GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Candidates continue to make their final push to Wisconsin voters ahead of Tuesday’s general election.
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde attended a tailgate event at Lambeau Field before the Packers game.
“What I’m hearing is people are ready for change,” said Hovde. “They’ve been hurt by inflation, they want our border closed. They want our police funded. They want a change in this country, so I feel pretty good about where things are going.”
His opponent, Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin, spoke at a rally before the Packers game in Milwaukee with former President, Barack Obama.
“Wisconsin, the stakes could not be higher. For our reproductive freedom, for our healthcare, for our economy. We have the choice to embrace our state motto and move forward,” said Baldwin.
Both Baldwin and Hovde campaigned in the state back on Tuesday, October 29th.
Baldwin was in Brown County, while Hovde spoke in Madison.
The race for that Senate seat is razor close.
In the final Marquette Law School poll before the general election — Baldwin has 51% support, to Hovde’s 49% among likely voters.
Candidates seeking a seat in the House were also out trying to reach voters.
Tony Wied was also at the tailgate with Hovde.
“What I would do right away is introduce single subject spending bills. We need to get our budget under control,” said Wied. “Right now, we’re spending at such a reckless rate, and that’s what’s causing this inflation tax.”
FOX 11 also caught up with Dr. Kristin Lyerly heading into the game.
She’s looking to become the first democrat to win the seat since 2008.
“The ultimate focus is to build relationships so that all of the priorities can come together and pass,” said Lyerly. “Making sure that we have access to abortion care and reproductive health care, that is critical. We need to solve the immigration crisis. That bill is sitting there. All it needs is the political courage to push it across the line.”
To borrow a phrase on a football Sunday, the Candidates are leaving it all out on the field before voters cast their ballot on election day.
