wisconsin's history.
