MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ)- Wisconsin Republicans will be gathering this weekend in Milwaukee.
The Republican Party of Wisconsin State Convention has the theme Delivering Results, Moving Wisconsin Forward.
Brett Healy of the Maciver Institute told WTAQ’s John Muir Show that Governor Scott Walker should use the opportunity to explain the importance of the upcoming elections.
“Remind them of why this election is so important, and what they stand to lose if they stand on the sidelines.”
One seat that many have an eye on is the U.S Senate seat held by Democrat Tammy Baldwin. Healy says either Leah Vukmier or Kevin Nicholson will get the party endorsement to challenge her.
“A candidate needs to reach 60 percent of the delegates present in order to earn the party endorsement.”
Healy says at this point indications are leaning one way.
“It seems like consensus is that Leah Vukmir would be the one that would earn the party endorsement.” Vukmir is challenging Kevin Nicholson for that nomination.
